Whole different experience cutting firewood all day today compared to Saturday. Damn chilly today. Moving all of those fat oak rounds all by my lonesome kicked my ass, but the hard part is all done. Dreading getting out of bed tomorrow.

Considerably better than expected, actually. I guess all the exercise and stretching helps. Still, I'm doing next to nothing today but putzing around in the kitchen. Rendering beef tallow from trimmings from 3 briskets and packaging all of my squirrels today. I still have a sizeable Red Maple blowdown to cut up, but that is easy shit compared to large diameter Oaks. I probably should not being shit like that by myself. I need to make some younger friends, lol.
I've sold one load of firewood 15 years ago. $100 for prime seasoned oak and locust. I hope to never do it again. It's far to much work for the return income if you have little to no equipment. If a person was set up with equipment to only have to cut logs and not touch any wood (maybe limb wood only) itd be a different story. Prime truck loads of firewood are going for 200 dollars at the area auction currently.
Two heaping 8' truckloads cut and split is a heck of a day of labor. no fricking way id give that up for 400 let alone 170 if only using saw and splitter.
