Ahhhh pancakes! Almost as good as bacon.
March was cold and windy for sure.... glad to see April minus the snow that is falling this morning, only to melt this afternoon leaving mud.
I have a lot of green ash I have to cut up this year so yesterday, today Im making my main wagon taller to hold a couple cords of the bug infested stuff. I already learned not to let it stand dead too long as it gets pretty hard to split then, turns rock hard. I use an ax so it matters.
Have a good one!

x2!
I had to drive home 50 miles last night in nothing but snow and slush. That's what I get for taking the snow tires off a week early. Oh well, I must say that the new Goodyear Eagles I had put on did an excellent job. This morning we are in the high 20's with a strong Northwest wind. I have our heat pump on to stretch my coal until I can get over to dads house this weekend for the last ton of the season.
