That's a monster. I'm glad it did't hit your house or another building. I'd cut it up, stack it up off the ground, cover the stack with plastic, and start splitting it by September. I have several racks of wood to be split, so I'll rent one before it gets too hot. Since my heart surgery in January I've been on the road to recovery and still limited on what I can lift. And it looks like you'll be doing some heavy lifting.

Now that's the only kind of wood I care to be involved with these days! No chain saws, no log splitters, no stinking gasoline/oil mix, no heavy liftin' ......... hell, don't even have to get out of bed to take care of it! Well, maybe a little bit of heavy liftin' .... while ya' standin' up to pee!
Yeh, y'all know what I'm talkin' about, now don't ya'? jj

You the man belt fedYep, been doin it most of my life though.
Good to see you use a stihl . When I cut firewood for myself , my Mother , and sold it , I had an 041 farm boss Stihl. It was a great saw.Yep, been doin it most of my life though.
Seeing you cut that chunck of wood length ways made me chckle because of a long ago memory. This was in the early 80's and I had some wood in my yard that was full of knots and , because I was splitting by hand , I decided to cut some of it length ways. Well the neighbor saw me doing that and decided he would do it with his small McCulloch chain saw.
As I am sure you know , it didn't work out well for him. I had to explain that it took a fair amount of power to get through wood when cutting it like that.

Yep, we call that noodling cause it leaves long stringy pieces. i do it so i can pick that stuff up to put it in the truck. i'm too old to try pickin up one of them big chunks.
as i got older my strength got weaker and my truck bed got higher off the ground.
