Beautiful weather and finished wood

We finished the last of dead Ash trees yesterday amid the most beautiful mid-60’s temperatures with a West wind of 8 knots. We have done about 6 cords of wood and sold 4+ cords and kept 1.5 cords for use by ourselves. The neighbor who has cut his Ash trees said I could cut up the ones on the ground and share wood with him. So, sometime in mid-December I will start cutting again for the exercise. The leaves are stilll falling and I picked up a load yesterday too. I guesstimate another 2 loads and then I can drain the oil and put fresh in for next years use. I usually change oil every year, needed or not, because I have cleaned the interior of engines and seen what gunky oil does. I use about 4 gallons per year and need to get some more 5W-20 and some straight 30W.

This morning it is 35°F with West Winds at 12 kt. I was not prepared for the shock of going out into that wind. I have been looking for my PLB for several days now and fear it it has disappeared in the movement of desks and furniture. It is a pretty expensive device so I really do not want to lose it. Today we are volunteering at FCC to help setup the Fremont Community Thanksgiving dinner. We leave in about an hour so I had better get cracking. Moore later.
