    Got 5 cords out today even though half of the day was spent at my son’s football game. Was warm but very dry. Trying to move 12-13 cords tomorrow.

    Got 14 cords out today. Was moving along well until the last 2 cord load. It was upper 80’s and I was dragging. Took me around 45 minutes. I also dropped off 2 cords this week putting me at 36.5 cords delivered since last Saturday. Had my nephew helping again today. He was running half cord loads in my pickup while I did 1 and 2 cord loads in my dump truck. Beer tastes delicious right about now!

    you can probably heat your place all Winter with just the wood crumbs & shards! What is your goal for next Summer?

    Looks like you're making great progress. Still feels like summer time, don't it?
    Hit 100° today @ 12:15PM down here.

    It's still too damm hot to be moving wood like this. Most days are in the 80's. Tomorrow will be 93.

    Edit to 49...I just remembered I had delivered 4 cords to 2 different customers but didn't mark it down yet because their orders aren't complete yet so I'm at 57 cords out.
    Judging from how much is left, I will easily hit the 150 mark.
    As far as goals next summer....don't do this much wood again!

    Good deal. We have sold a dump trailer and 2 pick up loads of cooking wood. Oak, hickory, pecan and cherry so far.

    Today was the first weekend I delivered where it wasn’t at least in the 80’s. It was 40 to start and barely cracked 60. Man did it feel good! Still worked up a sweat in shorts and a t shirt. I got 11.5 cords out and am now up to 68.5. I have just over 40 on order. Taking my 8yo to his first Eagles game tomorrow so no wooding for me.

    I am up to 87.5 cords delivered in the last 5 weekends which puts me a little behind my 15 cords a weekend goal but the main goal of 150 cords total should definitely be reached. I have 35 cords still on order. Hoping the dry weekends continue.

    Only got 9 cords out this weekend. My kids had games yesterday plus the wife and I planned an early date night which started at 4 yesterday. Today rain moved in much earlier than originally forecasted. Was hoping to go over 100 cords but that will have to wait till next weekend . We did have frost yesterday and the lake was throwing off plenty of heat

    That is a metric chit-ton of wood. Very impressive!
