You are very fortunate to have 3 Golden Retrievers. We had one and she died very young from cancer. We found out that the North American Goldens have a very high cancer rate. We now have an English Cream Golden Retriever and he is doing fine. He is going on ten years old. Goldens are some of the most gentle dogs one could have. I have to smile every time I see those three on your video.

All the years I’ve been watching this will be the largest firewood production so far. What do you know that we don’t Mike? It’s like watching a squirrel who knows a bad winter is coming. LOL..

Love the “paying” it forward with the clothing and shoes. There is always someone that is in need.

Hi Morgan family, Ya know seeing Piper still acting like a pup made me smile. You can see she is getting a little white faced (much like me at 68 😊) and its tough to watch our family members growing old. You just keep loving all 3 and maybe give Piper a little extra belly rub from me. Dogs just make your day better, don't they?😊

That was great seeing Piper, Archie and Axle having a great time! Piper knew how to find a cool spot to rest!

So thankful you made it home safely after yesterday's tragic assassination attempt. May God continue to bless you and your family. Looks like Eva did a nice job sealing the ends of the saw logs. Have a blessed day and thank you for sharing your life with us.

I love the little interludes with the dogs. They're obviously happy, and make me laugh. Maybe someday they can meet my 4 if we're ever up that way.

I thought the CD would be the last form of media. But I will say it’s nice to be able to keep a lot of music in one place.

I wish Melissa could come help me clean out 44 years of accumulating stuff. God Bless

Beautiful that your repurposing and sharing the items you are getting rid of or giving away. God Bless you, for being so kind and giving.

Nothing is scarier than a *click* when you're supposed to hear a *bang* or a *bang* when you're supposed to hear a *click*😁

Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Fabulous and Blessed Day 🤠

370k!! Congratulations Morgans

Recently cleaned out my in-laws house and had a garage sale. We estimated they had about 1800 DVDs and Blu-rays. We made close to $1000 on them. Still can't believe it.

Mike, I really like how things are working out for you, your wood processing, and the entire family! Keep up the great work.

Your DET CORD comment brought to mind a UH-1D, "HUEY" load of Army Combat Engineers I had rappel about 125 ft into a tree covered space on the side of a mountain in Vietnam back in 1966. Four of them had large roles of DET CORD over their shoulder, chainsaws and fuel, along with their combat gear. Their mission was to make a Landing Zone (LZ) on the side of the mountain so we could extract a Recon Team. Forty five minutes later I was back there to see logs stacked up for a landing pad of about 60X60! Most of the trees were imploded by wraps of DET CORD; in a crosshatch pattern. Pulled out the Engineers first and then two more ships flew in to extract the "Pony Team/Recon" troops. Saw a lot of that cord used for many other "hover holes" we flew into. Combat Engineers were fantastic!!

Those Goldens are adorable and full of energy-at least two of them. Piper earned his rocker.

Hello Mike & Hunter. FYI your Firewood Bucket, if you want using "EXPANDED WIRE," (hole-diameter depends on what makes you feel warm & Fuzzy,) for sake of argument 1" in. dia. holes, just have one cut to the dimensions of the bottom of the bucket. To hold the piece to the bucket, in the front use say a 3/16" in. thick (min.) flat bar (2-3" in. min. wide) full length of the bucket. Place flat bar on top of the "EXPANDED WIRE," at the front as much as possible, drill 3 (three) holes {3/8" in. dia. min. for bolts & nuts} in the flat bar. One hole approx. each end and one hole approx. dead center (depending on location of bucket teeth.) I would recommend that the drilled holes fall center approx. between bucket teeth, then cut 3 (three) pieces of the same flat bar long enough to act as a washer to overlap the full width of the bucket teeth, on the underside of the bucket. Now that you made a Custom "EXPANDED WIRE," Bucket retaining tool, you just change the "EXPANDED WIRE," to a diameter that meets your needs. Bob's your uncle. FYI: "EXPANDED WIRE," comes in many different diameters.

