[Elecraft] cord vs. rick

Twice??  Hmmm... I think your count is awry ;)

First you cut it.  Sit down and cool off.
Then you split it.  Sit down and cool off.
Then you transport it to the wood shed.  In my case this is via 
wheelbarrow.  Sit down and cool off.
Now you get to carry it into the house.  In this case you are trying to 
get warm so no cool down period ;)
Then you burn it.
There is also the part where you clean the chimney and carry out the 
ashes.  I think I will leave that out of the equation.

Cut + Split + Haul + Burn = 4 warming experiences minimum.

Take care city slickers and country folk alike, Spring is swift upon us.
