    As the title says, it’s been a while since I posted here. Just kinda fell off. But I still check in. Regardless, I also hadn’t cut wood in a while. I have a good supply and sort of focusing on getting new inventory when it’s easy. My property has ravines and unfortunately the best wood is in tough spots. This BL showed up and I had to scratch that itch. With all the craziness in the world, running the chainsaw clears the mind.

    The pile doesn’t look like it but there’s a lot in there. And not too heavy. Got one truck load, going back for more. I burned the most locust I ever have this year and loved it. It was a good three years dry, if not four. Have some stuff that will be three years dry this winter. After that might have a gap year. But I got other stuff.
    Anyways, hope everyone is doing well
