    of the 14 times I handle firewood :

    http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/the-14-times-i-handle-fire-wood-tree-to-ashes.929/

    Was a slight drizzly rain, golf got canceled.
    Many hear are having fun stacking wood, so a little rain shouldn't be so bad.

    1st load went OK, had a low tire on the trailer, unloaded & filled the tire.
    2nd load the sky opened up, Had rain pants & rain shirt ,
    but even this dumb ole hillbilly know when to call the dogs.

    At least I got a start on the 17/18 in the shed. & the wood in the shed is out of the rain :)

    I'm sure if I was backing up that rig, I'd hit the post and the whole thing would come down on my head. :)

    Lookin' at those loooong stacks and your well made woodshed packed with birch never gets old. You have a sweet setup there, Dave. Quite sure that we all appreciate the steps taken to get it there too.... Good job.
    EDIT:: Wait a minute....... no mountains?

    I don't get it Dave, I think you could have put another split or 2 on the trailer? Slacker ! :binoculars:

    I never really counted the handling steps in my process. 14 seems like a lot, then again with every time I look at a split I tend to touch it and talk to it...and smell it.

    I agree. Setup looks great. I especially like the moose antlers and the trailer for the quad. What kind is it?

    Would have been a nice day here for bike riding and I was thinking hard about it. However, by the time I got some other things done, the ride has to wait. Danged body...
