    I thought the winner got a ride in the corporate helicopter!

    As far as you can go on one tank of fuel. It would have been 2 tanks last year.

    Not too often
    That was a CL score I couldn’t pass on and glad I didn’t.
    34” bar and it didn’t blink cross cut or noodle.

    At 94 cc's i dont think it would blink. Is that your biggest Husky? 500i at 79cc the biggest ive ever run.
    Always fun to run the long bar every now and then...unless you hit dirt (been there done that)

    Everything is in one pile now.
    Measures 10x13x4.75 of rounds.
    I’ve figured a volume based on the same way I estimate a pile of splits.

    Anyone one to guess the cordage again based on that info?

    there’s a tape measure on the round closest to me in the second picture, for reference if that’s useful

    Using a height of 5 and a radius of 6 , I get 188.5 cu ft /128=1.5 corde de bois/cord of wood.
    With a little luck and a wide enough margin of error I don't need my pencil's eraser.

    I get 1.78 looking at it as an ellipsoid, cutting it in half, and then taking 70%.

    No math in my guess. Just spitballing based on how much I’d have to stack from a similar size pile.

    A little more info if it helps.
    Spent a little time this morning getting into the splitting part.

    Another poke at it this morning before the splitter ran out of gas and me interest.
    I figure what is split and piled is about 95% of a cord.

    Slowly, slowly, catch a monkey.
    Got through the rest of the Goldie Locks stuff and was left with the noodle ables, which I did this evening. Any luck I’ll have the splitting done tomorrow morning before it gets warm out.
