Welcome to the GM thread, WoodChuckDad!
Around noon yesterday I snipped the zip ties holding a tarp over the burn pile and lit it off, than sat off to the side in the side-by-side watching it grow. There was a nice breeze from the south that fanned the flames, and after a half hour, most of the light brush was ashes. Fired up the tractor and moved more brush onto the fire, then started bringing in downed trees and limbed them, throwing the limbs into the fire. That went on pretty much the rest of the day, and I was able to get through four trees. Still a lot to go, but it's a start. Rain is supposed to begin around noon, and before that the wind will pick up, so I'll go out again with the tractor and bank the coals one more time in hopes the embers won't be cast around. Things are still pretty wet, but after the recent Colorado fire, one can't be too cautious.
Other than that, it's an inside day, probably get caught up on some paperwork.
Hope everyone gets a good start on this first Monday of the new year!
