That last meme is too accurate, especially in the humidness of south Florida

More storm damage today. This is a little self-contained rigging setup using the back end of my traveler ring for a Munter. Ground guy held the piece while I cut it, then transferred the line to me to lower it. It was a fairly big oak limb, bigger than I could hold on just a natural crotch.
just need more wraps on the natural crotch

Munters are super useful. A Super-munter is, too.
for NC:
An extra wrap, spread into a spiral by clipping into a sling and biner away from the final friction point helps get more friction without binding and moves the lowering end into an advantageous position away from the direct action.

Rain in the morning with a little saw maintenance.
Back to a job we were working on for 2 half days before Christmas and a half day before New YearsIta 32"x150' fir near the water started heaving in the wind with saturated ground.
Solo today, first day back. Break in the weather , finally after an inch of rain yesterday.
There's a hedge directly adjacent to the trunk along the property line.
Got three hangers down and about a dozen larger limbs with a couple rigging ropes and double- whip tackle slings.
Hard to see the difference, but it was an hour and a half of climbing/ rigging and hour and a half to clean up.

A half day of good-turned-cool and breezy weather zipping down a dozen or so 25' fir limbs natty crotch and chunking down onto a crashpad...water line somewhere below. Used the mini to build/ be a part of a barricade against bunch pièces, but unneeded. Loaded logs at dusk, locally around 440p.
Left off with 60' or so of trunk. I'll hopefully grab one or 2 new 28" bars and some new chains in the AM and get the rest dropped and loaded tomorrow.

I've been gone for a while, was feeling pretty burned out in December but back in action after a nice few weeks off over the holidays. My one employee leaves in a month, so working on recalibrating.
Had some good rain, finally got my firewood split, floated an alder over a shed, found a classic Homelite in a customers tree, did some lift work and the other day bought a dump trailer like I asked about a while back here. Ended up with a Lamar 6.5'x12', 10k GVW. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but seems like a well built unit with a lot of good features, was $11,300 all said and done.

I like how casually the Homelite in the tree was included in there.
Glad you got some good rest. Good to see you’re gettin’ after it.

What's funny is about two hours later I managed to pinch my own saw making a bore-cut... only I pulled the bar and chain off, tripped it with another saw and went home with all my tools.

Have you seen the stihl grown into the tree that stihl runs?
I’ve definitely pulled that trick before!
Don't recall ever seeing or working with Eastern Red cedar. Does it make good lumber?
And I know all about the kid in the candy shop feeling,. I have been milling for a long time and I still get all giddy and warm and fuzzy inside every time I get into a really nice log..

Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus verginiana) makes decent lumber. Although it does tend to split easily and it’s a little softer than true cedars, I love to make things with it…
