    A beautiful fall day today so I spent this morning outdoors with my dogs processing wood.

    Shifting a load of wood from where I process to my house. The front half is silver maple and back half is elm and ash. I couldn't have done it without Doug's help of course.

    Worked on splitting and stacking my good wood (locust mostly). Giving cribbing another shot on the near end. Hopefully I get it right it will have to sit there for a couple years.

    Thanks. They would probably only get a B- at best compared some of the work that the pros here do but it's good to learn.
