Since I have not been as active as before my wife's passing, I wanted to show one of the things keeping me busy. I'm my son's free labor while we harvest Koa on our family ranch. A huge Koa fell on the Nature Conservancy fence that keeps Axis deer out of the rainforest. Since we take several machines in there, we are harvesting 3 ancient, well over 200 hundred years old. And they were there probably when Captain Cook discovered Hawaii in 1778. My son mills a lot of it, I get to keep all the crooked pieces, the ones with the compression curl... Since we are not allowed, family rule, to harvest any tree that is alive, by the time we get to them, they have a lot of punk. But, still more than 80% is good wood. With heavy equipment we can harvest in one day what it used to be days of work with just me and my 7 chainsaws.
The other thing keeping busy is golf, LOL I do get in the shop every single day.
