Firewood season is underway. Blake came out Thursday morning and we split three loads of wood and delivered one of them. We managed to get this all done before 2:30. It was pretty good days/mornings work. Blake bought his splitter and we started out with me running the lever and him handling the wood, because of my collarbone, however not to long into it we switched. Since I know how small I want the wood split and which logs I want to split it is easier if I handle the wood cause Blake doesn't have to ask about every log. I couldn't lift the biggest logs onto the splitter so Blake had to do those and anything that was two big for him to lift we split down with an axe to a size that was handleable. It didn't hurt my collarbone much yesterday but I could definitely tell Friday that I used it a lot, because it is sore again. I think I'm going to try and deliver the other two loads of wood tomorrow afternoon after class.
We are still cutting corn at work I bet we get done by the beginning or middle of next week. We have been cutting fall crops for nearly a month. After we finish corn then we have 70 acres of milo to cut which will only take a couple of days. The other guys have been working a new calf pen so we can start weaning calves here shortly. That is always a fun time of year although it will be really loud around the farm for a week or two. The calves don't like being taken away from their moms and will walk around the pen balling for awhile.
This a picture, which I thought was neat, that I took Saturday night while we were cutting corn at around 9:00.
