โ€œThese Logs Are Getting A Little Knotty!โ€๐Ÿคฃ
Free wood, is free woodโ€ฆ. right?๐Ÿ˜‡
โ€œSilvertop, you might not be able to park your truck close to the firewood, the construction guys have the โ€œUnder Constructionโ€ side street blocked!โ€๐Ÿฅฐ
โ€œUnder constructionโ€, is a bit of an understatement Lol!๐Ÿคฃ
See that Coors beer truck, blocking Silvertopโ€™s truck from leaving with my first load of firewood?
The tractor sank into the soft sand on this โ€œTemporaryโ€ road, and was spinning out like it was in deep snow! I looked above this trailer to see a three phase electrical line only an inch or so from the top of this trailer!๐Ÿ˜ฌ
Now that would definitely leave a mark Lol!๐Ÿ˜ณ
Maybe everyone might get to enjoy some Free Coors Light Lol!๐Ÿ˜‡
Liz sent me a photo of the logs yesterday, but photos donโ€™t really capture the sheer diameter of these rounds!๐Ÿ™„
โ€œLiz, Iโ€™m in pretty good shape, and I canโ€™t pick up some of these logs!๐Ÿ˜ฌ
โ€œSilvertop, maybe you will need to bring your Ax with you on your next trip!โ€๐Ÿฅฐ
Silvertop has done this many times in the past, and that was my next plan of attack!โ˜บ๏ธ
Round two, I parked my truck within inches of the firewoodโ€ฆโ€ฆ..this should go nicely!๐Ÿค—
With logs this size, itโ€™s almost impossible to split down the middleโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ
I have learned that you โ€œSplit Offโ€ large chunks going around in a circle, then finish with a split down the middle!๐Ÿ’ช
With my mighty Fiskers X27 Ax in hand, I let a HARD blow strike the first large round!๐Ÿ˜…
My Ax BOUNCED!๐Ÿ˜ณ
Strike two, then three, then fourโ€ฆ..not even a tiny crack!๐Ÿ™„
I abandoned ship on that round, and went to another. I was able to successfully split the second log after many hard strikes๐Ÿ˜ฌ
Liz came outside to check on Silvertopโ€ฆโ€ฆ..
โ€œHowโ€™s it going Silvertop, I can hear you splitting through the walls inside!๐Ÿฅฐ
โ€œLiz, this Fir is so wet, I can see water coming out of the log when I strike it with my Ax!๐Ÿ˜ฎ
For hours, I picked through the logs to find ones I could split!
โ€œHoney, you need two strong men to pick up these logs, and a gasoline powered splitter!โ€๐Ÿค”
By afternoon I had two truckloads back home, and had all but given up on the balance of the wood pile!๐Ÿ™„
I texted Lizโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ..
โ€œOKโ€ฆ. I will try once again tomorrow morning, but some of these very โ€œKnottyโ€ rounds are beyond hand splitting!โ€๐Ÿ˜‡
Guys, sometimes you need to โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ
โ€œKnow when to walk away, and know when to run!โ€๐Ÿคฃ
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike ๐Ÿ˜Š

Free is indeed, good! It was interesting hearing your ax through the walls of the clinic! Crazy!

Best get there before 9 AM or you might have a longer haul of carrying anything you spit tomorrow! Parking is at a premium!

If you stacked wood like you stack silver coins, you'd be beyond rich living on a mountain-full of trees, except that part that got clear cut.

I have split Fir often, I think what was different about this particular tree, is that we are in summer and the sap is up the tree!!
It's extremely spongy, extremely wet, almost dripping!๐Ÿ˜ณ

Bingo, my friend, and that's precisely how things have been pushed for a long time, very, very slowly. They had to move things way ahead, and to push much harder than they usually do, which thankfully is waking hordes more people up, because it's all becoming so stupidly obvious! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

I wonder if you have tried putting fences sturdy enough to keep those wild pigs at bay from your planting beds (and your local jungle community in general). ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿค“

Aside from lava-rock walls, that's generally the only way to stop them, and in some places it's not very feasible. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

Some people do that, they completely surround their properties in fences, and that would be entirely infeasible for this property, as it's very large, and with several areas that are basically impassible. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

For areas that are impassable !INDEED, I don't think they would need to be fenced. ๐Ÿค” I understand the difficulty of fencing (very) large properties though. ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜…
