1.31.2025 morning
prepped rounds with chainsaw
toil with steel wedges and maul
endure the back pain...
light sprinkles... sprinkle
toil with steel wedges and maul
then the fat rain comes...
give Tinker a treat
hang up soaked shirt near wood stove
hot cocoa and chill

Enjoyed! Didn't understand all, seemed you were cutting wood in the rain. Hope you are warm enough there. And Tinker too.
Sounds
Light children voices
resound in the afternoon
car horns empathize.
Thanks! Tinkie and I took a nap, he curled between my legs, after I had 2-cups of hot cocoa.
I score (surface cut) the top of oak rounds to the depth of my chain saw in halves/quarters/or more so I can insert a steel wedge or two into the score(s) and pound the wedges with an 18 lb (8.16 kg) maul/splitter on the flat end until the round splits, sometimes using the opposite end, splitting edge, when I can. This seems to work better than not scoring so the steel wedge doesn't dislodge and fly into my shin, now healing, or worse. Just pounding with the splitting end of the maul works ok with cedar wood or pine, but oak is heartier and often has twisted sinews and knots.
Joyful haiku... loved :)
Thanks! :)
Good splitting requires some techniques, I see.I thought one just takes an axe and works away on the wood.

Sunday at Noon
The asphalt shrivels
under the scorching sun rays.
Barks sound from afar!
Hot! Hoping you have adequate cooling. Enjoyed :)

Enjoyed that windy Haiku
Inspired by it
Windows panes rattle
white ice stones hit the soil
Wind moans through the house
