Went up with a few buddies to collect wood on my wife's uncle property in Cuyamaca.  Did a lot of chainsawing, and filled up 3 trucks with fresh oak!

Everything was so green.  Lots of turkeys and deer also.

The manzanita was really looking good as after all the years of drought and fire took it's toll.

Bummed he's probably going to sell the property soon, but it's been a fun run.  He's asking too much for my wallet.

I have two piles of wood.  One for the fire rings and one for the smoker.  lol

Love manzanitas. Nice haul. Looks like you're just about all the way back to health post op?

 Can never have enough Oak ! The days of swinging a Maul and a Wedge to split wood makes my body cringe these days, Log Splitters are a man's best friend. That's a nice retreat up in the Mountains for sure.

I'm not 100% and feel something weird near the surgery site, but I think I'm about better.

At one point in my life I had two wants.................(1) a cement mixer and (2) a wood splitter.
