Lumberjack



For the second Saturday in a row I returned to the Island Timberlands woodlot, about 20 minutes from home, for round #2 of chainsawing & chopping. I'm beginning to think that the folks who do this for a living are a bit sadistic. It's brutal work.

Woke up at 5am and was out the door by 6:45am. The weather was beautiful and luckily there was a slight breeze. My truck was filled by noon so I packed it in. By my estimation I was able to grab about a cord of wood. Not bad for $30.00 and 5 hours of work. Now comes the splitting and the stacking...ugghh.
