Right on schedule

I did that one year.Had an empty Scotch bottle,taped some sprigs from Juniper shrubs in front yard for the greenery on it.Plus when Christmas was over it was a fine candleholder for New Year's Eve.

LOL I was just thinking the same thing thistle.

Dennis if you need a hand cutting anything this year let me know!

Good work helping out the neighbor with the pine. Always the right thing to do IMO. And I know what you mean about the aches. My back is just now feeling better after pulling a muscle in Oct. I always try to take it easy and not overdo it. I'm semi-retired so it's easier to pick my days and spread it out a little. I remember what it was like when working full-time, rasing kids, etc., as I'm sure many on here still do.

Do you burn the pine? I don't have or get much, but have no problem with some of for the shoulder seasons.

AJ, yes, we'll burn it but not this year. Although perhaps we could burn it this year as I was amazed at how dry it is.

They say I'm retired but I've been so tired for so many years I don't see how it can be re-tired.

Wow Griff. That did some damage. Hard cutting when they are like that too. However, it is not all bad. You got some really good firewood. lol
