The New Pick ...

September 30, 2015

When my cousin Klaus was here this summer ...
he had wondered why we did not have a loggers pick ...
to lift up the logs ... said it would save us from bending over and picking up the logs ...
Klaus was a forester in Austria...
We did the research online and found one ... The Oregon Log Lifting Pick ...
Our neighbourhood truck and saw guy ... ordered it for us.
It took abut 6 weeks to finally get it ...
we were excited to try it out ...
and found that it is a very handy tool to have ... !!!
Thank you Klaus ... !!!
It took us about 3 hours total ...
to cut up and stack ...
two truckloads of firewood ...
The picture of "Old Blue" was only ¾ loaded ...
We have one more row left to get ...
the next loads will be of pine wood ...
saving the hardwood for the colder weather ...

It was a beautiful fall day ...

to be out working on the firewood ...
