DH has been splitting wood and tomorrow he is going to take down a dead tree 
or two.  He's contemplating how he's going to get the lightning struck tree 
down without destroying too many oaks.  He want to fall it his way instead 
of having it come down during a winter wind storm and having it do extensive 
damage.

The wood shed is full and he has another two cords stacked and covered out 
under the big Doug fir.
