Good thing you have something to blame it on. Hate to think it could have been your attending some Dead concerts

Some people develop allergies to epoxy - both the resins, and any sanding dust.

The old stuff was bad . The fiberglass epoxy is still bad .
There was a couple good dirt bike crashes in there too, where I really hit my head! It's all a blur, man! HahaGood thing you have something to blame it on. Hate to think it could have been your attending some Dead concerts

First clean up of the day. Blocking my way to the store. People look at me odd when I leave the house with a saw on days like this. But the older lady was glad to see someone stop and cut it out of the road before it caused an accident.

Got this from my brother-in-law's place. It's what I cut over the last couple of weekends. He has a friend who took the rest which was most of the maple and locust, with a seasoning of oak limbs.
What I got is mostly oak. His friend has a small dump truck (landscaper), single axle dual tire... you know the type. This is a total of 3 loads. What do you guys think, 3-4 cords?
... and here is my little guy learning the value of a hydraulic log splitter. It's not work for him because he doesn't NEED to do it, so he has fun. BUT, come heating season, he also understands the work that goes into making the tree into firewood and he is proud to have been a part of that.

I cut what was probably another truck load, but I don't have room for it, so I told him to take it. That pile was about 50/50 Maple and Locust.
Either way... warm winters ahead.

You can't complain about that!
My rick is almost full again. Last winter, surprisingly, we only burned about two cords or so. And, that's with the wood stove being our only heat source. My rick holds 8-9 cords, depending on how long my chunks are.
I plan to add another bay this year if possible, and then I want to fill it up. Might split a few more cord to sell... to support my saw habit... LOL!
Nice community service work! Look at those snags in the background too, they must have had a fly by night tree service do the falling then bailed before the heavy work started!
Steady as she goes - 2 more on the wood piles. 1 highly valuable black walnut and 1 oddball mix. The good, easy to get ash is about done. More deeper in the woods and a nice snag close to where I've been cutting. Now I'm down to nibbling away at a few tops that still have some solid wood before I decide what to tackle next.
Had a good workout today. Wagon wheel broke off on the first wagon full. Carried all these heavy oaks by hand[emoji23]. Had to save the big pieces that I noodled yesterday for when I get a new wheel.
Wish me luck about to take over 9000 pounds through soft spot[emoji51][emoji51]

My friend. He had the other guy blocked in, and when the other guy started talking trash, my co worker called in the law. He showed the cop the print out he found on line. The cop used that as his guide to follow. I don't know if it was true and lawful, but it gave the cop an easy out.
Nice little saw but you'll get more done with the 261 .
Nice backfire for the state worker. If he kept his mouth shut, he probably could have been okay. Ha ha!