Great story about the " thingy" !! And, I have never seen one of those detonators before . Another great start to my morning. Thank you!

Mike, wedges are a great idea. Don’t want any of those big logs rolling off and hurting anyone, especially the kids.

Yes officer, a "thingy" is a technical term we use...LOL!

Good morning Morgan’s! Have a day!!

Sun’s up in the swamp. “Swamp” a place that even out water low, cleans water, and stores water for others to share, plus provides homes for many species of life.

The dirt pile. Dirt sitting in the woods for time immoral. But wait, you made a road. You saved top soil. You have the equipment to sift/clean it effortlessly. The dogs came out, and loved playing and resting on the sifted, fresh soil. Then that dirt that was destined for eternity in the woods is now a part of the homes beauty. So simple, but made a nice video. I sat and enjoyed the entire video that was fresh and wholesome and just good for my heart. Stacking the measured saw logs, beautiful!! Love the red seal. I don't mind the Simply Safe promotion either. I use Blink. Much cheaper, but serves my need. I think everyone needs that security these days. I know you're surrounded by family and friends, but still, I'd like to see Melissa carrying protection when out by herself in the woods. I'm sitting here sipping coffee w plans to go nowhere, but my EDC is on me regardless. When i get dressed it goes on same as my wallet and keys and pocket knife. It will be laid on the night stand when i change into pj's tonight. Habit. Always. Mike, do the numbers; youtubers in Pennsylvania and other states interview street durg users. Asked how much their addiction cost per day, they all say $150. These homeless, unemployed, addicts, get $150 a day for drugs. On one street, say Kensington, there's 500, 600 addicts visible from your car. Where are 600 people, strung out on fentanyl, robbing people, businesses or homes of $150 per day??? Talk about a crime epidemic!!! But, there's no crime epidemic. So who's giving these addicts $150 every day?? No one. But they are getting their fentenyl (i don't know the spelling). That drug is made in China and shipped here and not sold, but given to Americans as an act of war by China!!! Do the math!!! If i had to spend $150 a day...... Thanks Mike for today's video.👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲

Good morning Mike. A great (and in my experience better) alternative to anchor seal is buying gallon jugs of Elmer’s glue and mix 50/50 with water. I do that for logs that I’ll eventually make into bowls. Anchor seal gets pricey in volume and latex paint is definitely not very affective. Paint is better than nothing, but lets the moisture escape too fast. Have a great day.

Love the dogs. so much energy

Laying on the cool soil! Every dog's dream! So cute!

Enjoy watching you guys. Just regular people

I haven't been on a blasting job in a couple years but I loved working with the blasters !!! The last job was 125 acres all ledge and blasted 2x a day 6 days a week for a while . Seem both methods used and I prefer the 209 primer over the electric .we had to shut everything down and disconnect the battery master switch on all the equipment and crushers with remote controls because they were fearful the radio frequency could cross and you press a button to turn on the crusher and it could set off the charge .

Good morning Mike and OWTM community.... hope we all have a great weekend! It's off to a good start with a hot cup of coffee and Mike's video. Steve in Calgary

Look out Mike. 1 wrong statement and you will be at the end of the driveway 😂😂😂

King of the mountain. Love the pups. They liked that fresh cool dirt.

Firewood bucket worked great; maybe try a piece of chicken wire or a piece of screen in there to catch even more of the rocks, etc. Love ethe channel, love your videos.

we have done the save thing to get ride of unwanted items , even used tires with some tread

Good morning Morgans'. Hope you have a blessed day. I love how dogs always love to play in fresh dirt. It's cool to them I guess. I was thinking when you were showing us the detonator, you should make a display case for all you blasting equipment as a reminder of days past. It would look good in the building where you have the car tags.

Your road turned out really nice

Thank you Mike for the blaster story. Like Civil War talk, I for one would really enjoy some blaster stories or information. It's a subject foriegn to 99.99999% of us. Build, build, build Mike! Love it. Oh, and here in north west upper Michigan, lower penninsula, we have black bears. Lots of them. Our deer population is huge. Our DNR, (Do Nothoing Right) is making new plans. Of course they're never at fault.

