Bringin' up da Wood

[Andries]

. . . .  That should be enough to last until January!  8) 

This is what I have for kindling to last 'til January . . 




You've spent a big part of your hot summer playing in the sandbox Lynn. 
Sure the heat hasn't clouded your judgement?  ;)  
Like Swampdonkey says, you need another 8.99 cords, my friend.
For @goose63 and I, that wouldn't last to the end of this month! 
You Southern guys pay for AC, us Northmen pay for heat.
. . . .  . either way, we pay for where we live our lives.  :D

[Andries]

 
Some of us look like this for a short six months of the year, y'know?

[thecfarm]

My wood pile is a growing too!!!

[Old Greenhorn]

Lyn, what you have there is a little over a week's supply for us. I am between to warm weather folks and the heavy deep freeze folks, so 5 cords usually gets us through OK. Here is my stack right near the side door by the stove. It's not quite filled up in this photo, but it is full now.


 

[Magicman]

Oh I have a bit more if needed.



Split stacked and ready.

[Al_Smith]

It's way too early in the year to even think about a fire .Most likely mid November if it's cold enough .Of late it could be December .Not that I mind as I'm not a fan of cold weather .

[Andries]

Well now, you've been playing your cards close to the chest, Lynn.
A secret, hidden stash.
That stack and the one in the background will get you through any 'glacial period' that Mississippi might throw your way.
You're SET.   :D :D :D

Meanwhile, it's snowing here.
First time this fall, and it won't stay, as the ground warmth will melt it.
But its a wake up call.
. . . and eventually you'll wake up to the same thing.
Keep your wood dry, boys.

[GRANITEstateMP]

Mr. Magicman,

Do you have your wood stacked up next to an A\C unit?  Is that one of dem oxy-mo-ron's? 

[Old Greenhorn]

I think this is Lyn's subtle way of of rubbing it in the nose of those in the great frozen north without saying it outright. But then again, he has sweated hi butt off for the past several months in a large sandbox, so I guess it is his turn.

[Magicman]

Surely no one thinks that I would do something sneaky??   smiley_curtain_peek

[Old Greenhorn]

Sneaky? Certainly NOT. But sarcastic, humorous, fun poking, gentle humble bragging even maybe. Yeah ALL DAY LONG. :D :D ;D :D ;D 8)

[Al_Smith]

 :D It's kind of fun to ring a few bells now and again .Mean while back on the ranch it's raining out,so much for that today .

[Old Greenhorn]

Indeed yes. A little fun helps break of the monotony of the chore, which in this case is one of the oldest known to humans and never ever ends. That of providing a a warm home and hearth.
 The sun came out yesterday for the first time all week and is fading away today again as a coastal storm passes to our south. The CT shore has a gale warning up.  We just have grey skies.
 My wood is done since late May, but I have plenty other stuff to do. More work with a pick ax tonight. Glad I am not in Mississippi with those temps down there. Mid 50's is just fine for me.

[WDH]

I don't care who you are, that pickled bologna was very sneaky. 

[Magicman]

Well now, you've been playing your cards close to the chest, Lynn. A secret, hidden stash.

Actually there is also another hidden stash.


 
This whack of unsplit rounds and slabs still at the farm.  ;D

[Andries]

With that much firewood tucked away, well, . . . .  people might start calling you a 'Prepper'. 
If you're getting highly secret, long term winter forecasts for Mississippi, like . . glaciated forecasts, send me a PM, k?
@goose63 and I will FedEx you some snow pacs, lobster mitts, toque and a parka . . . whoa!
Sorry buddy, you may not even know what the heck those things are.
My mistake -  ;) 

[WDH]

Never heard of any of those, except for the lobsters.  They are popular in Maine, right?  Boiled, broiled, but never fried . 

[Old Greenhorn]

Never heard of any of those, except for the lobsters.  

Count your blessings. :D
 Yesterday I began wearing my lightly lined work pants. There is a little nip in the air.

[Bruno of NH]

I broke out the long John's two weeks ago for some days
I'm getting soft used to wear shorts right up till December to work.
On to many meds now.

[goose63]

 

 

Just a light jacket for when it cools off



 

And some mittens for @WDH 

[Magicman]

Sasquatch lives!! 

[Andries]

Thanks Goose63.
Now that's good choices of clothing for putting up da wood!
👍

[Southside]

I will FedEx you some snow pacs, lobster mitts, toque and a parka

Togue?  Yuch, greasy paper bag wrapped thing. Might as well eat a Cusk. :D  Send him some smelt.  You have any Landlocks there?

[nativewolf]

 
Some of us look like this for a short six months of the year, y'know?

Yeah but what do you look like in winter  :D :D :D :D :D

[Andries]

Toque.
Its like a 'watch cap'.
Woolen, stretchy, covers the forehead, ears and rest of the noggin.
Warm. Thats why we like'em.
"... Togue?  Yuch, greasy paper bag wrapped thing. Might as well eat a Cusk. ..."
Goose and I wouldn't ever eat our hats, unless we really needed had to.
