Having the advantage of being years ahead bring new opportunities. Do I need to cut more or wait until stacks get lower ?
Yesterday was wet, today was cold so I didnt bother to cut any wood - any other year it would a priority. Another reason to be ahead - no pressure.
But, as Ive cut wood every year for the past twenty I felt the need to enjoy at a relaxed pace the pursuit of wood.

Nice feeling to not "need" to cut firewood, but have a choice. I would be cutting even if I was caught up to 3 year mark.

I am a couple of years ahead, but I always feel like I need to be css whenever my time allows me too. Great score there Bob.....

The deer and squirrels are going to be mad at you for dropping that perfect hickory tree!
 
As others have stated when you start to get years ahead, and are able to process at your convenience it seems more like fun instead of just work. Plus you seem to look forward to doing it at least that is how it is for me. You can also start to pick and choose the wood you want.

yeah dude!!! the name of the game is to be AHEAD of the game!! I have a friend from church that was contemplating burning wood for primary heat and I told him . . . yo- burning wood is a lifestyle choice. . . a good amount of your free time is going to be spent cutting wood splittin wood stackin wood cleaning up bark and whatnot. . .. but yeah when you go balls to the wall and get ahead then you have free time to do other stuff like fishing and hunting !
