    Cool. If it gets the job done that's all that matters. How many cords do you think you have stocked up?

    I had a dbl hernia about 10 years ago. The surgeon went in from my belly button with a scope. No scars. Recovery was fast. Days, not weeks as I recall. You'll be back at it in no time. The worst part was not the actual hernia but to the muscles that the instruments had to push through to get to the hernia.

    I started splitting my fall/winter horde this past weekend. Mostly oak, Hickory, ash, sugar maple, with some apple and plum. There's around 7-8 full cord here. Once this is all split and stacked, it'll put me at around 50 full cord...... that's around 6 years ahead!!

    Got around a quarter cord split and the logsplitter starting making a chattering pulse, I was worried the pump was going but quickly found the culprit......the belt finally gave up the ghost! Found a replacement Goodyear belt at the local surplus store for.....get this.....one dollar!!!

    If you're going to keep hoarding like this it looks like it's almost time to invest in a truck to save the interior of your Jeep!
