Lots of Wood

I had Wed. off so I took Grace to daycare about 7:40 and then I started to cut and split wood. Tony came over about 10 and helped sort wood and the load my truck with wood then load dad's gray trailer for himself then he helped me split while I cut till about 12:30pm- i kept cutting till 3:30. I probably got 4-5 pick up loads done. I hope to get at it again on Sunday. i am selling it for $85 a pick up load you pick up. or I will negotiate delivery.
Jen had to work late last night so I went and got Grace about 4:30. We had chili for supper. I had steak for lunch.
Today has been busy - I'm trying to catch up with follow up from the salesman who left a couple weeks ago and I can see the end of the tunnel -- but I better get back to work-

the 8 Point BUCK

Well I finally got a nice buck- 8 points- small rack but big deer. Our hunting party had 7 deer by 9:30 am on opener. Then one more in the afternoon to make 8 total. The party included - MFD(dad) Tony, Andy, Amelia, John Doll and myself. Tony shot 3, Andy shot one, John shot 2, dad shot one and I got one. We will have plenty of venison this year.
We all had steak and chili for lunch and attempted to sit in our stands the rest of the day. It was 25 degrees with a wind of 20-35 mph. COLD! We skinned the deer right away Sat night and will cut them up Mon. I did not even go back out Sun. I guess everyone else did but I was happily sleeping.
on Sunday Jen Grace and I went to church at 9 am then made a egg bake for lunch- Tony and Andy stopped by to watch the Bears game. Ang even stopped for a while to give Tony his suit for a funeral Tues. Grace was shy but warmed up right before they all left. She can say nony which is supposed to be tony. She must be getting teeth she was fussy all night and woke up a lot and cryed for about a minute then back to sleep.
Audrey has to hunt next weekend so I guess everyone else will be out there too.
I have to bowl tonight so I won't be able to cut meat very long.
