So anxious to get out and work on some wood

[Kenster]

I'm down with an injured hamstring and some shoulder issues but I'm chompin' at the bit to get out into the woods and doing some splitting. My neighbor and I plan on getting together and attacking a bunch of trees he has downed recently. We will use my Huskee 35 ton splitter. He will have already bucked the wood up. We'll work together to split all the rounds, then we will divide the fruits of our labor 50/50. Sounds like a good deal to me.
I've got probably a cord of Water Oak rounds that have been stacked for almost two years. I need to get all of that split and stacked. Then, there's a bunch of down stuff out in our woods that need to be bucked up. The tops are probably burnable right now. The trunks will still need a couple of years.

I keep thinking...."maybe if I just go slow I'll be alright" but I know I'm better off waiting another couple of weeks so I won't have a set back. Plus... my bride won't let me, so there's that.

I feel ya. I have a lot of rounds I just collected, and then the snow hit. Same thing happened last winter. I had scored about 2 cords worth of rounds, and the snow fell. And it lasted for about 4 months. Should be around 60 on Monday, hopefully I can get the rest of it split before it snows again.

Hope you heal well enough to get your chores done.

I too am chomping, just not cold enough yet for me. I have a dozen poplar selected (14"-22") to fall when it gets cooler. Too warm and the snow makes for wet feet. Will have those trees dropped, cut, split and piled by February 1st. Stacking after the snow melt.
