Today is a day off and I shall spend it helping friends. Tom is physically no longer capable of doing these projects, and Linn is busy taking care of Tom, so I go down every so often and help out where I can. This project is moving a woodpile from its current location to a different one, out of the way of the fellow who will be fixing the driveway next week. A lot of the wood isn't worth saving, so it has to be gone through, moved, and restacked in the new spot. It is a good way to spend a day - helping friends, enjoying their company, and there is something very satisfying about stacking wood. There's a bit of an art to it, making it stable enough so it won't fall over by cribbing the ends and stacking it so it all fits together. I am very good at stacking wood, the two rows I've made so far are solid. One can reach out and shake the pile and it barely moves. And knowing I've done this for friends makes it even more satisfying.
