A celebratory time

We have been full of celebration this last few days. Celebrating the fact there is nothing wrong with the chainsaw.



We have a rule about cutting wood, it's measured in tankfuls for the chainsaw. A tankful is about 3/4 of a ton of wood, the amount can vary depending on the mix of hardwood and softwood little stuff and monster logs. It's a good way as the tankful knocks on in the amount of axing and stacking needed. Hardwood being that much harder to process.


This time of year we try to get through about a tankful a week. This last 2 days we have done 4 tankfuls. I could say I feel invigorated, I could also lie.


I am currently in bed with that sadistic monster the student, my sole consolation is that she's in as much pain as me.
