    I only have three since I’m already on the 5-6 year wood plan.


    I need to make time for some math classes to hopefully make some upcoming changes at work easier.

    Try harder to finally break the 100 mark, getting the boat launched off the beach.

    Make more time to work up the full sized garden and do a total re-stock of canned stuff for the pantry.


    What are your goals for the upcoming year?

    Build a lean-to for storing my splitter under cover.
    Get on the saw reduction plan :whistle:
    Get rid of junk around the house in general.
    Add another raised garden bed and use my garden space more efficiently.
    Do more with my kids this summer, take long weekends to go camping, the beach, etc.

    Roof over sawmill is #1.

    No lack of other things to do.
    You know how we all have "THAT" list .

    As much as I like to think " Hey it's a new year and I am going to get everything done" the reality is there will always be a list.

    Have a happy and safe one gang!!

    In my defense I’ll pose a question ~ how many saws with a 16” bar does one hoarder need?
    I think one is enough, and 3 is a bit redundant :)

    I know that 15-16 saws with 16" bars is enough...

    See the scale show under 200 which is almost 30 lbs. Heaviest I have ever been. Read more bible, naturally cut wood and not leave any unsplit wood for summer (hopefully unless I get into some really late spring). I'd really like to remodel both bathrooms.

    I thought it foes like this: 1 is none and 2 is one. If 2 is 1 then you also need a backup, so 3 is perfect :D

    My resolution every year is not to make any resolutions. So, since I make that resolution the first thing I've done is break the resolution at 12:00:01 am, I'm free to decide during the remainder of the year what is important to me.

    Well I have plenty of necessary projects that I need to get done in 2024, the biggest one is finishing the inside of the garage. I won't put them on the list.

    - get rid of junk
    - more organization with my tools
    - have a better garden
    - plant some trees in the woods
    - have a more positive outlook

    The only ambition I have is work, and I don't even enjoy it. I'd just rather not be unemployed. I really can't remember the last time I did anything fun, at least for myself.
