We got veggies on every thread (self included) here!  Even fresh ones from Ohio!

Yes face cords... All the dummies up here refer to face cords as cords mostly.. And yes 500 is a heck of a deal delivered:) the no space load usually is + or - a few face cords fichy. I picked up about 8-10 face of very thick/nice cherry slab wood for 100 bucks last spring from a local sawyer. On the other hand plenty of people selling split wood that isn't even seasoned for up to 75 a face... Tuna hauling that distance a pick up load at a time sure is a lot of work.

No worries here db, I was confused as I never refer or dealt with face cords.. We would cut about 20 (actual)cords a year with a year ahead stocked up.. At first I would cut (trees down) then split and stack 2 full truck loads every day after work at work and my days off as well until we hit around that 20 cord mark for the year.. Then it started to take it's toll on me with the splitting by hand so we would just chunk them then load in the truck and pile up at home for splitting later.. Obviously I would select cut and pick only red oak as it was easy to split, stayed away from the maple as it was usually gnarly.. Finally I made Rob buy a splitter :) because it was killing my elbow swing a maul and putting a dent in being able to fly fish, hence the reason I bought the 2 handed spey rod..
We, he is good for this upcoming winter with mostly last years stock and about 25 % from that massive red oak that fell by my house..

 
I have about 3+ cord here for my little cook stove that I run in the man cave just to keep the chill off and dry out ice fishing/hunting gear..
Geesh all this talk of heating and cold weather has me thinking , Where's the ice ? LOL
 

Speaking of Labor Day................
 
After all this garden work, wood splitting and seeing HTs picture of the wood pile I must go sit in the hot tub.............  I'm gettin too dad-burned old for this stufff. ~ Sign me "Class of 1969"
 
Wish all-ya-all a great Labor Day weekend.

Feel like a nap.

 Stew Leonards is a GREAT place to shop.
Actually told Wifey that I'm gonna be stopping there (we are regulars up on Rt 15))on my way up to SR for the rest of the season instead of the store in Pulaski where half the meats and produce on the shelves is out of, or a day away from, its end date.
Have got to my place and had to throw smelly meat and fruit out a day after going there. Even with only a couple of being a part time resident months left- ENOUGH.

Tuna and fichy, I'm thinking face cords are more commonly used due to pick up truck loads at a time. Fichy you are spot on as it is a 4*8*1.33333 stack. I have been averaging 24 face cords a season. Most anyone who sells up this way refers to face cords. Fichy your 550 for 6 cords is pretty much in line with 500 for 18-21 face cord load. People must be dumb up here for using face cord as a standard... Lol... :)

I think it also arises from the 16-18" chunk that most wood stoves accommodate.  Most folks don;t have the power tools for reducing the length.

Just never seen it before, ain't dumb, just really optimistic! I read all these cords you guys racked up, I felt lazy and weak, now I don't feel so old.  I bust my azz to do 2 cords in a day, you guys were doing that before morning coffee!   Don't mess with them guys by the lake!

Been there hitting up my parents who always have a ton or the dreaded buy for the local convenient store which adds up quickly for 6 logs in a bag. now we supplement with the pellet store no wood stove for us. Much more wife friendly.

So I guess I did 1full cord Sunday or there about in 4 hours only cut a split a little most was from the pile

Fish are feeling the same way. Too hot to bite caught a bass the other day and he was warm to touch. we need rain everywhere. Who would of thought that after all the snow we received last winter. Been a hot and dry one for everyone this summer.

Hit 94 here in my little piece of Penn's Woods yesterday and the weather dude is saying the temp.s will be back in the 90's again today.  Calling for low 80's and rain for tomorrow afternoon with the temp.s back to the 70's for the rest of the week.
 
As for calling someone dumb; I'll have you know I represent that remark!
 
Speaking of the phrase "face cord" how about the term being derived from what you see looking broadside at a "cord" of wood?  Your looking at the face of the cord, right?  Aww c-mon........... give me a little credit for trying.  Also, who the heck is "rick" and why would anyone name a wood pile after him?
 
Okay.... I'll go away but first, I'd like to show yinz a wood split-er any wood cutter should have.
