I get up this morning and head out for my morning run. As I walk by the pile of ash rounds in the driveway I notice that it isn't all ash anymore! There's now river birch and cherry rounds tossed in with it.;? I look closer and see that there's enough rounds to make up for the 10 or so rounds I split of the ash.:)

Turns out my buddy's son took the trees down for someone and knew exactly where to put the wood:cool: . If this keeps up I'll be set through 2016 by the end of summer.

Before too long your gonna need to hire someone to split all that wood for you. You better get cracking!
 
Why would you be running when there's plenty of exercise to be had splitting? :cool:

I have the Air Force Half Marathon on 9/15 and I'm hoping to break the 1:50 for a new personal record. After that there's going to be lots of time to split, after a morning if deer/duck hunting of course.

And I loaned my splitter to a friend.

From the looks of some of them, it's a good thing you have a splitter.

You have to take the good with the bad when the firewood fairy delivers.

Being 2016 wood, you have some time to get it split & seasoning.
Cooler weather is a better time to split anyway.

I can relate to large dumps. A few weeks ago I had Thai food that didn't sit well with me.

The only time you would see me running is if someone was chasing me with a knife
 
This is my second half marathon this year. I started training for the first one in January so I've been in snow, ice, sleet, mud, rain, and lots of heat. I love it!

I texted the fairy to thank him and he said that there's more coming!

FV, I have a half in October, I'm aiming at about 8:30 pace, so a little slower than you. Best of luck on yours, be sure to let us know how you did!
 
Which one you doing?
 
I just found out that there is going to be a small one in my hometown up the river to the next town up. I don't even know the name of it, just that it's Oct 13th.

Well, the firewood fairy stopped by again. Nice truck bed full birch....man I've got a lot of work to do.

So . . . to get a firewood fairy of my own do I need magical fairy dust . . . or do I have to just believe? ;)
 
Believe and have great friends....also don't call him that to his face, he might get offended and stop bringing wood.
