    Decided its time to end my "cabin fever" thread since its now Summer. Making firewood the last thing on most hoarders minds, but us die hards labor on.

    Found on FBM an easy score of bucked green and dead red maple plus some dead ash. Just had to wheelbarrow it out. A little saw action with the 241. Split at storage after. Amounted to roughly 40% of a cord. Lot of shorts due to the wrong length. Rest for general cordage.

    I'll update this thread as I hoard more wood. Just wish I could post pics as I have them! :tears:

    You can learn a new trick. You're not at that "Old Dog" stage.

    Trust the force..... you can resize pictures to be able to post them. It's a PITA, but is what it is.

    We’ll have to use our
    Insert SpongeBob imagination gif here
    Since it’s the internet with no pics you can say it was your biggest BL score ever.
    I’m going to pick up a truckload of SBH this afternoon :thumbs:

    We could have Eric VW come and inspect our scores as they happen. :whistle: IIRC he is the picture police.

    How big is the SBH? :woodsign:

    but I did split some white oak this morning that was stringy as hek. Didn’t even bother taking a pic since I can’t post it. The splits were so fuzzy it had me wondering if it was a freak hybrid with elm.

    Photo documentarian and anally retentive grammarian. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    I'm with ya Brad.
    Not that easy with an iPhone. If I can't at least screen shot and/or crop, it ain't happenin'. A little discouraging but,, it is what it is. The days of pic heavy image sharing is over.

    Well it's hitting temps of mid 90s so I'll be back at it. I have a dead BL that was a barber chair that finally came down and some large cherry branches blocking trails. But first I need to give the stacks a haircut.
