    I wish I could retire...lol...
    Actually had to work all Christmas weekend. 1 good thing about the 12 hr shift rotation, normally only work 14-16 days a month. I added some vacation time to my days off, really helped on this score. Off all next week too, heading back to the log score in the morning...

    Fill the sheds some...:saw::axe::stacker:...we have room for 10 cords in empty sheds, and probably room for 4 cords in our biggest shed that still has some hickory in it.

    We can take our insurance with us at 60, but the pension/401K takes a beating...

    I think some of the smaller logs, 6-10" dia is. Probably got a trailer load of that size to get. The bigger logs will still dry faster though.

    What great looking logs. And quite a nice woodyard. Your logs actually rest on support logs!
