    Went out this afternoon to do some work on the oak log pile.
    I wanted to run the Poulan 5020 with the 16 inch bar on it and decided to just stick with it.

    Getting started, pile is about 2 cords

    I figured I better take a picture at Halfway because I thought I was going to get dark on me

    Yep sure did, got dark on me, 5 logs left but my back was done anyway :BrianK:

    you should have seen me trying to balance the Lantern on my head to get the picture :rofl: :lol: dropped it on the ground three times but I got the picture in the end. Not a great pic probably would have been better, I found out I had my flash turned off on the phone :headbang:

    A true artist suffers for his work. He might even balance a lantern on his head.

    Looks like some nice oak, I wish I had access to a little more of that.

    Couple of the biggest ones I'm going to need a sledge and wedge or noodling before I can move them to split em, hookaroon works good for Rolling them around though
