    What better way to stay away from people than cutting firewood.
    Got this load two weeks ago

    Thought today was a good day to start on it. Got out the 357xp and began. IMG_20200322_104822847.jpg
    Got a good start on it. Then stopped for lunch. Sometimes it is hard to get back at it after I stop, This is one of those times. IMG_20200322_123021976.jpg

    Pace yourself, you don't want to run out of work!

    I was out splitting yesterday as my log guy drove by, he said it looks like you need more logs, he’ll yes. There are rumors floating around the state I work in will be shutting down shortly.

    Thanks I tell myself being split in a big pile is better than being in log form...

    I told the kid that dirt was a natural hand sanitizer while we dug holes for posts for a fence that the others half's sister is building... He was less than thrilled to hear that... :D... In fact I think I saw the eye roll going on... :rofl: :lol:

    My state is shutdown at the moment but tree services are listed under essential so they are still in business for now. Hoping to get more loads from my tree guy as well before this all gets worse

    im surprised they would consider them essential. Of course who knows what criteria they used.
    Oh well when life hands you lemons you make lemonade or in your case, firewood.

    Distractions like mud season! I got the time now that schools out, but we got mud everywhere! I got some trees at my latest scrounge ready to drop and buck, but we’re in mud season for at least 2 more weeks!
