    The youngest piney has already learned the basics of splitting and stacking so today we practiced with the cant hook. He had it figured out after a few tries :thumbs:

    Very awesome! Way to go man, you’re showing your kids so much for their future, and the future of that generation, no doubt.

    You're absolutely right. Not these kids. If we're outside, they're outside with us 90% of the time. And thankfully they're both eager to help with the work sometimes.

    Thanks buddy. I sure hope everything we're teaching them sticks with them as they grow up.

    Haha it's both. They're growing like crazy and we ain't getting any younger.

    Erik B he'll be 4 in Nov and his big sis just turned 8 this summer o_O

    Canadian border VT :rofl: :lol:. These kids like to learn things the hard way. I told him he at least needed sneakers but he insisted on his crocks. I said "ok but when you drop a log on your foot don't come runnin to me". Thankfully he still has all his toes
