nice shots, too. ... pun intended... great pix! looks like some nice weather there for you. I liked the wilderness feel of it all...
"ok, the rigging is up! climber?... ok, who's our Climber of The Day, today?" lol
no FB here!
did anybody happen to see the ABC special with Diane Sawyer week or so back? called Screen Time. all about modern society, cell fones, apps, FB, Tweeter, etc... and who is who and what is what and they tried to do why is why! a hypothesis is that all the products are not the game... all of the screen users are! digital addictions was a topic discussed at length, too. 
nope, no smart fone, nor FB here!
definitely interesting. I see some amazing posts here...

it does that. a good day of splitting oak for me and filling the driveway area I split in... permeates all day, and the couple more. only thing I like better is burning it. burned some of my 20 year old oak stix this afternoon, after tending to the campfire all afternoon... but I am sure there are many woods that give off a great aroma once split and their moistures soak out and into the air. i'd like to be around a big split of cherry, for example.
I just moved some of my larger equipment in shop... welder, table saw etc to front for easier access... and made a List of all the items, boxes I swapped out the space for... cause am not sure just where everything is! lol
bought a nice $9 cap bill light at the Stihl shop few months back... put it away so would be ez to get for close up bench work...
sill looking for it! lol
when I am splitting wood, I keep several sprays, solutions on side of work area. you know, the black skull n bones type. every once in a while I open a nest of... and am glad its all there to use. I relocate them dead in their trax!
I agree with you woodchipR! and you can be sure I am not too fond of today's fuel cans neither!
Not for burning , fence posts and cedar lumber .
Spouse I'd use the slab for kindling and planking trout or salmon
I use a lot of cedar. well, relatively speaking. I have some kitchenwood, but don't burn chunks. burns quite hot! but I do have a lot of cedar boards I cut up for kindling. makes the best kindling. and the kitchenwood is to jump start a cold fire. works like a charm. and my FM frontage on my place is all cedar posts. never thought about doing salmon on it. I do like salmon being from the Pac NW... but I usually just poach it. my preferred way. but all salmon is tops with me. smoked for sure...
ditto! I posted on another thread today... I don't do light, if its lite beer, i'd rather drink water!
fact!
I bought some NP oil once. No Petroleum oil... bot some recycled oil. thot mite save for a tune up. took one look at that stuff... water at best!! capped it all up and returned it to store. then bought Pennzoil. my 'go to' oil for 4-cycles big n small.

Cut Split Stack Burn
Not me Steve, my oldest sister is getting remarried tomorrow, this time to a good guy, I’m entertaining all the young men while all the ladies do the hair and nails thing. I should have around 7 fellas fishing today....
SVK. have not heard from your friend in quite a while, and Matt Jr is watching my Grandkids for a few days, so no. It is on the far East side of CT, and he is near the PA border. Would be about hrs for him. I gotta run!
G'day fellas, bonfire night tonight. Yesterday I went and cut just over a cube to be raffled on the night. Found a nice dry standing peppermint which promptly fell over.
Used the MMWS 241 for everything from the fork up and Limby for the lower trunk which was about 20 inches at the base.
Beautiful weather for scrounging.
