<<Morning, Ish. I thought you would have one of those hydraulic splitters, maybe from a PTO. >>

Real men swing a maul. Right now I don't have anything with a PTO. I have thought about renting one of the trailer mounted splitters that use a small gas motor. I don't burn much wood in a year. Last year I had only one fire in the fireplace. A few years back I was doing a lot of ice fishing and it was nice to sit in front of the fire and have a drink on coming home.

You're right about not many mills. There used to be one 30 miles from here but it closed down. There are a couple over by the river but they only cut soft woods for pallets.

<We're just as provincial as people back East who say Arigun for Oregon and think we hunt and fish. And wear caps. And live in campers.>

Gee, they say those things about you too? Thought it was only we Canadians that they said those things about... except that we have deer and bear in our backyards... wear thick red plaid "lumberjack" jackets and black tuques (watch caps)...and about a third of us live in igloos... every second man is named Jean-Guy... and we dance a mean "jig"... oh yeah... and our largest city, Toronto,... is very "provincial"...

And...yep...sometimes I like pesto with my breakfast too...;-}>
