    I'll start on this downed Hemlock on Thursday, I should have it bucked up before the end of that day.

    I'll get it split before next Wednesday.

    This will be burned in the shoulder season of 2017.

    The work for today will happen tomorrow, we did some work yesterday that wasn't planned so I did the planned work from yesterday today.

    It should be in the low to mid 70's today, just waiting until the neighbors are up before I start on the Hemlock.

    The cutting went good except working by the Brook made it hard to stay focused on the job. :thumbs: I took all my breaks sitting my arse in the chair by the Brook.

    I'll get the rest of the Hemlock after I split these rounds, I started at 10 and the work was done by 11:30 a.m. 102_0120.JPG

    Nope, not today. I started to get the five gallon buckets we plant the tomato plants in ready, then I made two runs to the dump and the last thing I did today was clean some chains so I can sharpen them.

    Next week we'll be getting the area ready for our pole beans, I won't be doing any splitting until after we have that done.

    And before I finish the Hemlock, I'll need to remove some rocks that are underneath it where I'll be cutting.
