    If you look at the size of the atv and then look at the size of the one round I've circled in red, you get somewhat of an idea of the size of that log. It is 16" long and off hand I don't know the diameter. Perhaps I'll measure that and post it later. Also, I definitely had to use the cant hook to get it into the trailer and then to the stack.

    But my point is that my little redhead is so ornery, she just stood and stared at that log and it rolled right to the trailer.

    Seriously, she did roll that to the trailer even though I told her not to. After what she has went through I am worried she is trying to do too much. So, quite naturally, when I was not looking she did it. What could I say? Besides, she threatened me with a cant hook.

    I've heard that redheads can do that stuff. Guess it's true... ;)

    Don't know about yours, but mine can do more threatening by far with just "that look" than any old dumb cant hook. Sounds to me like you have a keeper too. Please tell Judy that Gark asks respectfully if she will please take it easy.

    The tables have turned, she now has the upper hand!

    Well, getting threatened with her cant hook is probably better than her right hook!
    When it comes to the wood moving/stacking, 99 is prohibited! Too many sore elbows shoulders wrists etc. I enjoy when she runs the control on the splitter, but that's it!
    You have to sit her down and have a "limits" talk with her so she'll be O.K.

    I'm sure she's a lot like mine. Just that stare and fire in her eyes is enough to make you tuck tail and sit quiet....

    Send my love to Judy. I'm still trying to figure out who's MORE ornery......you or her!!

    I hope you both keep healthy, feeling good and are able to stay out there in the fresh air getting it done.

    Take a break when you deserve it though.
