Odin love this weekend he got the granddaughters to lay on him when you get so worked up and excited that he won't eat while the granddaughters are here and far as treats go me his mom and is Grandpa are the only ones that can actually give him treats and he'll eat them

Mornin'.

Up with a cup as usual. We attacked a decent sized pile of firewood yesterday so I'm feeling my age this AM. Didn't sleep that well...even with the drugs. Always happens when I push it physically. All of those fun aches and pains come roaring forth! Woot! Bonus! Somethin' for you younguns to look forward to, for sure. :rolleyes: Stay in shape (not round...LOL) if you can 'cus it's comin'. Heehee. Blue hair too! I AM glad I can still do it though. Damn straight.

The wood is spoils from a huge project our electric Co-op did where they replaced all of the lines/poles/etc. coming up the road in the hood 2 years ago in May. After the big fires in Cali a few years ago our Co-op freaked out cus over time the powers-that-be just did what was easy...not what was right/safe....and most lines were hop-skotched through the trees. Either way...I ended up with about 4 cords of mostly OAK....which is the only hardwood here and very rare to see as firewood. If you do it's $400 a cord. Most of what is burned here is pine. Either way...it's heavy shit and we are having to pop it with the splitter to help it to dry out cus it will still be years before it's ready to burn. Just amazing stuff...

And I used my new Ego battery powered chainsaw. >>SOLD<< on it. Gonna buy a second one today...mostly cus you can buy the tool and battery (or two in this case/package) for about the same cost as the battery alone. :D Dat shit is kinda pricey but it's only money, right? I'll keep my Stihl 391 but I can already see it won't be the primary saw anymore. Ah...change.

I love all my Ego tools. You are right about the chainsaw, it's very nice. Once I bought the lawnmower the leaf blower followed quickly, then string trimmer, hedge clipper, single stage snow blower which has been running strong for 5 years now, if it ever bites it I'll get the 2 stage in a heartbeat. All excellent machines.

Just hit the button on (16") saw #2. This package has 2 4ah batteries. There are also 2 models of this 16" saw. One of 'em rivals the rpm's of the 18" saw. The other is only 6800rpm. I bought some cheap $10 chains as well and they just crush the Ego chains. FAR more beefy/larger teeth/etc. Not sure I can sharpen em yet. It'll take some adjustments on the sharpener. Hopeful. My other Ego tool is a weed eater/2.5ah. It's a beast. I'd have to see a snowblower perform before buying one. I have a huge Ariens SHO 32" and even that struggles on some storms. Oh boy...can't wait! (more body whiplash) Serious fun.

I get plenty of snow but I just have flat concrete and not much of it. The single stage handles everything but the slushy concrete stuff and I don't let more than a foot pile up without blowing. You have more challenging terrain.
