Today....

A live, healthy red alder for a change. Tied into it exclusively and rigged of f it.

I even got out my Rig'n'Wrench and a double- braid rope, but cut and lowered NC with treemaster, as it was so easy. Bling didn't get used.

The Auto-feed stopped feeding for half a second despite our fast feeding.

Decided to play with the micro-x and sawmill for a change. Made some nice cedar fence boards.

I've got an excess of logs, so a bit at a time will win it.

After picking up and really liking the feel of a particular snap (Edelrid DGS4000) I decided to improve my soft flip-line collection as I wasn't totally satisfied with what I'd been doing. Ended up making three new systems, a super-shorty 8', general use 14' trying out the ART Positioner 2 for the first time, and a long 30' set up to also work well as a short DRT system. Improving systems is a never ending process... Maybe I'll get a chance to try out my new Reflex this week...

We previously made the truck decking from eucalyptus. Today we milled live edge mesquite.

With that kind of weather, you certainly don't need a heater on that kiln!

Part of our service area was hit over the weekend with two back-to-back storms, the first one they are saying with one of the top 10 most damaging storms to ever hit the region. Damage is incredible, some neighborhoods have more trees on the ground then are still standing. We've had as many calls come through in the past two days as we usually get in three weeks.

I spent my day out opening roadways yesterday, and pulling trees off utility lines and one 250 year-old historical building today.

Yesterday, two of our guys made the local news: https://www.fox43.com/article/news/...mage/521-e54375e7-b180-4d09-b7e8-9ab189fe63b4

Nice work @Reach. Gnarly situation with the power outages and excessive heat. Hope it's going well to get folks back to cooler homes and hazards mitigated.

Thank you. Yes, the heat and crazy humidity have been making things a whole lot more difficult. I feel bad for all the people who are still with without electricity on top of all of their tree damage.

Consider stacking all stickers perpendicular to the length of the board and fully in- line vertically. 16" spacing or less. Very end to very end. Last stickers may not be perpendicular.

Thicker stickers may help air flow.
