    Nah, I love 'me! Just looked like the handle was photobombing to get in that pic, instead of stalking, but "stalking" that ash works, too:thumbs:

    Well, I got a little done today, got the rest of the cord stacked, covered, and had a little left over so, I know I didn't get shorted that's for sure..
    Tree is still in the woods

    Taking a break now, Tree is all cut up, took out a little maple.
    I'm not sure how I want to go about this next, maybe back my big trailer up in there and roll them rounds up in it, or get the splitter up in there and start splitting vertically.
    What do you think?

    When in doubt, call the pro's! I think I'll be burning ash for the rest of my time here on the mother planet, thanks to the EAB.
