I sold off 43 cord. The bottom of the pile was junk. That now reside off in the woods to rot away. Last year I had 14 cord stacked. There was 4 for me to burn and the rest was sold off. Right now I think I have about 2 cord split and 6 - 8 needing to be split. There are 6 Ash trees all bucked up waiting to be brought in.

It got nailed down.What happened to the floor covering thread?
That's awesome.
I think I'm about where you're at currently, around 2 cord I split last spring I'll put right in the woodshed for next season, the 6-8 in rounds, when I'm splitting that this spring/ summer I'll separate anything that was dead standing or cut two yrs ago and put it in to finish off next seasons wood. I only need 7 cord total to fill both sides, so there will be a bit left over to refill for 29-30 or to sell, then I have a lot of logs to buck whenever I get to that. Really wish the logs in front of the barn weren't there, that being said, in another 10yrs I'll wish I had more
.I need to do an Ash tree count to see how many more that need to come down. Yesterday I found a dozen more near my house that have to come down. Damn EAB got to them. A few are dying from Ash blight that we had 5 - 6 years ago.That's awesome.

Sort of came up with a plan, we'll revisit this topic in the future after all the other stuff is taken care of.What happened to the floor covering thread?
Secondary roads ended up being very slippery. I guess there was enough residual cold in the roads to freeze up. We made it though.
I checked the beehives I have on the back of my property today. I have only lost from that apiary. I think the one that does just didn't have a big enough cluster going into winter.
There was still plenty of honey in the hive. I will be able to extract it and use it for something once it's a little warmer outside. I think the unusually long cold weather also contributed to that one colony's demise. They maybe would have survived in a warmer year, but this year was just too cold.
I didn't get a chance to check the hives at the neighbor's woods today. I'm hoping I can get back there later this week or weekend if the weather is good. And as long as it's not too muddy.

Here is the pile today. It is a bit bigger than the picture that I posted up yesterday.

Today I installed mirrors on my tractor loader. I made up some mounting plates welded to angle iron pieces. The one factory mirror that I have is too low to be useful. For some reason the left side of my tractor has more vibration than the right side. The right side is pretty steady. The left one is pretty blurry. The mirrors will swing in if hit. I may have to install smaller mirrors.
