    Yep, watching the game now. Maybe I'll go out and start up the splitter between games today.

    I did get some work in before I missed to much of the first game though.

    Here's before I started splitting today

    Here's what I got done so far.

    There's the big boys and a bit more after that.

    I did split the crabapple that I got from my neighbor a few weeks ago as well. That's to the far right, just before the few more larger ash rounds.


    And here's what I brought home yesterday, well, minus a tote full that I took in this am.

    That’s a welcome sight Tom! You’re likely to have burnt more than said there, knowing how much you sweat it out. That’s nearly a day in calories perspective!!!

    Ok I split more ash. I still have a couple of big boys to split, but all in all about 15 rounds to go.

    Here's most of the rounds that are left.

    I'm bad at judging cordage unless it's stacked, but this has to be a cord of ash. Maybe more?

    I've got to unload and stack the wood in the trailer yet tonight, as well as get the Christmas tree out of the house and at the curb. Monday is the last day for free curbside pickup of christmas trees.

    Unfortunately the tree is still at the curb. So are all of the neighbor's trees though. Hopefully they pick them up tomorrow. It was supposed to be today for last call.
