Sore Again

Before/During

After

If it's the weekend and fall, that must mean I've worked myself to the point of complete body breakdown.  I'm so sore...my neck is killing me and my back feels like it's breaking.  Why, you ask?  Well, it was log splitting day yesterday.  See, our next door neighbors took about 15 trees down in their back yard and had all this wood just lying around.  They said we could take what we wanted.  So...Jim went out yesterday, borrowed another neighbors truck, got a log splitter (shown) and we went to work.  We loaded the truck 3 or 4 times with wood...I think it was just three, drove it to our driveway, dumped and then split.  We started working around 11:00 and finished at about 6:00. You can see, in the stacked picture, the line where the new wood starts...hopefully the old wood won't be buggy and we can use that until the new stuff seasons.  Can't wait!  We should be set for the winter.

Stacked

Other than that - not much is going on.  I was so tired last night that I knew I wouldn't be able to watch the Reds game (and I'm glad I didn't...what a nail biter!) but I did tape it and looked back on some key stuff.  Chapman makes me so crazy!!!  Thankfully the boys won.  Tonight they don't play until 9:30 again...ugh!  Hopefully they pull it off. The Bengals play the Dolphins at 1:00...I'll enjoy watching - I don't think it's blacked out...the website said it was on.  Jim's renting a seeder with a neighbor and they're going to seed the island, the neighbors yard and our yard.  Dinner tonight:  Beef Stroganoff...yum!

Ooh, and Jim and I completed our ballots today and they will go off in the mail tomorrow!  Loves me some early voting!

And that's about all I've got.  I need to walk Sami and then come home and clean.  I didn't get to clean yesterday...oh well.  K - well, I'm out.  Later!
