    Did right around 5 hours of splitting/stacking yesterday.

    That stack of rounds is slowly dwindling! :yes:

    Wonder what priority will take it's place once I finish??

    Just another day I planned on s/s some pine but I mowed another trail along with a area near the Brook. I have some rocks that will need removing before I do it again, nope, I didn't hit any.

    I'm not doing it with a push mower or weed eater, we're using this for mowing the lawn and trails, another new toy. The lowest it will cut is 4 inches and the highest it will cut is 7.5 to 8.

    We did not see the sun until late in the day. Then the temp went up to 70.

    I did more splitting and stacking today, another face cord of pine went up for a total of 15. I still have more rounds to split so I'll either go for a stacked 16th or just split and toss in a big pile and then cover it before winter.

    Picture 3812 are the rounds I started with, 3813 & 14 are some of the loads that went to the stacking area & 3818 is the face cord of pine.

    I washed one vehicle today, I'll probably do one more this week. After I was done washing, I decided to hook the trail mower up and do three areas that needed it.

    Stacked the wood I split yesterday. Splitting and stacking early while the temps are still manageable.

    Had plans to hit the wood plile and maybe finish splitting what is left early this morning while the temps were still in the 60's but......

    When I sat up to get out of bed, a huge spasm hit me in the lower back from one side to the other. Bent over for a hour before the pain meds kicked in and that was good enough of a warning to take another day off!

    Sounds like a need for heat on that back.

    I have one of these and it is great. I use only heat; not ice.

    I went for a ride with the heated seat back portion of the truck and picked up some items needed for the July visitors we have coming. Between that and the pain med, the back was much better!

    Nothing from it so far today! :handshake:

    Those heaters in vehicles are super! I use mine whenever I am on the road.
