What a great pile of wood. Easy access, lots of wood, already seasoned so you're not having to move around a bunch of water, lots of room to work. Can tell how dry it is by the lack of sag on your Yoda with that last load!
Thanks for the pictures Allan. You two make a great team! Many will never know the satisfaction of the husband and wife working together....and not at each other's throat while doing so!
In the early 90s, when our daughters had gone off to university, I was worried about empty nest syndrome so with the thought that flying having become so expensive, Woodwidow and I should find a new hobby. Woodwidow suggested that we take up quilting but apparently the expression on my face said NA. I suggested sailing, thinking of a 16 footer that we could take out to the lake. Well, the expression on her face was not good so she suggested a boat with a galley and sleeping capability. SHE WON! The boat was trailerable. From the time you pulled it out of the water on the trailer to the time it was road ready would take about 1 1/2 hours. Well, the punch line to this narrative. At the end of a sailing holiday we came out of the water at a marina which was a difficult place to take the mast down and get road ready. Power lines forced us to de-rig on the boat ramp where others wanted to use the ramp also. This old timer sat and watched us through the whole process and at the end said "That was really disappointing. Not one cross word or raised voice." Then with a big smile he said "real teamwork"! Thanks Dennis for the compliment. That is one of the nice things about the people on this forum. They are always looking for the positive!
Getting expensive? I thought it has always been that way. I learned quickly the saying that there are 3 things absolutely necessary to fly. 1. Thrust. 2. Lift. 3. Lots of money.
The memories of this one flight make it all worth while! Camp life very often had one very bad habit that trapped many people because of the isolation Alcohol ! This hobby required a clear head and the memories Priceless ! Over the Selkirk range at about 10,500 above sea level.
