16 wheelbarrow loads should be about a cord IIRC?

Done at the cabin. Hour and 5 minutes mowing and about a half hour of trimming. Sure beats 3.5 of trimming alone.
I found the “high spots” that will need some work but overall I’m happy with how smoothly it went.

I had always figured 18 before. I need to go measure and see where I'm at...
Seems I'm only around 2/3 of a cord with a quick count. Might need to revise my estimations. I'll have to do a little more cyphering tomorrow if I get a chance with all the father's day festivities.
Speaking of - happy father's day tomorrow to you dads out there.
Happy Father's Day everyone.
I know my "1/2 cords" are a bit generous, but it usually takes me 9 or 10 VERY heaping wheelbarrow loads to make a 1/2 cord in my trailer.

Delivered this bench to my Daughter today. It is Red Oak, very stout (even though it needed some work) and will live outdoors with it's Spar Urethane coating. Everything is half round (bench + legs) and it has some character!

G'day troops, a busy week. After going over to try to patch up my old man on Friday last week, I ended up bringing him home with me on Monday to monitor the progress. Four hour drive each way with a mountain range in the middle. He had improved a lot so I took him home after work this Friday and drove back to our place this evening, some snow on the road but not too bad. Took a 3/4 Ranger load of peppermint back with Dad and stacked it outside the side door (about 4 metres from the stove) so he and the old lady don't have to go out to the wood stack.
Cowlass came with me again and we headed down to the beach in the sunshine, temp about 18°C. The water was almost flat, no good for salmoning.
We also went for a little drive into the forest about 4km from the township to where the bushfire reached back in January. Eucalypts are well adapted to fires and are making a comeback, they sprout leaves straight out of the trunk after a fire. Wouldn't have wanted the fire much closer to town, mind you.

Well, I may need a place to sleep if I do snag it. It's too hot to sleep in the dog house...
Do they sell AC units at the dealership, maybe they sell custom doghouse.
Able to sneak in #17 this morning.
Found a few more kibbles and bits while stacking so i may be at 3/4 cord after load 18. Looks like i need to pile the wheelbarrow higher or start counting 24-25 for a cord. And then I hear the dinner bell...
Meaning one of my favorite breakfasts is ready - oatmeal bake!
(Sorry, couldn't resist eating before photos.)

Happy Father’s Day to all of you!
I woke up feeling like crap. Too much dust inhalation yesterday from all of the mowing caused a lot of sinus drainage through the night. Went back to bed for a while and feeling decent now.
Strangest thing ever....went out to the outside this morning. Boy it smells fresh in here. Gull darn groundhog had filled in the outhouse hole with dirt from under the building!! WTF!!!!

Not one but two little piggies. They bored a hole sideways into the ground from the original outhouse hole.
Sorry critters, but not going to stop using the outhouse.

Destructive little buggers they are. Got one I'm trying to get that's eating the flowers off the squash plants right as the bloom. The dog would normally take care of that, but she just trumps through the garden if allowed. I'll get the piggy this week, still have thursdays and fridays off.
Good to know they aren't repelled by human scent like deer are. I have one or two that burrow under my wood racks and then the racks start to list.
So I guess peeing down the hole won't do any good.

Only good groundhog
Do you eat them? I think @alleyyooper does.
A couple pics of boss hog that my wife took. Mrs Hog isn’t as photogenic.
The last of the wood cut in 2019. It’s getting hot now so I’ll noodle it in a bit and split this evening.
Actually sitting on my deck waiting for one to show. Saw it this morning. Guns a little overkill but I need 22 ammo
