Sunday Pic of the Day

[Hem]

Saturday afternoon " get her done".
Still faster than a hydraulic splitter.
I think it's time for a tasty hazy.

Wait a few years and you won't want anything to do with that block of steel on a stick.

Wife's travels of Acadia National Park.

Acadia is one of the most underrated yet spectacular of all the National Parks... the Schoodic Peninsula side is not to be missed.

What is a few years?

 

[Redmt]

What is a few years?

More than a couple. I used to split with a mall because I had to. Then because I wanted to. Back to because I had to. Still used it even though I detested it. Now I have a 34 ton splitter.

There lies the difference.
I've been splitting by hand for close to 50 years. Still get satisfaction from the process. Lodgepole is gravy anyway.

Wussies? Ha...the only thing I use is a chainsaw and a truck to haul it off the mountain. Everything else is manual.
Your pile there is only possible with heavy machinery.
Oak is nasty to split, cut my teeth on that chit.

What's yer point? I gotta risk life and limb working the side hills with a dozer, set chokers and drag it out to a flat spot then buck it down so I can grab it with the 4 in 1 on the backhoe, load it in the stinkin dump truck haul it home to cut it up and then split it. Thinking about it, I'd take the grizzly. Screw this firewood crap.
