With the dog and boy, I'm pretty careful too. We went to the Eleven Point; a little farther, but pretty good fishing and a nice, easy float. Think I need to do some more pickling too Ed; and thanks for the insight on the splitter. Wood is almost our primary source, we burn it every day with electric back-up for when the wood fire doesn't keep up. Here comes another small engine... :) Bummer about the trip R.S. but I know what you mean. With the dog and boy, I’m pretty careful too.

This is great for me as I've been pickling cukes that were given to me to supplement my meager supply from one plant that didn't do very well. My parent's walnut tree is loosing its leaves to but we certainly haven't seen any 50 F mornings up here yet. Mostly it barely gets into the upper 60's at night. Of course, we are getting plenty of rain. It's raining right now. I always hand split my wood which isn't my primary source of heat until I ran into a pile of silver maple which resisted all my beatings that I lashed upon it with a mall. I rented a small wood splitter and fell madly in love with it. If I were going to have wood as a primary source of heat, I would own a hydraulic splitter, no doubt about it.

Our planned float trip a couple of weeks ago went the way of all flesh because of a rain induced "surge" on the Current. My wife was hesitant as she hasn't floated in a while and didn't want to risk swamping a boat with my younger son in it. Oh well. Maybe later in the Fall. Cheers. Great photo!
