Sept 24th -- So Out of Shape

A little warm but another nice day here today. Sunny with a high 80.

First things first. I have to wonder if Lydia might have the makings to be a plumber. She is able to handle the "plumbers crack" part of the job.

Mom & Doug arrived here last Wednesday evening and left yesterday before noon. We all helped do more work on Kelsey & Andy's house. I think we managed to get most of the things done, but there is still odds and ends to do.

Today I cut a little wood and found out how out of shape I am. I cut down two dead trees. The trunk of the small one was 8-10" in diameter and the larger one was 16-18" in diameter. I cut up all of the small one and part of the larger one. The trunk of the larger one, where it is large enough that it will need to be split, still needs to be cut up. I was POOPED after cutting just this much. Hopefully I will toughen up after a few more days of cutting <grin>.

This was our wood pile yesterday.

 And this is it today. Not a lot of progress considering I used a tank and a half of gas.

I probably need to cut at least a dozen times what I cut today, to have enough to get us through the winter.

We still have a lot of wood in another building, left over from last year. Even if I don't cut any more we probably have enough to get us through the winter, but I would like to keep the wood in the other building in reserve.

I hope you all had a good day. May God bless you and yours.
