    I have been talking since before the vaccine was approved. Since my minor heart attack in November and my high blood pressure has been out of wack. So we been working on finding out the right mixture with all the heart meds. I do believe the change we did last week finally got it. I know when she feels it is safe for me, she'll have me get it.

    EDAA7DBE-3E69-49CA-A2CF-81E6B9CAFF0E.jpeg This is my first real stack I split. The Chief might of helped some. It was cold as you know what today. I love splitting when it’s cold. Two of my daughters ( Mia Jo and Maybree Lynn helped me too). This 25 ton splitter is the nuts!

    Woodlands. It’s a variety of different wood. Ash, oak a lot of beautiful walnut. The Chief likes the walnut. I’m waiting on him to make my a pistol grip with some of it. No luck yet. Haha

    Welcome Ryan Spencer so cool when more wood burners come around. Good on you Chief for the education. I was sure glad to have a farmer buddy when I started.

    Sounds like Ryans knowledge is already ahead of a lot of “wood burners” that have been “doing it that way for 30 years!” We all know the type
