    Splitting wood is not only much easier this time of year you also don't sweat. I expect pictures later today on the progress Fitz!

    :tu:



    You know what they say about wood heat. It heats you up twice. Once when you split it and once when you burn it.

    We have always called popple "Gopher" wood. It burns quick and you have to "gopher" another piece.

    Looks like a great workout! Have fun!

    Water break...

    I wish it were colder out. It's 20 and I'm sweating like crazy. Time to go down to a Tshirt!
