I've been a bad scrounger and haven't cleaned the chimney in two years. This is what came out of it. A small coffee cup of powdery soot. Season well, burn properly!

Feeling like Thor out here with my elixir.

2 loads this weekend, first is all highly valuable black walnut, second is mystery wood, white oak, cherry, ash, black locust, and sasafras. Would have had more white oak in the mix but I got stung on the butt so I'll wait until it's cold and the wasps become pedestrians before I collect the rest of it that is sitting on their nest.
It’s like salty Gatorade. I usually get a headache when I work. No headaches at all this weekend.
Electrolytes are important. I often mix a concoction of OJ, Cranberry (or Cran/Grape) and water. Taste good and works for me.
Potassium and Zinc are very important, just make sure you also include plenty of water or you will have other problems.

Here's the yield from the 2 oak branches yesterday. Tried splitting with the axe which was ok. If everything I cut was as straight grained as this I'd do it more often. Left a lot of em whole that I woulda broke in half normally just to dry faster. This all went on next year's stack so it wasn't an issue.
I've been using Electrolyte beverages for the last couple of years , I cut my Gatorade tyme stuff with 50% water .

Someone told me this past week (who works construction) that magnesium is also important and will keep from getting leg cramps. She got an OTC calcium supplement with magnesium for that reason...
I always thought it was just potassium?

We only dropped 1 new tree today , that little not spruce , I think it had dingle balls in top .
Had to pull him over with the tractor because of the wind .
One of the dingle ball trees was in a hard spot to pull up the hill at 16' so I cut it in half
That **** stank , just rooster tail of black goo and slugs Lol

Another 3/8 of a load tonight. Box elder... meh. But it's enough for a several days in shoulder season. And it's from a guy I work with that lives a couple miles away so I figure I should help him out by taking it off his hands.
