I need to burn some this year for a place to store this. This will not be burnt for several years. I'm glad to say that I am a few years ahead.
Awesome!

Today I split four loads of pine and then brought it over to the outside fireplace. After I started the fire, I ran around the trails picking up another five loads of dead pine branches that were reduced to ashes.

Dragged this oak out of the woods with the log arch and grapple, bucked it with the Dolmar PS 510, got a dusting of snow on it, and split and stacked it today in the cool sunshine before the big snow forecast for tomorrow:
Forecasting 15" tomorrow, didn't want to lose it.

And, after a day off for some snow plowing, I'm back at it. Grabbed a broom from the garage to sweep off the chopping block, the top of my partial pile, and to clean off the rounds laying around under the snow.
No snow here in southwest Mi, five miles from the big lake.
Freezing temps and occasional rain.
I bought a wire brush for my kit, for frozen dirt.
I sometimes get in the dirt with the forks moving logs to the log deck.
Snow is coming!

My good neighbor dropped a nice tree off. About 24' diameter ash. Got 5 crates of wood. Some dead trash branches with, but I can't complain. My 3 1/2 year old son stood on rounds next to splitter and i set splits on them and he loaded 1 crate before he got cold. Super nice straight stuff for the most part. Had about 10 wheel barrows of trash after splitting, my wife helped clean up most of it. Most burnt up. Splitter took about 30 pulls to start. Not sure why so cold blooded, was about 36 today.
Last 2 crates stacked really nice. May have to try do more that way. Bit hard to do with my little helper tho!

There is the "stack" that is the reserve....I have really been slacking the last 2 years. 
That’s bigger than a giant sequoia.

Heh yea....24' or 24"....you get the drift!!
You have something capable of picking that up?
I got the four way wedge, six way wedge and box wedge. Only have had time to play with one day when not so muddy. Did a face cord of wood in about 15 minutes all by myself. I get a couple guys working with me and sure we can put out wood quicker. Used the box wedge. We will see if I end up switching to one of the other wedges for smaller stuff. Right now the bigger stuff is on top of the pile.

Seldom right...Always opinionated!
Super jealous! That's my dream splitter. Let me know how the box wedge works. That is one of the items about the EM that interests me a bunch. I get lots of big wood but do get some knarly stuff like elm and sugar maple.
