I wouldn't burn that much in 20 years. Lol. Wow.
But I also do everything by myself. One man show here.

i can remember those days trying to work, draggin that left foot behind, my heel hurt so bad, i was ready to throw in the towel. My surgeon told me i was too young for surgery and to wait till i couldn't stand it any more. I was there ready to get cut open. Then he recommended shots in my back. Luckily that helped and i get another every couple months to starve off surgery.

I have never hurt my back one time lifting something heavy but I'm sure years of it has taken its toll. I'm always doing something pretty innocent when it goes out. Last time I was picking up a shovel of loose dirt out and away from my body. One time I had locked the door at night and when I turned around it went. Another time I was cleaning out the wood boiler with the wire brush when it locked up. As I get older it has been happening more often and lasts longer but I guess that's just due to prolonged damage.

what really sucks is the only options for pain meds they have is one step from being a full blown junkie!

And those things really mess some people up.

I stay away from them for 2 reasons. 1 is it takes 2-3 times the prescribed dosage plus a couple beers to do much for me and I know that's no good. And the second reason is how easily people get addicted to them.

I can relate... certainly gives no warnings... "danger, danger, I am about to go out!"

no need to feed it, just starve it off!

My back issues may not have been the same, but after the chiropracter could not help he suggested an MRI. I could barely make it a day through work or do much of anything because of ciatic pain in leg, back, etc, so I didnt have much choice because I had to do something about it. MRI was read by both Dr. and chiro and both agreed that it was an obvious bulged disc pushing on ciatic nerve. Scheduled surgery ......I limped in with a kane and honestly walked out of hospital with no kane and feeling SO much better. They performed a laminectomy(trimmed bulge and roughed up area on disc so scar tissue would form and prevent further bulging). Back surgery is a scary thought, but mine sure turned out great and so worth it. Short recovery too, only a 1 to 1 half inch incision.

I have about 4 weeks of working time left. This summer hasn't gone as planned. There have been mechanical breakdowns and bodily breakdowns. Haven't done any work on the wood pile since last Monday. Bad back pain and a slight numbing in my left foot. MRI revealed a bulging/herniated disk. Trying to just power through but have been dragging my left foot. Damn this sucks! Lol

I'm sorry to hear that. You put up an impressive amount of wood and should be proud. Mechanical breakdowns are always gonna happen eventually and there's never a good time for them to happen. Hopefully you get your back sorted out.

Tonight's splitting area .

 

[Circle B MN]

Three rows stacked in the shed, two more to go. Been too hot to do much else but stack. I'm tempted to have some more footing dug and start another shed....

I had a woodchuck living in my polebarn where I store my wood. He loved laying on the wood and look out one of the open windows. Hope I didn't screw up my firewood in there by getting it splashed with a bunch of blood. Wife did not want me to take pictures

I've swatted a few groundhogs round here that looked pretty rough, but for the most part they are harmless. As for being in the woodshed, long as he don't start chucking wood we could likely work something out....

last woodchuck I took care of was with the 7mm rem. mag. not much left...
