    Well, in a "work" sense, anyway....

    We pieced out a VERY technical monster ash last Saturday and Sunday, I ended up with the main trunk of that beast which was 40" diameter at the base. Gonna split all of that as well as a heap of Norway maple I have out back tomorrow morning, and also gonna haul some huge Norway spruce logs home from a job I did a few weeks back. So I'll still be working but I'll actually get to eat a home-cooked breakfast tomorrow!!

    That is a good goal. Your day starts so much better with a decent breakfast.

    Spent the whole morning tinkering on a tachometer/speedometer upgrade for my old car......still haven't started splitting yet! But is been a beautiful, tranquil and peaceful morning, I'm kinda enjoying the crickets and squirrels chirping for now. I'll be splitting here shortly..

    Would be fun to spit that big stuff. (Vertical only ;) )
    Nice straight grain, bet it makes some nice 4x4 splits.
    Good to relax, tinker & have fun when you can
