That's like saying apples are the same as oranges. o_O

I tried to ignore these kinds of questions the first time around, but here's an honest answer: twice as fast is about my average also...the first day...yes, the whole day the second day I'm about 1.75 times as fast...tapering off to 1.5 times as fast by the end of the day the third day I feel...

I think I'm 36...close enough anyway...started splitting when I was 10...or was it 6? so...using common core math 10 - 36 - 6 = I've been splitting for -32 yrs...seems legit.

Oh come on WS...humor...HUMOR! You have a very efficient process that works well for you...and very straight firewood stacks in your yard too. We can measure "faster" any-number-of-which-ways...I plan to measure it the way that makes me look the awesomest?...most awesomer?...awesomerist...

looky here. this is the sixth page of my cool little tractor thread, and so far, there ain't one blame pic...just ya'll grunting at each other. pics.

as an engineer, this guy is my hero... Dad tried to teach me how to repair according to spec...he is a radial engine aircraft mechanic. I caught the "improve it" bug instead. Then I spent several years hanging out with old farm hands and shade tree mechanincs...do it 3 times the short way...

grandpa used to do that...stihl 041...worked well

no worries spottydogXC...I do it too.

is your camera playing peek-a-boo with the tree? hope the bar is ok!
