Had two hickories dropped and cut into manageable pieces, and I got a deadfall cut out of a different hickory. One of the trees will be good for burning this year, it cured 2 years standing. The other one was green, so it should be good for next year. Guess I better get a couple of chains sharpened up.

.223s can ricochet over 1000 times, seen it happen. Sounded like a swarm of big bees for a split second. Bullets ricochet off water real easy. Coming back at ya is unusual, but I saw a video of a guy shooting a 50 cal rifle (Barett?), bullet came back and shot his ear protector off. Bet that hurt, too.

Hickory is a real hard wood. I thought my ash trees would be easy to cut, since ash is an easy woodworking wood, but the chain saw blade raised smoke pretty quick. I haven't used the saw since the arm problem, but maybe next week, still have enough left for at least a couple blade sharpenings. Cutting isn't the problem for me, though it is a workout; what just puts me down quick is lugging all that wood to a pile.
