    Splitting firewood

    We had wonderful weather today after a week of dreary rain and fog. I spent part of the day soaking up the sun by splitting and stacking firewood. Of course I had to celebrate the nice weather by wearing my Stillwater Weathered McKenzie. I have found it more comfortable to wear a kilt when doing yard work than being bifercated. Jake

    Did you use an ax or a claymore to split that pile?

    A claymore isn't weighted enough at the front to be effective for splitting wood. Though it does work much better on skulls.

    Hmm, having continual snow all day, with yestrays its about 6 inches in the garden, I could do with a fire to go with those logs...

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
