You forgot the ears. ;) Looks like the better part of a whole pig there. Looking forward to the during and after pics!
Good work there, ma'am. Time to start splitting! Do you have a splitter rig for that fine piece of Detroit iron?

Welcome from your rabble rousing neighbours out west! We like pictures of wood, fires, and the beverages you may be consuming while enjoying the...
