Cutting Wood

Linda has been working at the school this week, so Stacey and I are working as a team on jobs. Early this morning we started the Mule and headed across the creek to the tree I had cut down yesterday. The fog had just raised enough we could see the sun starting to pop through the clouds.
 
Cooter followed along sniffing around the saw dust I had made yesterday. Stacey messed around while I cut some pieces off the trunk and loaded them on the trailer. Then I moved the Mule to the top part of the tree and cut some of the smaller limbs off. Stacey picked up the smaller pieces and threw those on the trailer while I was trimming brush off the rest of the tree.
 
We loaded the trailer and headed to the wood shed, I backed the trailer near the log splitter and we rolled the pieces off. Then we parked the trailer and Mule and went to town. I took the smallest chainsaw to have the chain replaced and then went to NAPA to buy a bolt that I had lost off the log splitter. The guy gave me the bolt and we stopped at the grocery next, then on to the farm. We put the groceries up and then took the bolt and put the log splitter back together. I started the splitter and split the wood we had cut. As I was splitting the wood, I handed the split pieces to Stacey and she stacked them in a row inside the wood shed. We split what we had cut and then went to the house and Stacey cooked hamburger for Sloppy Joes. I made the sandwiches and we ate lunch. Linda came home from school and we had cleaned up and were ready to go back to school to pass out free pizza and pop. I picked up the chainsaw on the way into town and we pulled in and parked behind the grade school. Stacey and I passed out pizza. I gave out the pepperoni and Stacey passed out the cheese pizza. Linda kept us supplied with plates, napkins and boxes of pizza. I guess we gave away close to 60 pizzas, two pieces at a time. We finished by taking the remaining pizzas to the front of the school and they gave them away as door prizes along with some nice prizes. The party was over at 7 PM and we drove home.
