Well, I left more on the ground than I want but the shoulder is quite limiting-split all the poplar for my buddy who treated me to the wood for his kids fire-pit-loaded his tandem 16x6 trailer this AM and he pulled it down here for me this afternoon cause brakes still not fixed on Ole Red...prob gonna be @ 3 cord and I'm prob done for the yr...
Lot of whats left is either too short, too heavy, etc-did want to get to a 36" butt off but was blocked by his trailer and couldnt get splitter around to it...all in all, a good haul-have to know your limits-I iced shoulder the rest of the day and will process in the AM-My best friends 76 yo FIL was struck in the head on a logging job, on his property clearing pasture and was killed Thur, the funeral is tomorrow-Please stay safe all...
Well except for the shoulder problem look like a good day man I'm sorry to hear about your friends father-in-law though, that's a very unfortunate accident
Thank you sir-still gathering details-all I know is he was on the tractor, someone else cut but doesnt sound like operator error-he was always getting too close I guess-told it was just a 4-5" branch but we know that's enough-he was an experienced logger...a big man,, on his own farm...just a dang tragedy---his wife of 48 yrs sends me a coconut creme pie every time she makes them...tragic no matter-thx for prayers all
Moved this 2015 1/2 cord to the shed today, pignut hickory, red and white oak. The cleared pallet temp holds what is for '19-the little triangle in the middle is short stuff I'm giving to the lady who has cut my hair for 20 yrs for her firepit...said a firepit eve with her kids and hubs costs her @ $35 buying convenience store wood and starter logs???? She is taken care of...giving her kindling and dried bark to ignite-that wood is mostly red oak on the ground since Jan cut to rounds-fine for the firepit plus I threw her in some little pieces from the '15 stack I broke down and moved...
Thank you sir-she has a little Nissan pick up-if she wants to fill it up and store it properly under cover, etc-I'll fill up the truck-it's what we hoarders do...she's a good person and a great mom and I enjoy sharing the fruits of my labor with good people.
Guess I'm done-shoulder is worse by the day--unless some lands in my lap or I find dead standing or down on the farm...these stacks complete my hoarding for 2017...I'm in good shape-will stack a couple months worth on the porch so my help post surgery wont have to labor...much....I trust this finds all well-bout time to burn...
Lookin good ash Set back and enjoy the fruits of your labor , you will be nice n toasty while you heal up
Really sorry to hear about the shoulder trouble. So how much wood do you have ready? How long will it last?
X3. Freak stuff can happen. That's why you always need to be vigilant. RIP Good on'ya for giving your haircutter firewood for her fire pit.
Sitting on about 8 cord Sir Backwoods Savage and average burn is 2.5-3 cord per. I've been hampered and not been able to process as much as normal years-should be good to go by April-here lately it just keeps deteriorating and I've played on house money for about 4 yrs-but again, just orthopedic, suck it up buttercup but I'm crying uncle in December-I'll prob try and muster another cord or two before shutting down, if the right opp presents-Thx to all-this place is like family....
