Around the Place

We have had a whirlwind of a fall.  Can't believe Christmas is right at hand.  Try to get ahead cutting wood back in September and here we are about a week and a half from needing to cut some more.  The trees are down but so is the saw.  I am not sure what to make of it.  Four years of moderate use and the piston gives out on my MS 310 Stihl.  Get it rebuilt and 45 minutes of cutting later (one truck load) and the thing won't start.  Took it back in and it is worse now than the first time.  I don't think the diagnosied the failure mode properly the first time.

Sam drove the truck off of the retaining wall after unloading the wood.  Guess he thought it was a 4 wheel drive monster truck.  It tore out a few cinder blocks but the truck seems o.k. so far.  I will run it down to Hunstville later this week.

Well that's about it for now.  Hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas, looking at the cradle focused on the cross.  He's coming back again real soon.  Don't be caught unaware.
