Weird thing last week, got done cutting for the day and noticed I had no oil cap on my saw!! In all the years I've been cutting I have never had that happen before, ordered a new cap but after a big rain Thursday I went out and the rain washed the debris off it and I'm back in business! And now with a spare.
So I finally got around to dragging the tree I took down out of the woods, bucked it up and got some of it split. Good to get it out of the woods.

The log.

You jinxed me!!! There was a little frost in the ground this AM so I took the day off to bring out some wood. I drained the last of my can into the 590, felled a hitch and dragged them to the landing. I then grabbed my 490 to cut them to length.

I'd made one cut and was on the second when it started bogging, then died like it was out of gas.I knew it was full as I had topped it off yesterday and had only run it a few minutes. I just had a new carb put on but it still doesn't run right. I was thinking about scaling it out into the woods, dropping a tree onto it and running over it with the tractor (not really) when I noticed the cap was off.

I had hauled that thing 200 miles in the truck yesterday, about 15 miles on my snowsled, and used it twice; but the cap didn't come off until I got home.

It was a really nice day out today, sunny 60's, so I made some 2x6's,

It's always handy to have a few 2x6's around!

The only question in my mind is, what species of tree did you cut up this time?!?!?

It was the white pine I loaded on the mill yesterday, here it is again,

That log had a lot of tension in it, I chased it around the log, but a little of it still got into the lumber.

If there was a gas cap on my body somewhere, I think it may have fallen off as well.
