Good Morning, Brothers & Sisters Thread

Good afternoon all. We bought 2 cords from Chaz's best friend FIL. Delivered the first 2 face cords this morning. He is 81. So I get to start working on that today. A lot of splits he does are really big and are going to need respliting. But I need to figure out how to get some pallets down. Humm puzzle. Oh well let see what happens.
Stay safe and stay healthy.

 

Don't bite off more than you can chew!

 

Oh trust me, I won't. Took Holly for a run then came down and decided how I was going to tackle the pallets. They are stacked 5 high. Remember people, I am only 5' tall. So, well anyway, the first one, I worked it over and got it down to lean back across the stack. Then took a 6' tow strap and attached it and dragged over to where I want it with the ATV.
Now I am sitting on front porch having a beer as everything up there is in full sun. Have about 6 pieces of shoulder season to split and stack and then I can start on Carl's wood.
Well Carl just dropped a 2nd load. Will get pics in a bit.

 

Well we got 4 face cords in today so 2 to go. Here they are.


This is the 2 elm that Chaz dropped. Not counting winter, when is a good time to split this? It was standing dead.

 

Bark is coming off that elm, so it's probably pretty dry.

 

Yea i am thinking that also. I was trying to figure out what I could do to entertain myself this afternoon. So one of the things was to go up and trim the small branches off so I could mow in that area. I know a chainsaw would be quicker but that is not one of my options . Well in the end mowing ended up the priority.
So much for that idea. lol Nothing serious. During the course of mowing I had to make a pit stop. Well took about a 20 minutes break. Went to start it and nothing. The only thing I can think of, I didn't have it completely off. Did I ever mention I hate lawn mower's.

 

I'm not fond of them either. The last time mine wouldn't restart, it was because the air filter was clogged.

 

Yep, that elm is very dry

Might split and check moisture this weekend

 

Chazsbetterhalf hope your day today is better

 

Good morning. 50s feel good again. Heat will be back on this weekend.

 

How's bout this.. You share the 50's, we'll share the 90's.. and we're all happy at 70

 

Good morning, early birds and late workers...hope y'all have a great day.
Got to go cut a yard when I get off in the morning.

 

Good morning.

We got a couple of heavy downpourstuff yesterday. Even if they were short in duration, some is better than none. Still, could have used more.

Stay safe
Stay healthy

 

Good morning everyone! We got about a cupful of rain yesterday. But, I did get some apple split, and moved a stack of birch. Temps in the 70's today, so I'll split some of the dead oak I got a few weeks ago. Back in the 90's this weekend. Have a great day all!

 

that's the way I feel some mornings when I get off...

 

Maybe more will come today.

 

Well. What do you know. We just took delivery of fuel oil. Our first in about 4 yrs. $1.32/gal. Just under 200gals.

It's used only for heat, as our hot water is propane.

11cord css'd. Another 2+ at ,my SIL's. We should be good with fuel oil until 2024, at least.

 

Good morning everybody. Well last load of wood was delivered at 6:30 this morning. Chaz needs to set up some pallets for me for the new wood. He needs to put some t post in and then put a pallet over them to make a back stop. Don't have to crib. Seen somebody on here do that.
Wasn't that bad yesterday Jeff. I have other wood I can split but need to figure out where Chaz wants it stacked. Thanks for the invite Jeff.
Fog lifted just a short time ago. So have to give the yard about 3 hours to dry out before i can mow otherwise the tires will just spin.
Have a good day. Stay safe and stay healthy.
