    We are blessed with good neighbors. One of the neighbors asked if I'd like to help him out. He needed wood moved and I could have it all. Well, what would you do?

    As stated we have good neighbors and are really blessed to have this couple for neighbors. Now we have a bunch more wood. There is probably 1.5 - 2 cord there. Difficult to tell because it is not all cut the same length. Unfortunately a lot of it is too long for our stove so we'll have to do some trimming but that's okay.

    We also gave a bunch to another neighbor who is in need. So it's been a busy day here but we got it done.

    That's a pretty good deal, better get the splitter out.

    Might have to do that Zap but right now it is at another neighbor's place. I'll probably wait until Spring.

    I think second with the tractor. Yes, we have plenty of wood right now.

    This is the absolute poorest color I've ever witnessed. It is really difficult to believe. Also difficult to believe we have not had a freeze yet. On top of it all, we hit 70 again today.

    That is great on getting the wood. Looks like it has been sitting for awhile.
    Sounds like you get along with all your neighbors there.

    Way to make good use of that tractor Dennis. Looks like good splitting fodder for the GTG?
