Long afternoon

I'm getting closer to finishing my firewood cutting for the comeing winter. Spent the morning doing some maintainance on the Kubota, the splitter, and adding 12" to the sideboards of the dump trailer.
I started splitting and loading wood at noon. Finished the load at 6:30. Should be 2 full cord on the trailer ?? Had very little limb wood in this load. Split big beech blocks to fill this load. Couldn't lift the blocks, so all of them had to be lifted with the ginpole and set on the splitter bed, but still a lot of bull work to split them.
Wish my heart problems/angina would subside like today. Was able to work all afternoon at my pace with no nitro pills, and filled the trailer. BP was up tonight, but no chest pain.
One more load like this should do it for the winter.
There were probably 4 dozen grubbs the size of my thumb in the hollow blocks, plus bunches of smaller ones. Need a pet skunk to feed them to. HeHe.

well a cord is 8ftx8ftx4ft so measure it out, two full is a lot of stuff on a trailer. FYI, 11 is a semi load(logger truck + trailer).
I have a long way to go on wood but running out of room to stack it up. At crude estimate we burn has to be close to 20 cord a year, between: shop, house, and greenhouse(big outdoor burner feeds all). We use anything for wood: skids, boards, timbers, cabinets, tree wood.... so now there are skids and boards and what not everywhere I look.

get chickens for the grubs, eggs then meat
 
Holy cow were you ever busy! Love that CASE machine. I want one just the way yours looks. NEET! In New York state in the middle of the summer is the Woodsman Show in Boonville, New York. It takes up the entire fair grounds with all kinds of wood cutting and handling equipment. I got there last year and was just floored. Sthil and Husqvarna both have entire buildings with all kinds of saw and equipment EACH. You see saws there that you didn't even know they made. You should see the GIRLS chainsaw competition. Wouldn't want to tangle with a couple of those babes. Huge tree harvesters and automatic splitters and on and on. Any of you guys who can get to that show you should. Your wood stove would love to come along and take a look too!
 
Those beech logs bring back memories of splitting wood for my dad using a maul and a wedge. Lots of limbs and knots. It could take up to 15 minutes just to split them in half. Sure kept me in great shape in those days.
