I was wondering if he was talking about a face cube or a federal cube

Well hopefully we can go to the store tomorrow, that may be limited depending on what the powers that be decided.
On my list for the day, 5 more gallons of extra diesel, another 5 of regular, another 1.6 of ethanol free, bar oil and filling the propane tanks we use for hot water, I like hot water as much as I like toilet paper, but I've never had to choose so maybe I'm wrong about that
.
bought 30# of flour and sugar, yeast baking powder and 10# of canning salt …. this will at least go good for biscuits and bread along with fresh venison and fish when needed.... have a 3 years supply of home grown canned foods an dried goods on a yearly rotational renewal to keep the rest of the green needs happy! hand pump on the well as well as a solar power unit for the electrical needs... hope the sun don't fall out of the sky?!!! lol
Rain ended and the day cleared up nicely,, so I went back for yet another load of wood!!! Blocks keep getting bigger tho!!! Too bad none of you are in the area,,, specially guys with bigger saws, and want to mess with the trunks... They are on top of the bigger stuff, and I'm not gonna whittle at it with a 20"/54cc saws!!! I can get more wood with less effort and fuel with limbs,, and noodling it small enough to lift over the fence would take forever...
now I just need to figure out a way to take all the big round bales of field hay and make it into small rolls of "TP" and become a billionaire……. with a faster growing renewable resource! chiggers an grass mites are free!
That's awesome, imagine if more were in that situation and had no debt and were told to stay put for a few weeks, I think most would be like, okay

You can go,,, just a matter of what's in stock!!!!Well hopefully we can go to the store tomorrow, that may be limited depending on what the powers that be decided.

Its kind of funny. I have all but stopped buying bread and cereal. I make up a dozen bisquits ever day or so. I should cut that in half and do 6 at a time cause fresh out of the oven are so damn good!
Brought up about half a cubecord from under the deck. When I fill the racks in the fall, I try to anticipate the type I'll need for the time of year. I've been struggling with the warm weather and big "February" pieces. Finally into my March-April wood which is smaller and more poplar-willow mixed in.
Snow is melting off my piles and I may get back to splitting soon if it doesn't snow more.

They might be different based on your figures
. About 3.7 cubes per cord. My 4.5ft x 7 ft x 15in trailer holds 1.1 cubes when filled level. Talking in cubes is better since when you've been swinging your guts out you can say "I cut and split 2.5 cubes" which sounds like more than if you say "I cut and split 2/3 cord". BTUs with hairy legs.
I was expecting to find something long and slithery in those logs today but the only thing there was a cute little bush rat who kept trying to run back under the logs as I rolled them around. I thought he'd get squashed but he didn't and I chased him away eventually.

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
A lizard came to check out my resin table top yesterday while I was in-between pours. Only a small native one we call skinks. It fell in, swam and clung to the edge of the timber with its head just above the surface. There it stayed as the resin set. Got quite a shock when I came back to pour again. Couldn't have placed the skink better if I tried.

I got what I wanted lol

Well, it's been a beautiful winter to get out and cash in on what mother nature provides up here in Northern Mi. Hopefully, the snow will be gone in a couple weeks and I can get the splitter back in here and clean this mess up.
See , desperate times here , I'm outta wood , only got a small pile of dirt left
You may have missed my point, you may not be able to

Nice!
Do you use the splitter just to make the logs light enough to load? My mom used to like to help, and she couldn’t help if we didn’t do that. Except for the little bit of small stuff.
Correct you are. A cube is still only a couple sticks away from a facecord, or third cord which is the common measurement in Ontario. No matter the measurements, whether correct or not, I prefer mine without deadly insects, snakes or reptiles!They might be different based on your figures
