Some of you got it right.  I am "Web Free" at the Cabin.   ;D

Since I had three more SYP logs to Parbuckle and haul home I just deadheaded the trailer to the Cabin, worked on my ceiling for parts of 4 days, and then picked up my SYP logs on the way home this evening.

After looking at them again, I have decided to wait until I haul my backhoe over to my place before I attempt those Walnut trees.  My little red wagon is already loaded too heavily to mess with them otherwise.

lumber. Makes me want to go up the creek and whack down a couple nice ones
I have.

And I would take it CC.   :D :D

What was I thinking??  I was looking at those trees and figuring out how to get them out whole and sawing them roots and all.  Where the heck am I going to find time to do it?  I'm booked solid for the next 2-3 weeks sawing.  This week out of town as in 115 miles from home.  Then there is the Cabin Addition, plus, plus, plus.   :-\

I'm not complaining.  Life is good, and I am happy.   :)

Now that only happens when you got something ya wanna do.
I haven't had a order for 2 weeks or more so I have been building some 10ft horse or cattle panels and ties and then Thursday a guy stops me in the middle of the road and wants a trailer floor. Beofre I got done feeding the cows another call for a trailer floor. I delivered a dab of pallet lumber on Friday and got an order for 25 3¾x3¾-10' cants. Then later on friday when I went delivering some firewood slabs I got an order from a neighbor for 20  2x6-10' rafter boards.
I got 1 trailer floor and the cants sawn on Saturday afternoon. The other trailer floor is 16' so I have to go fetch some logs for it. I think I can get the 20 2x6-10' off some 10' logs that will tie and make up some ties to go by Friday. 
I am going to a conference in Oklahoma City Monday and Tuesday so the rest is going to wait. I just got blessed with enough work to pay my Feb. bills in the first week of it.  I guess I better start saving up for sweethearts day. 8) 8) 8)   PC
