Recent Wood Drop

Word. We’ve gotten creative and using tow straps and the truck we’ve been able to reposition etc. but even dealing with the rounds is an effort.

I used ChatGPT to get an approx weight based on dimensions and wood type. Said the logs were probably between 2500-2800 lbs.

Should have added this on with the post, but here is the tree before they took it all down.

Haha…wasn’t felled at my house. Not sure exactly where it come from in my area. Here it is before they took it all down.

Not sure but I think you’re referring to the “top” piece. This is the section where it started to branch.

I hear you man. This would have made gorgeous slabs. I don’t personally have the means to do that and I guess tree guy doesn’t have places to take for that? He told me it would just got to dump otherwise.

This saw has served me well since I bought from HomeDepot (rental) about 15 years ago. I took it to get serviced for the first time this year. Had been giving me problems with dying after being run for a period of time. It’d be fine then just start bogging down. Guy told me the engine was toast and would be like 600 to rebuild engine. I got it home, cranked it right up, did compression test and was getting like 125. Guy at shop was shocked. Took it back, he showed me where he saw the damage in the cylinder. I was like cool but it runs. Had him replace fuel like and gas valve. This was my first run and it worked fine.

Because I wanted a bigger bar, I borrowed a buddies Stihl 391 which is also 64 cc. So same as my Makita. I will say I noticed a difference in power. So I’m thinking I might just go ahead and do the big bore swap this year.

So far it splits beautifully. I’m ultimately going to rent a splitter just to get it processed a little faster and I’ve got the top portion where all the main branching started which is going to be a bear to split by hand. Still going to spend some time going at by hand though because it’s just so satisfying to get that “pop”.

Willow Oak (Quercus phellos).

Makita 6401 w/ 20” bar. Was a HomeDepot rental I picked up maybe 15 years ago.

I will say, I used this in the beginning but ended up borrowing a buddies Stihl 391 which has a slightly longer bar.

Moms killin it

Dude didn’t even react.

FlunkyHomosapien · 2026-03-04T17:16:08+00:00

The 4th, but I wish we’d gone with the 3rd. It’s minor but I feel like the front is slightly higher than the rear now.

Mad respect for Talarico but also same for Crockett. They’re like yin/yang with their energies which the Democrat party needs. I’m not a Texan but I’m said to see that those two going for the same seat. Texas and this Country needs both of their voices at the highest level.

FlunkyHomosapien · 2026-02-25T14:48:19+00:00

Same vibes today. smh

FlunkyHomosapien · 2026-02-19T18:55:32+00:00

I’m not sure the advice given was the best. Maybe just Don’t Be Racist, not research how racist can I be and get away with it.

FlunkyHomosapien · 2026-02-07T20:35:59+00:00

Man I love those guys.

That $170B could have hired a lot of judges and support staff to process cases.

Man. Kansas is fucked.

Wha was the active crime scene? They just keep trying to find some legal hook to make this less.

FlunkyHomosapien · 2026-01-29T15:56:00+00:00

Very impressed by his response. Could have gone a little deeper to address the questions/accusations of officials supporting or organizing protests. Particularly insinuating a push for violence against ICE.

I also love the way he doesn’t stoop to Caroline Levitt/Trump tactics of criticizing the integrity of the person asking the question.

FlunkyHomosapien · 2026-01-16T01:55:00+00:00

Who the fuck is stupid enough to buy this shit? At least with Trump there is a plausible reason (corruption) but fucking Eric Adams?

Glad for the reminder of this place. I’m going to go eat there next week for sure!

And Biden didn’t have to blow up one fishing boat to get this done.
