So what is everyone's' plans for today?

Worked our local ambulance service's annual pancake breakfast. We served 330 people in about 5 hours. It was a good day.

I was going to finish blocking the trees I cut last fall and started blocking yesterday but just as I finished sharpening the saw and warming up the tractor DD2 showed up from an overnight with her mini spare on. So instead of doing wood, I swapped her winter tires for summer tires. Then I drove the garden tractor out of the barn to turn it around so I could take the snow blower off. Seems the mount for the winch is racked probably due to the wire clamp I had to use when the cable broke the last time I was blowing. Another thing to fix. I did get the blower, chains and rear weight off the GT.

And of course I need to cut a lot more trees for this coming winter.

You are slightly ahead of us, Bruce. We have a tree with a 24 + inch trunk on the ground waiting for us to harvest it. We have been harvesting trees about the size you have on the ground so far. Big tree was felled last fall when DH lost one of his planes in it. He said if it hadn't been his best motor he would have let it stay where it was but he couldn't do that with this RC.

Harsh winter brought down a lot of deadfall for us to harvest. We used 2/3rds of last year's harvest so we shouldn't have to work as hard as we did last year.

Just home from our HAM club meeting, grocery shopping and Wally World stop. Now dinner then crash and burn. At least the sun came out.

BF has been looking at a new one also he has a electric one I laughed when I saw it
He did finally show me a old one from his dad I got it running again sharpened it
works like a dream now starts first pull BF loves when I will kick in and do some

DH has Echo chain saws. Biggest is a 590. It's a moose. I don't know how he works with it but it's a heavy use farmer grade chainsaw. He has two lighter ones that he uses for small trees and cutting out tops/slash. I use the lightest one....or used to. AS won't let me any more.
