    Well I am pretty much done with firewood for the season. Now it is just a matter of Sun, Wind and Summer heat to make some pretty darn nice firewood. In the center you can see about 6 cord of Black Walnut, the campfire folks really liked it a lot last year. Smells good when burning and has a nice blue flame. There are two holes in the stack that I may fill if it dries up a lot. It is way to wet and soft in the yard to be hauling right now. All toll it generated 3.5 yards of splitter trash.

    You split by hand or hydraulics?

    Great eye my friend. It's 150' long, 4 stacks wide. There are 2 holes that were needed as I work the stacked rounds into split firewood. So I need one big load with the trailer to completely fill.

    Years ago while golfing a friend who is an anti gunner asked me, "how many guns do you have". I told him "I don't know. I could figure it out but don't know right now". His head almost exploded.

    As far as saws, put it this way, I don't refuel or sharpen in the field. Just grab another one kind of like a bass fisherman grabbing a new pole.

    Yes we will, The working guys don't even sympathize with me NEVER GETTING A DAY OFF. Playing 18 holes every day eats up a lot of time and energy. (Walking too, none of this namby pamby riding around in golf carts for this guy)
