Reeder Custom Guns - good day today. Got a lot done. Split almost 2 cords

of wood and got it stacked. We are about a month from our first killing frost (winter comes early at 8000 feet). Temp today in the upper 70s but it won't be long.

the coal puts out a more even heat. if the power goes out, it's my fault for nor cleaning the snow off the solar panels or running a generator for a bit.

and Juniper and Juniper is hard as a whore's heart and as twisted as a democrat's soul. Even the log splitter had a hard time splitting some of it. My logs are about 18" long and 1 foot in diameter. Each one has to be split into 4 pieces, plus especially with the Juniper there is a lot of pieces that end up being kindling. I filled up a wood rack 8 feet long and 7 feet high with the wood I split and 8 big 5 gallon buckets of kindling.
