    With standing dead red oak! :dex:

    Most of which went straight into the basement :yes:

    Another good day for hoarding today.
    Mrs. TD and I spent a few hours in the woods and we got a full load cut and split and stacked and a cart load that still needs split.
    Should be able to get our 2019/20 wood C/S/S in a few weeks also:dancer:

    Today's load
    Almost forgot a pic

    I was able to bring in a bag of pellets today..... took 2 trips... looks like you had a better return on time investment.

    Yes, and

    The Firewood gods have been good this year!
    Seems the red oaks have been dieing off here the last few years on my mom's property. Have a bunch more that need cleaned up also. Three nice ones uprooted at once over the summer. I started bucking those up but it was just too hot for me

    Dress for what ever weather is coming and get out for a little while tomorrow.
    Even if it's only for a few minutes...
    Take a deep breath and ask God for the peace that only He can provide.

    You know I really had not considered doing that but I really think I may just do that for a little bit. You are a wise man, my friend.

    Yep!

    Even if if there's a mist or slight drizzle, no problem. Very refreshing, indeed.


    PS- nice load TD... I know Jules' & your work ethic:handshake:

    Great TurboDiesel that you have the standing dead oak. Makes for some great firewood. Heavy stuff though but your wife can no doubt handle it! :rofl: :lol: After all, that is why you probably took her along...
