up a couple Junipers and our skinner little Live oaks ...

Of the Troops & For the Troops

Had a storm come through here last weekend that knocked over 15 trees on the property, mostly Tamaracks which will make good firewood, but also a 100' tall white pine that I may try to have cut into boards. Thankfully none of them fell on any buildings or equipment stored outside.

Try a little more this morning. It's already 67 degrees and I'm wringing wet.

That's a lot of work Lynn, I though you retired.

I know it sounds twisted but before all the shoulder surgeries one of my most favorite things to do was split oak rounds. To hit them square several times then hear the next hit make that totally different pop sound was like taking the lead in the 440 yard dash. You KNEW you were going to win. Unfortunately too many heavy concrete tank lids over the last 18 years means my wood splitting days with a maul are about done.

Fished the tree Saturday before mid day. All that's left is the butt & one crotch piece. Took the last load to the wood pile.