I could watch your dogs for an hour. They are perfect. Piper kinda struggles to keep up now. A great pack with Melissa the leader.

Rocks in soil help keep and get air into the soil for plants and grass. Often rocks are added. Love the dogs. We miss ours but we had two long livers and now we can't have one to bump us in the house or yard. Broken legs/hips are a concern at our age.

That splitfire ex splitter attachment would be amazing if it had a forester bar on it to also buck the log before the split.

Years ago in the USMC We used det cord to drop big trees down that got in the way...very effective...I believe it was made with 💣 pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) faster than electricity, seemed like effect was instantaneous 😂 Brings back the boom memories from the past 👍 🎵Don't mess around with a demolition man.🎶 -The Police 👍🤣✌

I don't know how you keep the yards nice and neat. Great job, always beautiful.

I live in Waynesburg and I am also a blaster. I have never used one of those starters but I have used a mushroom starter to initiate with shock tube but normally we use electric and I know what you mean about the feeling you get when a shot doesn't go off.

Good Saturday Morning Mike, hope you are enjoying your weekend... enjoy... Pete 🇨🇦

Warms the heart hearing about the free stuff. I do that at times. I put a sign by the road “free or best offer” they stop and look.. pick the item up… look at the house… read the sign again. And away they go with it. ❤

A day in the life. Random summers day. Love your videos Morgan's.

I may even jump in attic today. Thanks for the push I needed. 👍

GOOD MORNING MORGANS!!!

Totally agree paint with anything it helps to keep checking in check ✔️✅😊

Hello! 😊 Back in 1970 I worked with a blaster in Youngstown, Ohio. We were working on the 680 bypass setting foundations for the bridges. I would get mad at him when he didn't put enough Dynamite in the holes because it made it more difficult for me to dig out the fractured rock. He said it was due to the Dynamite being wet. I took my anger out on the stubborn rock.

Lmao at Melissa's ending statement.. Y'all have a great weekend. 😂

Good morning the Morgan Family.I enjoyed your video.Have a good weekend.Thank you for all your videos.🙏❤️🇺🇸

Great video Mike. It was really nice seeing Melissa and all the dogs today. They sure like that fluffed topsoil. 👍❤️

Good morning, Morgan's. Someone did a nice job on those log ends.

Melissa.. you make us smile!

So many people in need, that’s great you are doing that. Are you sure it wasn’t Eva bringing them back in the house, lol

I love to watch non-el go off in the snow; especially if it’s really overcast!! We had the mushroom starter.

Proud Waynesburg College graduate here. Love Greene County.

Hi Hunter and everyone else!

The other day I was looking for alternatives to anchorseal. That stuff is a bit pricey. I came across something called glue size. It’s a 2:1 ratio of water to old glue. Paint on end let it set for a minute then paint again. Apparently a lot of wood workers do this they say it works better than paint. Will be giving it a try.

Morning Morgan clan from East Texas

@Mike you can use LogSavers on logs that are splitting to save them. (Note : Will not damage saw blades or veneer knives ) Many loggers use S-Irons as well, because they are much faster than painting. Depending on what time of year it is, The logs will try to split RIGHT! away. We can put them in faster than you can open a can of paint and they work great out in the bush in the dirt and rain. BTW, Nothing wrong with paint. I just like to send them to the mill unsplit or no more split than they have to be.

Thanks for the video. Any day with the dogs is a great day.

Morning outdoors fam👋👋

Good morning/evening Morgans, a saving is still a saving, no matter how much it costs! lol 🇦🇺.

Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. Eva did a good job on sealing those saw logs. There was a commercial in the middle of your simplisafe ad. Have another productive day.

