I'm gonna have to go get a job, you guys gonna kill me! Hundred year old ax, 62 year old fat guy, one little Gum tree. Took first swing at 12:05, tree was on ground at 12:10, had massive cramp in right shoulder, bicep and rib cage. Knocked the 5-6 little limbs and top off at 12:12. Started at little end and bucked 16 pieces of fire wood, finished at 12:32. Had to use a short half swing because of cramp. Gonna have to touch up ax because I chopped through a couple times. I don't let Gum near my stove, but I might burn this pile out of spite. Good thing you didn't specify 20" min, I'd be there till I collapsed. I was soaked through as it was. If I slipped and fell down, by the time someone got home and came looking for me, they'd have to take a pick ax and chip me off the ground. I thought about bucking 36" Oak logs with a crosscut for the exercise, you knocked that idea right out of my head, Joe.
