Red Oak types are the most common wood here, and they seem to die at a higher rate than some of the other trees. I've got a few more dead standers due to the drought last year. My stacks have a lot of Oak that will be ready, starting a year from now.
I'm not getting any younger, and have had a couple muscle strains this year from handling wood. I don't work steadily on the stacks; I tend to dive in and work hard for a while, then take a break. I might have to start exercising to get in better shape so I'm always ready to go. I would be way ahead but I supply wood for some in-laws as well.

We have lost a ton of the big oaks and with my bad back, I cant do much about it. I have only gotten about a face cord so far this summer.
The heat and my back just say leave it alone...
Keep up the good work and I hope your in-laws appreciate the effort.