Good morning everyone

Neatest woodyard in PA coming ( plus attic and garage )

you need a bucking table like "one eye customs" it would increase your efficiency

You sure have your hands full with those three dogs Mike.soil looks good.🌺🌺

Crazy pups so darn cute 🥰

hi there good story and neat tool to go with it . best to all john

Eva did a good job of sealing the ends up

Mike, if I remember correctly, you got your seed from Ernst in Meadville. My experience with their seed was very good first year germination rates with moderate growth and more aggressive growth in the second year and beyond, depending on weather conditions.

Good morning Mike. I have loaded shot shells for years for trap shooting. My 2 boys , daughter and myself would go every Saturday afternoon to the club and for 2-3 hours and loved it. I used a lot of those thingy’s over the years lol

Good morning Mike, I was just thinking, what if you got a temporary screen that you could clip onto the bottom of the firewood bucket to capture more roots etc. resulting in a cleaner top soil for your uses. Have a wonderful weekend. 😊👍👍👍

Awesome video yall! Thank you for sharing!😊

Thanks for the Video Morgan's have a lot going on! Awesome because more videos! I hope! Keep Smiling On!! 😅👍👊❤️

Ha! Loved that Goldie-fest in the dirt pile : )

Good morning Mike and Melissa, enjoyed your story lol. I agree, sometimes it is easier to put stuff out and continue to work on the task.

Loved your moving question!!!👍👍👍

When i wirk in the heat i wear my reversible welding hats!!! You can spin them as they soak up the sweat!! And are washable cotton.

A couple of ideas for your crop issues, Deer whistlers mounted on poles might keepthe deer out, and for the waterbissue, how about using a solar still to generate water for the area?

cleaning out the house in preparation for the new place that will be built in the clearing

Looking good getting it organized like how it's looking can't wait for the concrete to start also love seeing the dogs playing lol 😊

I was a safety training and compliance person for a drilling and blasting company in Las Vegas, Nevada. I still do MSHA new minor and annual training as a contractor. I like the name "dinomike". Thank you for your clean entertaining video posts.

Mike: "Are we moving?" Melissa: We?

Haven't seen one of the Ideal triggers since 1978, funny I looked them up and they are still available 144.00. We have been storing my Daughters "Stuff: for about 10 years now still hasn't come to pick it up. Oh well maybe one day... Love the Dogs having fun, fresh dirt to play in too! Can't blame you for not putting the rocks back, grow grass cut when needed, Ya'll have a wonder and blessed weekend. Cheers!

Best thing ever. Watch Mike videos at two times speed. Sounds like he’s from Jersey lol. Toooooo funny

Enjoyed the thingie story

Mike is that a birds nest on your right side up on gutter behind you on Patio where you were sitting?

I love putting stuff that I am getting rid of out on the side road to allow others to get use of it rather than just sending to the landfill. If someone else can use it, we all win. They get it free, and I don't have to pay to get rid of and it stays out of the landfill a while longer.

Mike Tell Melissa dont throw out the housewares because y'all can use the stuff she's gonna throw out at the cabin! Or otherwise she'll be spending money on all new stuff for the cabin 😂🤣🤣

In a heat advisory starting at 1pm today through 8pm Monday

80-90 isn't hot Mike, try 110 degrees and doing Power Line work. 😅 love every bit of it. Rewarding. Love your videos

GOOOOOOOOD EVENING EVERYONE!!!…I know I’m Late checkin in & watching . got back from Las Vegas & had to drive up to Mass for a funeral 😢…Bonus is I stopped in CT to visit with my Son & Daughter in law on my way….Mike and Melissa thanks for the video. Gotta love awesome dogs ❤️🐾🐾❤️ Thanks as always for sharing Have a day HELLOOOO HUNTER 😊

Good morning Morgans and friends.

Good morning Hunter 👋👋😸 and family and friends , Happy Caturday everyone 😸😺

My dad was a blaster in wv for right at 40 years and at one time, if you was a blaster in southern wv, chances are pretty good that my dad was who taught you or you at least worked along side him at some point. That non-el blaster was a common tool in his chest over the years.

You could sift with the skid steer and have Levi on the mini skid moving the top soil and really go through it.
