    Well guys after a long absence I'm glad to be back. On April 5th I was diagnosed with APL Leukemia! Wow!.. Long story short...I'm in 100% remission and the Doctors are shaking their heads as to my recovery rate. Praise God is all I can say. Though the Chemotherapy was pretty intense I am doing fine. Just finished my 1st phase of out patient care with 2 more to go. So glad I listened to some of the old timers on this site. Sitting on roughly 55 face cords of wood half of which is all seasoned and ready to burn. Glad to be back in the game....:)

    Glad to hear you are in remission.
    I got a rude awakening this spring. I had major abdominal surgery in Jan. I had last seasons wood ready to go, but had stove problems and was running through like mad before it was fixed. We got through the season but was burning some Jan split Ash.
    Now have all of next season's wood split and stacked. Several rows of Honey Locus and Oak for a start of a three year plan.
    I get a lot of ash and have about half of 2018/2019 CSS.

    Always good to hear bad news turn into good news. Still that must have been a tough road you went down for awhile. Always good to be back doing the things we like.

    Well I like reason #3894!!! Congratulations to you Nordic! That's making the Devil run the other way as He should. As for the wood, yes indeed, this is one of the number 1 reasons for the 3 year plan.
