We bought two cords of firewood last week. Today we went to the other house to retrieve three double-sized pallets and one normal pallet on which to stack the wood. We have to stack it soon since it's not aged wood and is therefore considered wet. For burning, it's best to let firewood sit for a year though you can buy it aged - for about $100 more per cord.

I pulled two pallets and laid 'em out on the ground by the trailer. One had an ant swarm on it and I wanted to give them a chance to leave.

I pulled #3 and walked about halfway to the other pallets, then yelped and dropped it. A hornet had gone up my shorts and stung or bit me just shy of the parts that matter! LOL. I finished hauling the pallet from where I'd dropped it and confirmed that it had no nest on it. But I could see black hornets swarming above the fourth pallet... which I then decided to abandon. It's just not that important. Neutral

The pallets aren't in great shape and I need more, so I may be heading out soon to retrieve some newer ones. My wife already has a lead on a guy who has free pallets.

I hope everyone else's day is going at least as well!

try not to eat too much!
 

Too late..... Smile But it was all good.

My Oldest daughter and her family came over for a picnic.

My grandson who was playing football has one final trimester of college to complete and he is done with College. All he has to do is get hours in substitute teaching. He is a History major and wants to teach high school like his parents.

His fiance comes with him now to our home for family cookouts and holidays. She is very nice and a pretty young lady who is a soccer player for the college. These two have been together since their Junior year in High School and still going strong so I look for a wedding soon after graduation..

She's good for him.. Happy to have her in the family...
