    Money well spent sir! You'll love it. You've been hand splitting how long? Even at your young age, a splitter will help immensely. I started using a splitter at about 18.

    I've been swinging a maul on and off for about 12 years now. Lately a lot of old injuries have been coming back to haunt me which really got me thinking, I don't want to be barely hobbling around when I'm in my 50s. Or end up on that pain management merry go round. I figured it was well worth the upfront cost.

    At my previous house my Ex would rent a splitter for a weekend and do our and our neighbors wood at the same time, if you process your own wood, it makes sense to either rent or buy and NOT do it manually.

    Capital punishment
    By Pastor Mark Jeske

    The practice of capital punishment has a long and intense debate over it that has lasted for centuries. There are powerful arguments both for it and against it. Nineteen states do not allow it, and thirty-one states do, as well as the federal government and military. Because of the finality of this procedure, that intense debate will continue forever.

    Christians of good will can make a good case for either retaining or outlawing the procedure, and neither is right or wrong. It is a judgment call as to whether you think capital punishment is appropriate for heinous crimes like mass murder, as well as a necessary deterrent, or whether you think any kind of judicial execution is murder, especially because it has been proven that juries are sometimes wrong.

    You cannot say that capital punishment is against God’s will. St. Paul wrote on how God entrusts governments with keeping order in a chaotic and violent world. In his view sometimes violence is needed to suppress and restrain violence: “The one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer” (Romans 13:4). Here are two things of which you can be sure: the debate over punishment appropriate for the worst of crimes will continue indefinitely. So will extremely violent crime.

    Only in heaven will that argument cease

    Nothing like a relaxing fire to sit by. My family and I did this a couple times over the last week. Just siting around talking. Great times.

    Beautiful weather here. We are going to make our way to a State Park on the St. Lawrence River for part of the day. Walk some trails through the woods for a while, throw a frisbee, swim at the beach, and just relax. It’s great to have my oldest daughter home. My first Grandson is starting to show. :)

    No. Not always in groups. Many times you will see singles.

    Congratulations. You will enjoy it. We got the 30 ton fsat cycle TSC brand in '18. Only problems we had was the hoses needed to be tightened up and the valve detents messed up. Called customer service, they sent us a new valve, no questions asked.
