i think the wheelbarrow pix are the best!
next time i am splitting i am going to remind myself... "self! ~ just remember, you are not splitting wood in the snow!"
I'd do that, just need a tank holder and a spout and I still be ahead of the game after a yr.
looking good!
it was in the 30's last nite here. i went out to get some firewood. i already had the kindling in, paper in the fireplace. i was more so dressed for summer months! brr! the wind said it all. cold, crisp and edgy! next load i had on sweats, T and a coat. much more comfortable...
i like the heat off the fireplace. warm and cozy. i tested it recently
in this test measurement it went to 105f
if one could even get it today. plenty shortages all over and abouts. here is some CVS shelves in CA not too far from San Diego just the other day...
clean stack of wood, no doubt!
hope it goes well for you guys! mobility is the issue... i was thinking about the rehab. i still got both of my natural ones... but i have heard it can be long and painful to get back into 'football goal kicking' condition...
Just add a few ounces of Seafoam prior to your next oil change , safely reduces carbon deposits . Your right with today's synthetic oils & filters & proper change intervals carbon fouling is really a think of the past !
hi chipper - sounds like your mom is a fast healer...
Ice / heat & rest . Knee braces help considerably . Have had both hips done . One knee bad , but waiting till they carry me off before I will get it done . Find a good orthopedic surgeon , that's the key for optimal results . Be patient wait times are usually a half yr or longer . Unless you fall in the emerg. room & do the floppy fish !I usually separate stacks by species, but I have so much and so many different kinds that it's mostly mixed by hardwood/softwood. Of course the locust will make it to the locust stack.
Knee is sore today but not as bad as I was expecting. I'll be calling this week to see if I can even get on the schedule for a knee replacement though - probably not a good time to be needing it.
me, too. oak is oak!!! lolI don't worry about separating it much as I'll just grab what I need as I need it. Tonight I ran out and grabbed an armful of small rounds, nothing over 3", they work great to fill in the top of the larger splits and they burn hot. By the time I shut my stove down after refilling it the top inside was glowing a bit, the temp gauge wasn't even up to 500 yet.
Not a good time, but because of that many places have noone in there getting anything done. Who knows, maybe you can get in in the next 4-6 weeks and be back up and running before spring. If you need a hand cutting and splitting I'd be happy to get some guys together and help, but you'll need to get the kids to stack.
Looks like since you can't get in trouble stealing 900$ or less people are taking advantage of the opportunity. Who needs a 5 finger discount when you can get a 5 cart discount
i thot of SS the other day. recently our area had 6 tornadoes roll thru and N of town got tore up some of the area's residences pretty bad! in one shot of a busted up garage... was a 1967 Chevelle. Marina Blue with black vinyl top... not sure if it was an SS... panned too quickly. had a limb across its top from the tree that turned the garage into kindling...
i have a Brooks on one of my bikes. and as such, having lived in UK... got on their mailing list. they often have biker stories of long distance traveling... all the camping stuff and saddle bags, too. some front n rear...
packed for the road's route...
Regarding cost of oil…I haven’t looked for but also haven’t seen ads for bar oil in over a year.
I do most of my own oil changes and buy the store brand oil from Walmart. The price of motor oil has gone up a lot in the past 24 months so I’m guessing the days of super cheap bar oil are all but over until a new regime comes in and does something to get oil prices stabilized.

my bike riding is all about perseverance, too! not distance - me!
lol.... i ride in lieu of jogging. was a lifer, of sorts. 13 miles is the farthest i ever ran at one time. several times. taking it ez on my bod of late. got into biking as an adult bit by chance. worked for me. i had a 10-speed english racer as a kid over in the UK. i go 5 to simulate a 3 mile run. then i read more so takes 2-3 bike miles to = one foot mile. so i up't it to 6. maybe i should go 9. sometimes i do. but my new normal is 6. despite the heavy winds yesterday it was 6. i have a speedo center on it... works good.fastest i have gone is 18 i think it was. wind to my back. warm weather. other day i got into it. 15 was my max. no winds. yesterday, even bundled up i thot... wth - and did a bit of a sprint using the winds from one area of my route very windy. hit 13 by first curve
and then up to 16..17.. 18... 18 and some change. that was it. but i had not hit the 2nd section (1/4 mile) and it sloped down. mite have hit 20... but i was done. lol......
