Steel toes-check, eyes and ears-check, bug spray-D'OH!,

Essential tools are......essential.

 

Yup...

 

Daughter slept, then decided to go to recital. Got her hair done before too! The older one danced already. Did great! Hopefully I don't fall asleep before the wee one gets up there!

Lord, I apologize.

 

Hang in there Dad.

 

Wow. I could have used a mini bike tonight. To go between my son's baseball game/field and the school across the road to the dance recital. I ran back in forth between dances to see my son play and the girls dance. Son won his game and the girls did great. I was able to see both of them dance both of their dances in there groups, but missed the finale. (Perfect. LOL) Between splitting wood, mowing grass, and that kind of a night I am pooped! Having a cold one in the chair. Very close to completely horizontal.

 

Skeeters have been out full force for a while now. Bad enough in the evening that I look like a wacky inflatable waving arm flailing tube man trying to keep them away!

Ah... the Maine Wave...

 

Nice work Gasifier, you won't find much the American CLS won't split.

 

What types of wood are you splitting?

 

White Ash, White Pine, a little White Spruce, a little Maple.

 

Sounds good, it just started raining here, how's the weather in your area?

 

Rained a little, sprinkling when I got up. Stopped now. Looks like it could rain any time.

I made eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast for all and wife is cleaning it all up. I'm headin out.

 

Well, I split wood for three hours this morning. Wife and kids helped me stack it so we made some real good progress. Then it was time to relax for a little while and have lunch with my parents. They came down to our house. My wife wanted to use up some veggies and burger so she threw a meatloaf together and had it ready for 12:30. Salad and French fries to go with. And my parents brought those Nestle Nutty Ice Cream cones for desert. Man, talk about a nice lunch! We visited for a while after and when they went home I got out and cut all the grass at the house. Now I should be able to stay on top of it all. Camp grass is now under control and will need it again Wednesday. If I need a break from splitting wood tomorrow I may even start on it then and do half Tue. and half Wed. Now we are at my son's baseball game. The weather is awesome. Nice breeze, sun and a little clouds.

 

Good to see you finally got to use it
I bet it's nice to have a splitter standing by to use when ever you want

 

Some progress made. I forgot what type of wood ZAP told me the silver and black stuff is. C.R.S. Kicking in again. Came into some of that Maple from those twos trees I took down back at the camp. Rain stopped me today, amongst doing some other things. But I got some split and the wife and kids came out and stacked it all! Yeah!

Do you think trees are tough? That piece of Ash has been cut since the winter months. It is cut at both ends and is sending some shoots out.

 

Nice job Gasifier, looks like you have a chit load of wood.

How much rain did you get, it hardly rained here. I think Potsdam and Norwood received a good amount of rain.

About 5:10 tonight Rutland Vermont had a Tornado Warning.

 

What type of wood did you think that was in the first picture again ZAP?

 

I came into some Elm in the pile today. I use to dread when I came into the Elm when splitting by hand. The American does not care what it is. I am enjoying the hydraulics immensely!

 

A young poplar.

I have to go sharpen some chains.
