Just thinking the other day....

It is about time I get back on Hearth(get pretty busy from March to late Summer). I dropped a Hickory in my yard this past March. Went to get my splitter up on the hill(it ran when I parked it 3 months ago), now it won't fire or get gas. Some days you're the nail, others you're the hammer. Had a UTV winch and water pressure sprayer go out the last few days aswell.

But should be good for this year and half of next at this point.

Baby #2 is due on December 1st so we need-I need to be ready lol.

Looks nice, Hickory rocks!

Having another little one around (or anticipating one) sure kicks the hoarding instinct into high gear, doesn't it? Prayers for a safe and uneventful delivery for mama and the baby.

++1 on this and congrats on the new one!

Congrats on the little one, and good luck with the splitter. Nice profile pic as well.

Ha, we live on the 35 acres I grew up on. I moved back in 2012 after my old man passed so we were behind on wood. And never really got caught up until a few years ago. My first son was born in November of 2013. As we all know how that winter was. I remember having him in a crib next to the woodstove(poorly burning) with momma in the recliner while the power went out during a snow storm and -20 windchills outside. So now I am prepared haha.

Bad Magneto, armatures we're separated. $20 or so and the wood splitter should be up and running.

Mother Nature sure laughed at my cool season thoughts! 102-103-104-105 The next four days. Blah.

Gonna have to build yourself a little shed and put some Ac in it to work!

 

[bfast250]

It's good wood drying weather

All split and stacked. Little over halfway on my year two. FIL has three 20' x 18"dia logs at the house I need to cut and split(hickory and post oak). Then I have a white oak that is about 20" in dia. that dropped in an ice storm last year....


Found this bad boy in my splits. Boy that would have pizzed me off. This tree wasn't where I would have pictured a fence!

 

[Lloyd the redneck]

Interesting!

I couldn't for the life of me figure out why my fiskars looked like someone hit a bunch of nails with it, then I found some nails in my black walnut splits when i was stacking them. I guess that answered that.

Then i went to go split a bunch of spruce rounds, and i came across a whole mess of metal wire weaving through the split. It looked like someone tied it around branches when it was small, and 60 years later, it was still there...

Yesterday's oak. Not ideal cutting weather in MO ha
