    Nice work Bill. Hopefully your weather is as good as ours. This past 2 weeks have been awesome and they are talking about 50 the next 2 days before reality returns.

    I was splitting them in half with wedges.

    That's it for the day.
    3 good size piles a third to a half cord each.
    Haven't worked green red oak for a while.
    Had to watch some of the Pats/Dolphins game.

    Nice shot of weather here for the next week to ten days, maybe a few showers next Sunday.
    Already being asked if those piles are going to be there for Christmas.
    Looks festive to me. :whistle:

    Today was a nice day to do anything outdoors. I raked the front yard and did some stacks organizing.
    Bill, Nice job on the splitting. Can I ask how long your splits are?

    Thats what I was thinking when I saw them in the pic. I used to split them
    the same size for the Oslo when I had it. Now I mostly go 16" +/- for the IS. I load N/S
    vs. E/W in the Oslo.
