My older one lab in the first pic with the shirt on had 2 masses removed one from his left side the size of your hand. The other one was a small one on the right side of his joule. So he is on light duty. As you can see I had him out but he was not to leave the driveway. At least the results came back as non cancerous, so he should bounce back quickly.
 
Natures super cedars. Super pine! Not a bad use time waiting for the kids bus. One old stump probably will yield two or three boxes.

Finally finished the wood from the first pic yesterday (and just in time as it's snowing now). Ended up with 8 cord in the shed (less now since I've been burning) and a little over 4 cord split and stacked outside.

Pretty soon I'm going to get going on wood again, your setup looks awesome. Im going to try the round holzhousen stacks this year.
 
Im going to try the round holzhousen stacks this year.

I considered doing one of those this season but didn't scrounge enough firewood. I only want to build one of those once I get to a point where I'm stacking wood for three years down the road. Stacking in one of those doesn't season as well so I want to give the wood plenty of time.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been stacking between trees but I'm tired of cleaning up splits after wind storms. I have very little cleared flat land and I haven't gotten to building a woodshed yet.

Are you done on the house for the winter or has that work just moved inside?

Storm moving in tonight, supposed to snow for 5-6 days, drop up to 6” over the week, we’ll see. Got my wood covered, I made a little awning on the splits so I can still get in and get wood if needed, the pile on the ground is 7-8 cords in rounds, little redneck but hopefully does the job. Got some wood moved to the garage also. Should be set for a few weeks until the shop gets built
 
I didn't get any pics today, had an early thanksgiving at my parents. But I stacked a little wood and just got ready for the week splitting kindling and having the garage full for the coming week. Nice job MMH ,HitzerHillbilly, and EODMSgt looks like everyone was in the same mind frame this weekend.

This is a widowmaker I saw on my trip through the woods the other day, I'll let mother nature finish what she started.

Just filled the garage back up along with the kindling barrel. There was not a lot of wood used this week but since it was dry today and they are calling for rain the next couple of days it seemed like a good day to get it all filled back up.

We have heavy snow coming in the next few days so today is moving wood into sheds day.

We're in for 1-3 from what I saw earlier, how much are they calling for in your area?
 
Working on splitting the summer scores. Trying to get a couple years ahead.
