Yeah, I'll stick it out a little bit, misting or light rain, but it's it's pouring rain, I'm done. Good thing I didn't move to Oregon when I met my wife. She lived there, and I lived in Wisconsin. She wanted out, and was already a Packer fan. So it was easy... Nice work B.Brown !! That's a good load!
13 time world champion Green Bay Packers. While I never mentioned him, Tom Brady is the guy that may or may not be the quarterback for that Massachusetts team next season.
damm, try to make funny and some guy corrects. Can't win . Yes I know, just making light of team fanatics. I blew it. Hey what's a LIV without the Patriots ? It's all 'cause Gronk left. Brady will play until Medicare.....bet on it.
OK, OK. I am biased. Bet your first born that Brady will not leave his HOME. $$$$$. What would my classmate owner do without #12 ? Leave Brookline, Mass ?!? And Msr. Belichick ?
Lol Long story, but funny. A lot of us here used that term for a fire that's nice and hot. Some guy on YouTube started it, and it's kind of funny.
It seams like night time is about the only time I can get anything done. I had to put some LED lights in my splitting shed just to get some wood busted. But I would not trade it for the world. It’s good for the mind.
Temperature hit 101* today and I’ve had a load from my “heap of hackberry” score in the pickup for a week. Needed to get it unloaded and I wasn’t about to unload then handle it again to split and stack it. So I waited until dark and fired up 3 Colemans then the splitter. Weather app on my phone said the temperature was 88 at the time I took the pictures. Didn’t feel bad at all, had a good breeze. You could almost feel steam coming out of the splits. They been sitting in full sun and 90+ degrees for the last week. Easy to understand why wood (especially hackberry and cottonwood) can start getting rotten in a short time if left unspilt. PRO TIP: try to keep the lanterns a fair distance from your work, they tend to draw bugs in the warmer weather
Thanks for the compliment on the stacks. Less than 2 years ago you would have been hard pressed to find more than a 1/2 pickup load of split wood at my place. See what this place will do to ya!!
Tell me about it! Aint it great though! Hoard on my friend! Hoard on! Years back when i owned a house i would love the first really cold Winter days in December. Frozen ground with no snow cover. Being that the sun set early i would rig up a couple gooseneck DeWalt flashlight to my ladder racks and split/stack in the dark. Air was so crisp. Not a lot of days like that here.
Back at it now that we have cool weather. The last three nights I have worked on wood for around 30 minutes each night when the kids go to bed. I hope to hit it hard this weekend during the day!
I had some big silver maple rounds that I needed to process and my 13 year old granddaughter was available to help on Sunday. So I put her in the skid steer feeding the rounds to the splitter. We only broke them down to pieces of a manageable size. After she left I split and stacked a little over half of it. While taking a rest and admiring my efforts I realized I’ve been kinda jonesing to do some winter night time splitting by Coleman lantern light. So I finished up with the maple tonight.
