So what did you do today?

[LandFakers]

Cut down this dead standing oak, left the stump high because I’m going to use it to help hold up another wood rack I’m going to build. It has been dropping its branches 1 by 1 and tired of cleaning up after it. Some of it can get split, some of it is just too soggy and punky

Walk with the pup, nap with the pup.
Then while watching a movie clean slated my laptop with a fresh windows install.
Some settings still to go through in order to turn off any and all annoying notifications, but there is no rush as it is not my primary PC.

No chainsaw time today at all!

I both envy & pity You!

I had like 1-2" of snow so far.
However much I crave snow for the winter feel, I am much more grateful not having to shovel any.

I have a lot of 10" snow and sometimes more, so I tend to shovel it

Pretty good x-country skiing out my way. A lot of blowdown in our hemlocks.

Our summer storms wreaked havock in my region!
Crazy amount of trees on the ground, untouchable for the common folk - illegal to process without a permit.

A big ice storm would level most remaining trees, so for the sake of nature I hope we won't get any surprise winter storms.

2-3ft of snow in the Lake Saimaa area here in Finland.
Snowblower needs an oil change soon. Those Loncin 212cc engines just are the most reliable engines I've ever seen.

Bought this 266 XPG a few months ago. It needed a carb kit and a little cleaning.
It looks all original to me, except the black sticker on the clutch cover. I have never seen one like that on a 266.

Thanks. I don't think it's aftermarket. My grey top 61 has the exact same sticker. I guess it has been replaced somewhere during it's lifetime.

Just got my latest one. Husqvarna 51 from 1998. Got to look tomorrow if closed port or not. Very revvy compared to 340.
This class is considered a real chainsaw here, not a "small chainsaw".
We just do not have huge trees like you guys and gals in US

OK, this wasn’t today but I wanted something to report darn it….. I made this motorized rotating light bar for the pickup. Just a length of 2 1/4” exhaust tubing to replace the factory Ram Bar’s rear upper tube. The timing belt, pulleys, and motor were an eBay find. I used a spherical bearing at each end so wiring could run down the center. I finished it a few months ago but have yet to take a pic of it with the lights mounted. A relay board with current sense automatically opens the circuit when the motor stalls against the end stops. The lights rotate about 270 degrees from the “deployed” position, tucking them underneath the bar when not in use.

And now I have chainsaw with reasonable wide operating rpm range. (it was open port ). Used tig wire as a probe and could not feel "hole-wall-hole" - phenomenon. Some funny thoughts while writing...

I here you, I feel the same way. I enjoy the snow instead of the brown all winter, but the single digit temps we've been having not so much. If my fingers didn't get cold so quick, it wouldn't really be a big deal.
Now we've warmed back up into the 20s, little more snow on top of what was in those pics, and more on the way today.

I like your man lift. The snow…not so much.

My buddy was insistent that I needed a lift for $360 a day (after his big discount lol), plus wasting 2 hrs getting it. I just couldn't see doing that, but it would have been easier for the installation portion, but more time as I was cutting and installing.
I'll need to do something to get me up for the inside as I want to do the ceiling and the lean-to walls with osb and insulate them. I also plan on drywall on a 12x24 section that will all have 2x6 walls added and another r-19 of insulation. That area will be a little saw shop that's conditioned yr round.
Lots more to do/money to spend.
