The issue I have with this angle is it doesn’t accurately show either the depth of the pile, or the full logs along the bottom of the barn, and the stacks at the back by the old fence closer to those Pine/Douglas Fir trees. There is quite a bit of chainsaw work to do here, and once splitting season starts in 2027 (ha!) it will take all of September, October, and much of November to get through it all splitting by hand with my axes. I’m going to have strong hands, shoulders, and back muscles by then, holy cow!
It was supposed to rain a lot harder this morning, so I didn’t take any tools with me on the dog walk. But that’s ok, because I have paid work to do today, so I’m otherwise occupied. But if I hadn’t have had any work I’d be miffed at myself for not bringing at least the smaller saw just in case. If the weather is nice on Thursday or Friday I will get a start on processing this stuff too. I could leave it to do next year, but since I do not know when, or if any urban forestry people are going to drop off any more wood, I’d like to do what I can while I have easy access to it.
On another note we went back to climbing last night for the first time in a month, and it was all good. We have memberships now, so we can go whenever we like. I’m excited! I wasn’t as rusty as I had feared after the gap in attendance. I was still able to complete a few brand new (to me) 5.8’s, so that’s a bit of all right! I did not venture to try any 5.9’s because I wanted my arms to not be fried this morning (as I have paid work to do). There were still a fair number of old routes still up on the walls, so it wasn’t as new feeling as I would have hoped for. But it’s fun, good exercise, and my youngest will actually do it, so it’s all good.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, the last one in November 2025! My how the time does fly.
