71 is awfully far along to be hand to mouth.

Or he has had many years of practice

My buddy (71 YO) only had 1/3 of his firewood put up as of last week but he has some standing dead ash he can utilize. He is poor for a reason...hardly ever plans ahead. If he gets hurt, he is in trouble as he cannot afford propane; and is at least a year behind on his property taxes. Offered to help him get some wood split and stacked but he is too proud for that.

I talked to my fiancé about it. We have an extra 5+ cords so we can "loan" him firewood if he gets into trouble. Last time I helped him out, it took a year to get 3 cords from him.

I'm 77 and I could use some help on my wood (just had major surgery on back) and did not get the wood put up . . . jk

Looks like it made a nice post...

I'm going to cut a couple down soon too, I need a couple 6x10's beams...

Actually the one standing is hemlock, the popple 6x6 is going on other side. Then the hard part, a 23' carrying beam to the mill building and we can only saw 20', it's sounding like red neck splice time with two 6"x9" ash beams I already have, might try some wooden welding rods, what'd you mean good good luck with that......

I went up to Michigan for a few days to visit my sister and raid her market.. "Cotants Farm Market" up in Hastings MI.

Spent a day canning tomatoes with her and brought a bunch back, along with some tomatoes to make salsa to can, jalepenos, and Jonathon and Honey crisp apples to eat and make apple sauce with. YUM!

And its not firewood cutting season, its getting close to firewood burning season though. Firewood cutting season is in the spring!

Oh you went on another road trip, fresh can tomato's is great on spaghettis, looks like a great haul. What you going to make with jalapenos, wake up sauce...........
I have 8 cord of tree length wood starring at me right now, in a couple weeks I'll be hard at it again. For me Sept to March is firewood season, spring is terrible time here to cut firewood. October is when my woodstove starts being more on then off.
