    No. Not yet. Doug hasn’t been cleared from his broken collar bone. He’s about to go nuts. But Doc said 3 weeks so no doubt he and Trent will get to help.
    I have gotten about a third of it home and stacked in rounds. So there is about 4 cords out there. Here is what I have gotten home - 1.5 cords. Chief

    No. Just don’t think much about it until it gets cold. Have been camping a little.

    Good for you Chief, As much as I like pics of wood, I liked that pic of you and your boys better. Your smiles say everything! Glad you get to spend time together.

    After a couple of days spent felling/limbing/bucking/loading/unloading, that drive-in log pile looks pretty sweet! Those first two steps are SOOO much more work.

    I am cutting for the widow lady next door as well. She loves to have a fire and has no means to get wood. And she is such a good neighbor and friend I will keep her in wood as long as I’m able. :stacker: She came to the fence when we were unloading the other day and said she was really worried she was burning too much wood and becoming a burden. My son Doug told her, you stop worrying about it, you just burn it we will cut it. She got tears in her eyes. :) It felt like Christmas.
