I thought I would place this video here. This is some of the cherry wood will be going into my wood chunker and some into the fire pit or retort. More wood to haul out of the orchard.

Sorry I could not help my self.

I bet you glad winters over, nice wood pile and nice sunny day, how many orchard trees you got there, and what kind are they- I thought is was running on wood- clean burning and the timeing sounded like it was addvanced.

The orchard is all cherries, oh yes I have timing advanced. Purring like a kitten. Winter is over in the valley, but the snow is at the 3500 ft. elevation , it did do and few furries yesterday but it didn’t stick. Usally no frost after April 18th.

Nice looking cheery orchard - thats a gold mine of healthy fruit-i would be packing the freezer every year possible. The snow almost sounds good after all the tornato’s tearing through the south and all the way up to IL. Its warming up the 70 f tomaro for one day anyway.

Hey Bob .

If you would have turned the camera to your face I believe I could have made a correct guess :grinning:

Hmmm. To me a woodgassed engine exhaust note sounds softer. Not having a harsh gasoline or diesel individual let out of combustion chamber’s bark.
Of course a lot of differences system to system out at the end of the exhaust pipe too.
Then camera’s systems audio distortions - TONE.

I would have guessed woodgased just because of the old goat presenter trickster, m-a-y-b-e.
But then I did not, did I?
It has taken me decades to learn the bit of patience that I now sometimes do have. Come to think probably my Wifes decades of influences.

Back out into the orchard to work the wood burn truck. Got the truck started up ready to go to haul wood.

Bob, when you asked about woodgas or gasoline I thought to myself what reasons would make me idle for that long. I came up with two - bad battery or woodgas as fuel. You didn’t mention anything about the battery, so gasoline was out of the question. Sorry! Piece of cake, Bob :grin:

Well just as Steve and I finished up with the orchard wood picking up and piling the wood up, you guessed it. It started to rain this was at around 10:00 this morning and it has not stopped.
Time to finish up on the winter old comb out of the dead out bee hive. This honey will get fed back to the bees instead of white sugar. Need to get my swarm nuke hive traps ready for some more of Yehovah’s faral bees that He will be sending me to take care of and get the Layens long hive going again in it new spot behind where I store my chunked wood.
