    Yes sir, brother. We've got a small hard side cooler that goes with us know. The shed we will start on now has good shade on one end and we will be able to use the fans and lights.

    Tuesday morning took my hunny out for breakfast, went by saw dealer, got a new chain for the MS180 and a spare chain for the 32" bar, he also checked the oiler on the MS461, it had been leaking a bit. Checked on her car, still not finished with it yet.
    Got home, replaced the bearings in the front tires on the mower, replaced a board on the cutting sled. Cleaned out a spot and sorted 4 trailer loads of oak and hickory.

    Wednesday, got early start on the oak. About 4 hrs and 5 bottles of water later, it's ready for the splitter 0708201152.jpg The MS180 and huskihl XS029BB got the call today. They were up to the challenge.

    That hickory is so nice and straight! That will go to your meat smoking customers?

    Shed before and after. 0709200826.jpg 0710202220.jpg We did a little over 1/2 cord. We will hit it again tonight when I get home.

    Finished up these 10 rounds Monday morning and stacked it. Got 1 1/2 cords + a small pile of chunkies/big knots from that pile of logs we had been working on 0711202216_HDR.jpg 0713201046_HDR.jpg

    0713201047.jpg Then we got started on some bigger boys, this load of logs, just the oak. 0601201740.jpg 0601201741.jpg
    Got it bucked and some SS 0713201442_HDR.jpg Found some unwanted pest in the hollow log, trimmed them off and still had some good splits. 0713201909.jpg Finished stacking 3rd row in the shed
    0714200820_HDR.jpg
    This morning, used the red splitter to quarter more rounds into handling size, then final split and stacked by noon. 0714200859.jpg
    Got these 9 rounds left from that load of logs. 0714200859_HDR.jpg

    Haven't made it to the new (calico) shed yet. I'm calling it that because the roof is brown & green with blue screws. This is the Big shed you liked last year. Got 3 + rows in it so far. Holds 9 rows.

    After we finished that stack on the ramps, we got out the big tongs for the big boys 0717201046.jpg Getting one hooked up 0717201054.jpg 0717201100.jpg Let the MS461 have fun today with 32" bar 0717201105.jpg Got the butt log, it was a LOAD. 0717201212.jpg 0717201213b.jpg
    We split 3 rounds yesterday. Pretty oak under that bark. 0717201410_HDR.jpg Got 13 rounds left, found termites in the big crack in the middle, poured a little gas in there. Maybe that slowed them down. Biggest is 38", down to about 30" 0718202046.jpg
