    Something around 10 cords. The pool is 17'x36' I think.
    I still have some free space for stacking. After I put a double row all the way along the fenceline (another one and two third cords), I can put some behind the pool. Then I'm pretty much maxed out, unless I want to sacrifice lawn.

    I'll probably plant a cord of seedlings outside, but no wood.

    I will and thank you. I've even promised Judy that I would; at least through Sunday. I really took it easy today. All I did was take some lime out of the car so she could go to town and believe me, when she goes shopping she needs the room. Then I went visiting with a couple neighbors then took down some trail cameras. End of what I accomplished other than helping her bring in a couple hundred bags of food. At least it seemed like that much...

    Not planning much CSS just general cleaning up in the back lot, noodles, splitter trash, bark & a few cottonwood saplings I’ve taken out lately. I will have to get some wood inside, forcast is looking considerably cooler through middle of next week. Oh yeah..... & move some flower planters around to prevent frost on em. Probably lost a 1/3 of the ones we planted on Easter already

    Did a great big NOTHING today. Depending on the weather, I will try to get the rest of the monster rounds a few blocks away. I would guess a strong half cord between them.

    Had the closest one on the lift, but could not get it rolled into the bed. When turned it was wider than the bed. I will have to take a tape with me and snap a picture. First load below.

    nice looking load @OhioStihl:yes: Looks like the bark is holding onto that ash. Was it green or dead when cut?

    None! Got back late last night from a week long school trip with kids, to Kenai and Homer. We spent 2 days at the Challenger science center, with Mars space flights and 3 days tidepooling and forest ecology on an island an hour boat ride from Homer. Now back to work, EMT recertifications for work. 95ABD673-4014-47B6-986C-129EB9869C52.jpeg 1DE8FD29-6051-49FD-BB07-A61F3A718F37.jpeg 7234CC00-495F-4DC7-9D84-83D43D7826B7.jpeg 52C20088-82CD-4AE7-BB3E-CECC15AF5162.jpeg 31E1A3D4-0CA3-414B-AB3B-48B7FC1D93A7.jpeg B40BE60C-F4C4-4246-95BD-AD821DD0017C.jpeg

    You're a good father Rope! Are you able to cut or is it still too muddy up there?

    Took down the leaner that was on my trail. No videos, but she was a bit nerve racking. Once the cut opened a little, I let gravity do the rest. Used the winch to block it to the ground C0FA60F8-6792-4A4E-B9C6-306E611C5C35.jpeg 40579824-B44D-4684-A3AE-3C335FDB2A60.jpeg F97383BE-A6E6-46C3-B672-2585C8C0F102.jpeg A050FF9B-D4F5-4531-A3AE-B2F85F497877.jpeg 8C4F6DC7-1560-482F-AFA1-C0ACA5CA8D72.jpeg E2FE1F45-673F-4049-BBB1-678A806181BA.jpeg B13DAEC7-3D82-4300-8454-0822A1362E36.jpeg
