    Celebrated Christmas yesterday at my mothers so I needed to get out today and burn some calories (WAY too much good food) so I grabbed the Stihl, the Fiskars and Doug and bucked up, split and stacked a bunch of ash I had waiting for me. Here is a picture of Doug taking a well deserved break.

    We listened to the Packers game while we cut. Doug really likes Julius Peppers, while I'm a Clay Mathews fan.

    We should make that into a jingle for a commercial for wood burning!

    Yeah, he's a hard worker but he's kind of inconsistent in the lengths he bucks to, so I try to do most of the cutting.

    Well he does have a license but not the right kind to drive the truck, otherwise I would let him. :)
