Nice looking pile of wood! I'm one of those old(er) guys too. I have to agree with the other guys about hearing and eye protection. When I first started working in the woods, I was a landing chaser. I went from that to falling and then skidding logs, but I would still help out on the landing once in a while if needed. I never wore ear plugs, because its a dangerous job and I wanted to be able to hear the Cats, skidders and loaders working around me. I have terrible hearing now, and I wore hearing protection on every other job I did, so I have to attribute most of my hearing loss to running chain saws. A friend that used to fall timber with me picked up a piece of a knot with his saw chain and stuck it in his eye. He still has his eyesight, thanks to a cornea transplant. Glad to see that you're wearing chaps, but wear your hearing and eye protection too! I don't log anymore, but I cut quite a bit of firewood. I'm 5'8". The saw that I run the most is a Husky 55 with a 20" bar. I have to bend over a little, but its light. The saw that fits me the best is my Stihl 044 with a 30" bar. I guess it depends on what you are used to, the length of your arms, height of boot heels, etc. I also have a Husky 2100 with a 40" bar, left over from my logging days. I use it once in a while to cut a big tree. When I can't start it anymore, I'll know that I've gone from older to old!

Today's Featured Article - Farming Never Left My Blood - by Stan Gordon. I was born in 1947 youngest of ten of a working farm. Our farm was located in Saskatchewan near Saskatoon. We had a mixed farm consisting of grain and dairy all done with old machinery and by hand. My dad had a tractor, a Farmall A which was used mostly to run the thrashing machine, a seed drill and for plowing. I remember locals used to help each other and threshing was done from daylight to after dark, one farm to another until all farms were done.
