    Dennis sent email looking for me :::
    "I'm Back in Alaska "

    Not much going on here. Back from SoCal a couple weeks ago
    Came back to winter.... to cold to go stack then. LOL

    Got motivated with the 16 hours of sunshine & 50°.

    The from rows on every section needed pounded back in 6" or so.
    Luck only part of one section fell.
    I think I got every piece back where it was .... ??? :D

    Good to see ya bogydave ! I guess if all the damage an earthquake did was knock some wood over that's not too bad?

    Look around at bogydave 's posts from a year or two back & find the "wood train" that's really cool.

    Yep I believe I’ve seen them. But bogydave is in Alaska & in my mind that makes everything different/ better. If I was up there and had 2 half rotten splits laying a foot apart on my own place it would be a darn nice pile! :yes:

    You sure it was an earthquake and not some shifting going on during the thaw?

    Either way, it was just a little and not a lot!

    With all the rain here lately I'd say we are lucky to get 16 hours of sun in a week!

    What bogydave is lucky about is, that the Moose Antlers didn't wrecked. I have one side of Moose Antler I found deer hunting here in NH, you don't find them every day.

    So, bogydave how much wood do you figure is in that stack. Is it a 3 year plan? What kind of wood? Spruce? This Alaska dreamer is corious.
