Smash,

   Wish I lived closer, I would have been there as well. I was actually doing the same for the old man. I did not get enough split & ranked this summer past, and I am behind the eight-ball. I cut & chunked three pickup loads of red elm Friday and split most of Saturday.

I like the exercise (although my back is sort of bendy right now), but it seems like all my other projects which need doing, still need doing.

I can't complain, though. Just trying to pay the parents back for what they went through in raising me. Sigh! That means I have got a lot more wood to cut!

Here is a pic of a month ago when the chief was feeling better:
