    No more scrounging?

    I can't believe I did it

    Ya, I've done that. The two tanks are opposite positions on my two saws. No harm, all's well.

    This is just plain spooky.

    Rule No. 1: No robot shall harm a human or by inaction, cause harm to a human. etc. Isaac Asimov saw this coming.

    Waterlogged firewood drying time?

    Silent Splitting: version 2.0

    Bone dry load of locust delivered

    You got an extra bonus in that load of locust, what with the bark off of it. The bark on BL is so fat and thick that it takes up space from the real...
