    I make sure that I am able to be lazy sometimes. My sell stacks are uppina woods, so the shed stash is meant for days like yesterday. I get a little bummed when forward progress is halted like this weekend (not just with bagwood). Yesterday it was a question of whether I wanted to 'suffer' to move forwards and I did not. Just means I gotta make more of them when I go back to the pile than I wood have otherwise.

    That's great. Will you have it loaded, delivered, perfectly wheelbarrowed up the mountain, stacked and be home by the chugging hr?

    We delivered 2 totes Wednesday, he helped stack on front porch. Got an emergency load to deliver tomorrow after work (I may slip off while at work;);)) because they don't have enough to last till Monday :picard::picard::picard:...then a new friend will get a tote Monday also.

    And no fancy ads were harmed this week.

    No, if I have time I’ll squeeze in a Taco Rick delivery and wheelbarrow some wood into to my own dang basement.

    Miz Carol had the tractor warmed up, tote out of storage and sitting behind truck for me to load when I got home from work about 6:30PM...:eek::eek:
    I'll deliver it sometime today, if things go smoothly at work...or after I get off, if they don't...:thumbs::thumbs: 20260117_075428.jpg
    I wonder if Superboy's wifey would help him like that or even know how to operate a tractor...:whistle::whistle::whistle:

    Miz Carol rocks...:dex::dex::dex::salute::salute:

    Last year was the first year I didn’t run out and was very busy in January and February but this pace is ridiculous. Good problem to have but I’d like a break. Have taken 4 more orders since I last posted.

    It was painful, but I had to turn down a customer today. Record breaking snowfall in the forecast has folks scrambling for an alternative heat source.
    I only have pin oak, sugar maple and pecan left for this season. That will be saved for the frequent flyers.

    4 deliveries after a 16hr day of strenuous ultra cardio work at the quarry. Time for liquor, perfect pull-ups, sit-ups and pushups. What did you do today plebes?
