Doing some firewood work.

The ground is drying out so I started getting a few things done. Yesterday I went back to my honey hole on the 4 wheeler mainly to test and tune my ugly duckling ms260. I cut a red oak top probably close to a face cord then started filling my "new" wood shed with white oak splits. My wood shed used to be a hen house and is pretty rough but mostly dry. Today I got my pole saw going and trimmed some low hanging branches on a red maple 2 apples and 2 walnuts to make mowing easier. I cleaned up where this year's wood stacks were but I still have more to do there. I did get the wood that got wet in the mini flood moved and the scraps burned in the burn pile. I have a big pile of hickory, red oak and walnut close to the woodshed and I need it all split and stacked before the grass gets growing. This evening I went through the piles and picked all the rounds that are small enough to burn and got them stacked in the shed. I then split the red oak but didn't stack it. I plan to split the pig nut next then the walnut as I plan to burn the walnut next fall. It was a warm day so I did most of the work early and late.

 

Sounds like a great day! Wish it was drying out here. Still too much snow on the trails to not get stuck with the atv.

 

I think it got close to 80 yesterday, I got some hickory split before noon then moved inside. I don't do well in full sun.

 

Still wet and raining here in Northern Indiana.

 

We are getting a lot of sleet and strong winds.

 

Rain here Fri night and Sat morning. More rain last night and this morning, forecast light rain/snow showers tonight. I hope mushroom season isn't frozen out this year.
