    Have fun, I always enjoy splitting and stacking. There is something about seeing immediate progress/accomplishment when working like that.

    Sure pretty looking wood.
    Dennis & I are sold on almost all splitting vertical. Just easier & faster (in our opinion) :)
    No lifting.

    When off load my PU , sometimes I go right to the splitter from the tail gate (on rare occasion) .
    No lifting.

    Cabela's has a Carhartt sale going on.

Got the sale on the jacket, but they were sold out on bibs:mad: I ended up picking up bibs at tractor supply co, i got them alittle big so i can bend over.

    The wind here today was really bad today also. The only thing that helped me was that I was down in a draw so it was sheltered.

    That sucks, zap. Ive noticed this year that whenever I cut, my nose is super stuffed in the evening real bad. It never used to do this. I'll be taking a ride tomorrow to see if anything came down.

    I usually take a shower when I come in from the woods to get the pollen off, just took it about one hour ago. I'll be fine in the morning if it is like some of the other ones I had.
