    Measured today and it’s “only” 20 inches across on average, what with the funky shape these rounds have. The bark would easily add 3 to that I’m sure. I’m curious as to the weight. Might bust it in half and hop on the scale with it.

    PXL_20221204_183155625.jpg Well shucks, now I’m gonna have to measure a couple I have on the upper pile! But yeah,no more lifting stuff like that. Noodling or the isocore, but some frozen ground would certainly help with the latter.
