[Elecraft] cord vs. rick

[Kevin Rock]

Howdy,
    In this neck of the woods a rick is another name for a face cord.  A 
face cord is 4 x 8 x the size you cut for your stove.  Three face cords to 
a cord nominally but some folks have two face cords to a cord because they 
cut their wood a bit longer.  Still comes out to 4 x 4 x 8 for a full cord 
in the end.
