    Red or white?

    I'd just pick that log up and put it in the back of the S-10 and haul it home...then you could make a pass on the mill whenever the mood struck you. :)

    That'll teach ya to have big saws. If all you had was a "wild thing" this wouldn't be a problem. %-P

    Yep I am really starting to think the wild thing is the answer. I will be getting a epa stove in the next couple weeks. Then I will not need that 10-12 cords a year. :lol:

    Have fun. There a lot of work but a lot of wood. I started to split the one I'm working on today. Even after quartering the pieces
    it is still a challenge to get them on the spliter plate. Seems like a lot of splits/round but you have to work for each one.
