    Thought you guys would like this shot of today's hoarding activities. I dropped the tree last weekend and got it bucked. Today I rolled the rounds out of the drop zone and started splitting, throwing 'em across the ditch and fence into the driveway, and stacking. I'll have you know I only broke the fence once and lost one split and one whole round in the water. I got 'em back!

    It's noon in that first photo, it's that foggy!

    Splitting zone and the water hazard...

    Off to a good start...

    And as a bonus, check out my new toy!!

    If you landed one in the water, how did you take a penalty shot? :D

    Nice work!

    Yep, Doug Fir. I wish I had some oak! I'm going to get a lot of practice on this one, I've got three more trees I'd like to drop right in the same spot. Hopefully I can stay out of the water, and the fence!

    Nice beginning stack.
    Not a good wood drying day,
    not sure landing a few in the water hazard made it any wetter :confused:
    :)
