    Moved more wood today. This is wood that was cut and split during our GTG a couple weeks ago. I can't do much at one time otherwise I would have had it all moved by now, but sometimes we just have to do what we can and gripe about what we can't do.

    Here is my hauler. Load the bucket then load the trailer.

    The rest is wood to still move and some still to be split. The pictures do not do it justice.

    And to top it off, I forgot to take a picture where It is being stacked.

    Looking good. I sure like that tractor not to mention how much easier it makes getting things done with wood.

    When I'm wooding, I do what I feel is enough for me, given the amount of time and how I am feeling. I feel good about what I was able to accomplish and look forward to continuing, when I can.

    Don't gripe about what still needs to be done. Celebrate what got done.

    That was my fence row clearing routine Sunday. Clear a few sections, sit in the shade eating popsicles til the mood struck to go back out. Got enough accomplished for the day.

    no reason to take the fun out of it

    The guys are right. I have looked at what I had left to do to much. Takes the fun out of it..I also have a friend with a bad back. He works his but off one day and is laid up for three. If he would slow down it would be allot better for him. Hope you get feeling better from the tooth being pulled quickly. Take it easy Dennis.

    Do not catch a cold in that tooth! Take it easy and let that blood clot heal.

    Never a pleasant experience!
    Be sure to put it under your pillow. Maybe the tooth fairy will leave a nice new chainsaw? :D

    I tried that with my last extraction, but to no avail!

    It was ugly so I certainly did not want it. Even the surgeon was amazed by how much curl there was in the root. Seems most of my teeth are like that. But I don't have many left now.
