Truck Stuck

Although the one I use is all beat up and weathered, I prefer the 4 foot peavey to the longer ones to move logs that are not in a good position to cut.

The empty space of the bed of the farm truck has now been filled to capacity with seasoned, dry, split firewood. The problem still remains of getting the Big Red Beast from the barn on the far side of the river to the barn that has electricity and the electric powered wrapping machine.

The truck sits in dry comfort while showers and predicted thunderstorms mud up the place, in the meantime I will concentrate on finishing off the last of the wood deck that we have been working on all summer long (the logs in the background of the picture have the designation of being the next deck to be cut into 16 inch lengths). Since it is now wet again, these pieces will need to be stacked into a crib where they can dry out again before we can do the bundling process.

As for the truck, it will need to stay in the barn across the river while we get a dry break for at least three days.

With Mike driving, he can get the truck from the barn to the bridge easily, and from the bridge through the small pasture, but getting the old truck across the county road is a problem. The steep incline up to the road is only grass and dirt and right now that is too slick for the truck that needs to be revved up (floored) even on the best dry days to lumber up to the crest of the road before leveling out at the base of the rocked driveway. Hopefully we can get The Big Red Beast out of this barn where it is in the way for splitting firewood during the rainy season and into the barn where she can rest with her load until the cold weather of winter has us scrambling for dry firewood to process into bundles.
