    20201031_094624.jpg Grab a log from the pile with forks. 20201031_094642.jpg
    Mark it for length & buck it up.

    Roll the rounds over to Ken for splitting & loading. We did about 2 cord from 9:00 till 2:00 with an hour lunch. Not bad. Only about 25 more to go.:thumbs:

    It was a beautiful day, 28 in the morning & 50 by afternoon. Sun all day! That doesn't happen here much this time of year. I worked up a pretty good sweat by time I got my cord stacked at 4:00. Felt good.

    Yes it was a beautiful day! They say it will get nasty and then really warm up to 60 this week. Amazing, especially if we compare it to last year.

    Keep up the good work amateur cutter.

    That's a great way to spend some time outdoors! Well done! Cool machines as well.
