    Very nice. Super nice if you get on a 5 year plan!

    I agree that both poplar and cherry should be ready to burn next winter. Oak and beech will have to wait. Usually 2 years on beech and 3 years on oak here. If you are splitting by hand, I advise to not try splitting that beech through the heart. Slab it off from the sides and leave the heart intact.

    I've got a hydro splitter I can bust it as fine as I want too. That usually helps on the drying. I got one more load hauled today mostly oak and beech. Super hot here middle 90. I'm usually a pretty tough cat but a saw and heat really works on me.

    63 Chevrolet springs front and back. Homemade shackles. Not sure on how much lift it has I'm figuring at least 10 inches. No shocks yet so when it hits it does some bouncing. Custom home made drivelines. I'm all about making do with what I got on hand. I'm tight that way lol.

    I had trouble with a little canon elph or a early iphone pics posting
    I remember having to do something odd like any portrait pics that corrected themselves on the desktop I had to turn 90 degrees, turn it back to where it was and save that to post. Everything wants to try to orient pics auto and it always doesn't work right. I try not to take portrait pics ( can always modify them in post ) and never, never, never, never, ever do portrait video.

    I'm using an iPhone 8. And I'm going through taptalk. It's right on my phone it's right in taptalk. When I post it here it twists it. I'll keep playing with it.

    It broke plumb out on me today. I've got some angle bolted in now. The only thing holding the bed together is the bed liner. I've got another bed for it but I figure I'm gonna get all the goody out of this one first.
