    If I had firewood to cut and stack I'd be doing this.. Still need 3 cords for my outside stacks here :( On the bright side my shelter is loaded for next heating season..

    I do the laundry so the boss can avoid the knee thing. That gets rid of most of the stair climbing.

    Spent the day battening down the hatches, cleaned up a bunch of old stuff in the front - supposed to be getting some bad weather tomorrow, the Tornado type:mad:
    Got some plants moved from around a big white oak out front, hopefully the rain holds off and my tree guy can get it on the ground tomorrow early am, I didn't realize how bad the base was until I was doing the mulch beds on Friday. I would drop it but it really needs to be pieced down about 12' from the house and the rotten tap root makes it more complicated

    In my experience, they only die with a full tank. What fun would the job be if there wasn't any siphoning to do?

    Only about 10" to 14", but they were tall. The biggest was at least 70'. They loaded my trailer, and their truck and trailer, drove it to my house, then took me to the bar.

    Now that's how this is supposed to work.

    I'll be bringing a load home every night this week. Only 4 miles away.

    Even a blind squirrel gets a nut once and a while. 1398642398535.jpg

    That will go nicely with this in a couple years.
