About 15-16 cords for me.Little over 2 in cramped backyard here,remainder at parents acreage 1 hr west.Most winters I burn 3 cord max for supplemental heat,last year was barely 2.After the heat past few weeks,I'm more than ready for some cold temps.

Ha, I know where you've been hanging out.
Here's the deal in our little cutting group. The most experienced guy does the felling, the fastest saw or saws limb & buck, everybody else splits & loads. I much prefer slinging a saw to hauling, splitting, loading, stacking etc.
If my saws get outrun, I will be back next weekend with something better. I don't care what it costs, how late I have to work to make the necessary mods. or what color saw I may have to buy.
I'm pretty sure I may have a problem, but if I keep denying the problem it's not real right? A C
I don't think that you have a problem ,or are even in denial. I believe that the problem is with those folks that just can't enjoy the zen of sawing .
Btw ... Do you think that I can make a 372 xp killer if I mod my 562 xp ?
You guys crack me up! I ain't that big, my wife's just really tiny. I weigh a feathery 202lbs, I used to work out all the time until I started the house project, then came the wood cutting, which led to the part time tree service, so working out has now become sporadic. I gotta say all the tree work and climbing keep me somewhat in shape, but I'm getting older and that belly is getting harder and harder to keep flat!Does too, the Hulk is a really cool green color.

Scotty, you may really not be that big and your wife might be tiny, but I think the reason why she is blocked in the picture is because you have a big tilted head
Back to the original thread, WE'RE ALL WOOD NUTZ! Why else could one explain why we are all on here in the MIDDLE OF FRIGGIN' SUMMER?? DOH!
!
Her point is what? Backyards are for storing firewood, right?
This is embarrassing .... I have a confession to make . Last night in my exuberance to join this thread , I claimed 15 cords CSS .... Well I measure it again today , it's only 14 and a bit cords . Can I claim drying shrinkage ,or do I just have to live with being an exaggerator ?

We can let it go this time, but the next time it happens, you owe everybody that hit "Like" the amount by which you exaggerated.
So, Scotty, Dennis, and Dave all get a cord the next time Dang, don't know how I missed hitting "Like" but I won't let it happen again
I am one of the original nuts, hence my name. Up to 24 cords now and still a lot of dead stuff laying around or still standing.
I accept my punishment . I'll gladly provide a cord the next time I make the same offense .We can let it go this time, but the next time it happens, you owe everybody that hit "Like" the amount by which you exaggerated.
Caveat .... It's aspen and those that make a judgement against my veracity have to pick it up . ;-)

Yeah I'm only 5'9ish, so I guess I'm vertically challenged a little. But I'm not fat (yet), I work my ass off too much to gain any of that, don't drink beer either (I'm good friends with Captain Morgan, though)

haha you got a little on me then.,5'7 & 170 here,I tend to stay 170-75 year round,been that for 20 yrs easily.Everyone told me when I quit smoking in fall '95 "You'll gain 20 lbs easily,even as active as you are..."Like Hell I will!
" First 3 days after quitting I gained 5 lbs,but after the shock wore off I lost that within a week & was a really grumpy SOB for 2 weeks.Been the same ever since. Weight that is.....Sure I still love to eat & drink a few beers too,but its all about moderation now & I eat much healthier on a daily basis than when younger too.
Main thing is water water water,especially on hot summer days.Not unusual for me to drink 2-3 gallons,eat very light meals also.Working outside 8-10 hrs in cold winter months I eat lots more,but dont gain anything.
