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.

For you guys doing remodeling. Great idea for a kitchen island. 
Ever see these Jim , ?https://www.5elevendesignz.com/product-page/magnetic-mirrors-pair
Padded drawers to !!
It looks like the mirrors are plenty wide around the seating position. If they stick out too far, can you reverse them? That is, mount the left mirror on the right side by either switching mirrors or the entire bracket you made or turn the arm so the mirror is on the inside of the mount. The detents in the arm may limit what options you have. Can always reweld the bracket at a different angle if needed. But nothing says they have to be outside of the bodywork like a car might.
Does this constitute as 'Scrounging'? A local builder, who I met, had these PT 2x10s next to his dumpster. He tried to use them as walk boards, but they were too slick to walk on. He said I could have them. Not many and most are only 6' long but enough to make raised beds for the garden. Scraped the clay off yesterday and will hose down today.
BIL found these 24"x60" granite countertops free. Wanted to know if I want any. I can't think of any use and I'm trying to get rid junk, so I don't know if I'll take any.

I hadn't seen those before. If the ones I have don't work out I will get a pair of those.
I need to practice this - sometimes I'm not very good at it.
I picked this up at the scrapyard yesterday, along with a couple toolboxes and some smalls. It didn't work at the scrapyard, but adding fluid and bleeding it fixed it right up.
If I had a metal scrap yard near me like you do, My garage would be full (more fuller) lol.
Yes I could flip the brackets from left to right. With the mirrors folded in they are inside the rear fenders. If I flipped them left to right the ROPS would be right in the middle of the mirrors.

Not a wheelbarrow, but I like your knew kitchen island.
Yeah, it's an improvement over the one @farmer steve showed - it's height adjustable! LOLNot a wheelbarrow, but I like your knew kitchen island.
Oh, if you only knew...
Got these a week ago for $15 - wife has talked about getting a set for a while (actually picked up 2 sets, 1 to keep and 1 to flip.) I could, and sometimes do, go there every day. I have major FOMO if I don't. LOL
