    Only ended up with one score for the year. Local tree service dropped off a load OD post oak from a job. Nice wood pain to split.

    It yielded a little over a cord C/S/S. That and a little bit from the end of 2020 allowed me to replace what I burnt for the winter.

    Fast forward to the end of June and covid came knocking. My dear wife and I both got it. We survived, but I don't wish it on anyone.

    October saw me in the ER with a kidney stone, 2nd one in 7 years. I say I'm lucky to only have had 2. November it back to ER with a heart attack. Chest pain with excursion and a family history told me not to miss around and listen to my body. Glad I did as the left main artery was 99% block. Successful Stent placement and I was back to normal activities by Thanksgiving. Got to enjoy the holiday my daughter had family. Grandson enjoyed going hunting with "papa" and harvested his first squirrel. Before their departure home to Florida our son-in-law had an emergency appendectomy thus extending their visit by one week. December had me back to the hospital for scheduled kidney stone removal. Crazy how an angiogram can be less evasive than kidney stone recovery.

    2022 has definitely started off better and I thank the good Lord for that and all our blessings. We just purchased the house across the street from us and are starting to move. Looking forward to that new adventure. Flat 1 acre lot, 12x16 out building and a pad with electric for the 5th wheel.

    Yeah when things hit you like that it does set you back but also helps you prioritize better

    Scary stuff there. The joys of aging. Glad you are well and life returning to normal. Just had my annual physical and need to make some life adjustments or else! :picard:
    Best of luck with the new place and look forward to seeing your future hoarding efforts. :saw:
