Way more than that if you're not super efficient/cant do multiple steps at once:

  1. Bucking
  2. Loading log into trailer
  3. Unloading log from trailer
  4. Splitting
  5. Stacking
  6. Bringing inside
  7. Burning

Ideally I try to do:

  1. Buck
  2. Tow splitter to where tree fell/was bucked and split on the spot putting split pieces directly in trailer
  3. Stack directly from trailer
  4. Bring inside
  5. Burn

So really, even an efficient workflow is more like 5 times since I tend to cool off between steps 2 and 3.

Agreed. Something in the crock pot, low fire crackling in the wood stove, usually my wife has some delicious fall themed candle burning. Come inside dirty, tired, hungry, and cold. Enjoy an adult beverage and some herbal remedies for the aches. Take a warm shower and eat your hot meal in sweatpants.

Ok that's enough, I'm drooling and falling asleep.

I love everything about burning wood - the felling, bucking, splitting, burning, smell, etc. BUT, I absolutely despise stacking, get super sick of bringing loads into the house all winter, and hate having to vacuum around the stove every other day.

To mitigate my hatred of stacking I usually have a "firewood party" - this usually happens once I have a good stash of logs built up and I invite my parents and inlaws and whoever else I can convince. We cook a bunch of food, have a bonfire, and split/stack all of the wood together. It's actually pretty fun, plus i usually just get to operate the wood splitter lever while drinking a beer or some hot spiked cider.

One of his donors is a sign company. He didn’t pay a thing for those signs so to him it’s not NOT fiscally responsible.

But yeah that’s how it goes. I’m a bit on the fence about Zuckerman but one of my closest friends used to work for him and I was recruited many times to spruce up old signs that he had saved for multiple election cycles. I remember cleaning yard signs and cutting carrots for him to hand out during parades lol

Reply to Questions about everyone's experience with Consolidated Communications by numetalbeatsjazz

Get starlink and only go to /r/starlink for advice on mounting and to answer little questions here and there. That sub is the bitch fest - there are TONS of people with much better options who got starlink just to be part of the craze, and now spend all of their time complaining about little inconsequential things. Starlink also makes it TOO easy to track things like speeds and outages, so you get people who are all fired up simply over the numbers their app is showing them, meanwhile their service is totally 100% fine.

Our only options were consolidated or hughesnet. Consolidated is well known to be awful, and hughesnet sold us some pretty solid lies, so we went two years with Hughesnet. I paid $200/mo for 25mbps and 25gb data. I NEVER had more than 8mbps, my data would run out in a week, and we would be throttled down to 3mbps. It would be another $50/mo to get enough data to not be throttled.

Switched to starlink and speeds haven't been what was promised (promised 100mbps or more at first and I run right around 60 most of the time) but the system has worked completely flawlessly for me. We couldn't stream ANYTHING before and now we have had three devices streaming at once with no issues on multiple occasions. My dish is in a spot with some obstructions - the app says to expect an outage every two minutes. Outages certainly occur, but most are less than 2 seconds and are completely unnoticeable. The longer ones are completely unnoticeable unless im on a video meeting in which case it will be a small lag that quickly catches up. I have only had one major outage for about an hour and it ended up being an issue that affected users world wide.

TLDR: I pay half as much for 10x better internet through starlink. Take what that sub says with a grain of salt. We are also one of the lucky areas of the country that isn't over capacity yet, so I would order soon.

Yeah I'm the hateful one here. Fucking love that line that all of you right wing folks use "you're all so full of hate!" - I'm not the one taking away a woman's access to birth control and then making her carry a child that she cant care for to full term so that it can have a shitty life but, yeah, I'm the hateful one.

You and this other guy can meet me at the pit at noon tomorrow and I'll say all of this and more to both of your faces. Please bring 10 grand cash.

What in the fuck are you talking about you dingus. I know nothing of your race, creed, gender identification, etc. All I know is you are here making a ridiculous baseless claim based on your emotion and completely lacking logic. Your comment is insensitive toward the folks who have had to go through with abortions, and the lack of legitimate evidence to back you up indicates that you are just here to echo the opinion of your party. So, my comment is saying that, if you hate Vermont so much, you are more than welcome to leave. Other states are way more open to people with your opinion on this matter, and as we saw yesterday and here today the majority of the states population disagrees with your opinion.

SO, it sounds best for all parties if you just fucking left our state. I don't care what color, creed, or gender ID you are. Additionally, if you were a racial minority or had a gender ID other than your birth gender - i can pretty much guarantee you would be pro-choice. So stop with the bullshit games and using fake protected status to hide behind/be edgy/act like a general dick bag.

You are a piece of shit. Go back to /r/trashy where you seem to enjoy yourself the most.

Hey guess what idiot - the common ground is that a patient and a doctor are the only two people who need to have any say in this matter. Your obviously highly informed/educated opinion on the matter means fuck all.

Of course you don't care and won't read any replies. Just like every other hard core conservative you are too ignorant and self centered to even entertain that your point of view may be flawed/misinformed/under informed and will choose to push your head firmly up your asshole rather than use logic and common sense to navigate the world.

YOU are what is a danger to our republic. If nothing else shut the ever living fuck about "abortions after birth" since no one has EVER discussed that and that literally doesn't even fit the definition of abortion.

By the way, the only thing I can deduce about your "morals" from this comment is that you completely lack any legitimate morals and instead have created your own personal delusion of morality that fits your personal agenda and opinions. It's about as far from being moral as you can get.
