    We spent a couple hours today bucking and splitting some maple, boxelder and unamed light white wood (basswood maybe, had bark similar to mulberry). First time I've done much since last July 4 when I hurt my shoulder. Another reminder of why you need to keep at least a year ahead!

    Left phone inside because my shorts didn't have any pockets. Had chaps on over them, FYI.

    Good to hear you are back at it Adam. You are right about being ahead on the wood. That's why we preach 3 years ahead!

    Ok, pile was a bit over twice this size. This is what we will be finishing up tomorrow. image.jpeg

    Front row (closest to camera) is what was stacked today, minus a small amount that was there previously. image.jpeg

    I think these were actually from a tree job I did last fall, next to my parents house 4 blocks down.

    Glad your shoulder is doing better. Watch that lifting and heaving.

    Glad to hear it Grizz.....my shoulder is STILL bummed from our beach trip over a year ago. Sadly, it doesn't seem to want to get better. I work theough the pain, have good days and bad days with it.....I fear eventual surgery.
