Preparing for the next heating season already

Bob's chainsaw of 35+ years finally quit and he reluctantly replaced it..... Greg at Howson's rolled his eyes when Bob whined about how it should have lasted longer.  He sure gets attached to his favorite tools.  Re-equipped with a Husqvarna 365 model, he was back happy as a clam preparing for next winter.  Work in progress is shown.   We using logs taken to clear pathways last winter when the selective poplar harvest was done.  The partial load that they left stacked for us has helped one friend and Bob's brother Jim, plus it is going to cover two years of our needs.  Once that is done we should not need to do more than take wind fall trees every year, even that will be too much for what we will use!
