Why look at how beautiful the emperor's (@Cowboy254) new load of firewood is! Isn't it beautiful fellas? I've never seen such a splendid display of a wheelbarrow full of new firewood. It's not as if I forgot to take a picture until after it was stacked or anything.

The second load of new firewood is not quite as beautiful.

The third load is just standard highly valuable black walnut.

Red elm, rock elm, box elder, willow, sumac, ironwood

This is Harry's last posting in some time.

We haven't heard from Harry for about ten days now. He said he was feeling badly. He's in the early Covid-19 area and may be 80 years old or so.

Wishing Harry the best!

How did I not say Black Cherry, did anyone say Black Birch?

How many are we still missing Steve?

Lots of snow here still. Ended up getting the snowmobile stuck several times near the cabin where nobody had ridden all winter.

My woodpile stacks look good. Almost full too.

Got out while we are still able to get out and cut a heap of firewood with my brother in law for his household and my parents as well. I figure it’s going to be important for them to keep the house warm this winter (we live in a tropical area so it doesn’t get too crazy) so they don’t pick up any other bugs that might complicate the big bug we are all trying to avoid. My 460 magnum’s first run with a new 25 inch stihl light bar and full chisel chain. My brother in law is a Husky guy and ran his 372xp. They both chewed up a mix of dead red gum, blue gum, and ironbark. One re-sharpen on each saw for this whole lot, two tanks of fuel each. It certainly helps when there is no bark to hold dirt and blunt your chain.

2 more loads tonight. Some perfect diameter poles and some good solid 15" diameter ash. Will be getting more of the ash tomorrow. Still so much more to get.

How much space is in the cabin.

Now that's the stuff. Whereabouts are you, mate? Near QLD/NSW border, inland a bit - guessing from the trees?

Venus is low in the western sky right now. Big and bright.

I’ve had a lot of trouble burning “red” gum over the years - even when dry it can still split all stringy and not burn the best. We were glad to get a heap of ironbark, although it was a bugger to get up into the higher truck bed. It was a tipper though so saved on unloading
