Man, this winter sucks. It started back in October, here in Taxachusetts-
with heavy snow - then after Christmas the temperature has been at or below
zero most of the time- with frequent flurries. Now we had a blizzard last
night. Not getting much work done this winter! Oh, yuh, I can just envision
a very, very, very muddy spring season- which will shut the loggers down for
several weeks. Right now I have 2 log jobs going on and on both the loggers
are coming to a stop because the snow is too deep. And, they're having
trouble getting their machines to start on the very cold mornings.

Maybe I should have stayed in accounting. G

I always hear this is what causes the annual spikes in lumber prices
until July.

You mean they shut them off? Just idle them down for the night and let
them run.

Hmmm..... Well, Larry- first time I agree with you. G I dunno, I'm not a
logger- but what you say makes sense. Perhaps they're concerned about
somebody stealing the machine if they leave it running- but that does make a
lot of sense. Of course if you quit work at 5 PM and don't get back until 7
AM- that's leaving the machine running for 14 hours. Then again, you can
just jump in and get to work. I'll mention this to loggers in my area and
see what they say about this brilliant idea. G
