This entry will not win any prizes, but it truly defines cooked, fried, toasted, baked and burnt. All words that describe how I feel after some heavy lifting today. We had two major league dead trees taken down, (and one live one) and it was my wife and I assigned to cleanup. (Whose idea was that?) Well, the tree guy did cut everything to fireplace length thank god! Both trees were over 100 years old, the larger one 27" at the cut line.
Started stacking yesterday while the beans were cooking away on the WSM
It was BIG oak (smoking wood for everyone!) and leaning toward our house. Needless to say, it had to go.
The next one was actually two - he had to cut one to make room for the big one to fall. Lucky us - more stacking!
So no entry today, but I'll be back tomorrow for something simple, and again Sunday for something fun. Then on to splitting...
