'Twas A Nice Day For Felling Osage
« on: March 18, 2012, 12:08:33 am »
This is the 4th load.  Previous loads were in cold, blowing snow conditions.  But, gotta get it when you can.  Finally, a nice Michigan day for harvesting.  I'll sleep good tonight...

Wow, I think we should change today to St. Osage day  ;D  There's a lot of drawknifing in your future.  Have fun with that.

I can't sleep worth a damn tonight. I'm sure you will sleep very well.

sorry to inform you matt,but that wood aint no good. havent you heard the maclura pomifera blackhawkitis bug has run rampant thru michigan and made all osage there worthless. all michigan osage cut needs to be properly disposed of here in pennsylvania...so hitch that trailer back up and haul it down here n drop it off for proper disposal >:D

Dang! Nice haul.  How much does one of those osage logs weigh?

CMB:  I'm gonna guess 7 or 800 lbs on average.  They are very heavy.  It took 3 of us guys to load them.  We backed the trailer up to them and all three of us picked up one end and flopped it over onto the trailer.  I think all 3 of us were at about the limit of our strengths on the heaviest one.

Doc:  My back is a bit sore also.  Arms are scratched up, well you know...

Postman:  You saw correctly.  The logs are very straight.  Ought to be some nice staves.

Pat:  I am storing up for the future.  Miss Heather asked if I had a lifetime supply, yet.  I replied with an I don't think so.  Gotta few more trees to cut.  I fell into a nice haul. 

Hawkster:  Shhhh.  Don't say the word "Bugs".  So far, so good....   LOL
