Sniggin’ logs with the quad
Certainly not product scale harvesting… but that’s not what we’re doing anyway. It s great way to get exercise while gettin’ stuff done at the same time… with a little help from machinery.

Loggin’ in some time landscaping
Warm weather is coming, so before the black flies get too bad, time to spend outdoors cleaning the property before too many other summer chores take over.

yard work today
Trying to ease the body back into physical labour 🙂 Doing a bit of yard work today. While the snow is disappearing, the ground is still pretty much frozen solid a couple inches under the surface. Thinning trees and limbing up what remains standing.

Teeth make all the difference
The teeth finally arrived for the bucket and of course I had to get them on and try out the CAT before sundown. Whoa! Teeth make all the difference. I mean, I knew it would but wow, sure is easy now. I pulled this stump out of the ground in one back drag and then with one pass forward I picked it up. Like a kid in the candy store, I had to get out and take pics. 🙂

Winter Wood
Its that time of year, where the mornings are cool and the sun stays low over the trees until noon. Just right for moving wood into primary storage for next year.
