    We had an early Christmas at my brothers place in Syracuse so tomorrow I'll start getting some firewood down.

    This is in the area not far from the house, we have a bunch of damaged trees that we'll get down before they get real bad, we have some soft maple,yellow birch,cherry and some sugar maple.

    Not far from this area we have a damaged double trunk maple and another damaged birch, yellow I hope.

    Once I get a new trail cleared it will get me to more work. I haven't been doing much because the doc thinks I had some type of infection going on that is clearing up but I'd rather cut wood with some infection then sit here in this damm recliner.

    Had one of those injected type x-rays yesterday and mri scheduled for wed.

    I was also prescribed one of those do-hickeys where you adjust a setting for elec shock.
