    Me and the 362 spent the morning bucking 5 ash trees I put down a few days ago.

    A lot of wood handling still ahead. Gotta get the rounds off the hill and to my splitting area. THEN split, stack and wait.

    I must be close to 8 to 10 years ahead now. I can't help it, I'm an addict!:rofl: :lol:

    It is not only about the wood. For some of us it is a chance to get outside and run another saw. The wood looks great.

    Someone is living a hoarders dream, some nice wood gathering goin on there! And it looks dry and cold too.
    I got another 3 big ashes to cut, got to wait for frost though otherwise they might pop out in china as the ground is soaking.
