Feeling better, though. The medication is making me drowsy, as promised. I hope it helps me get to sleep tonight.
I went to the hardware store. That's the first time my car has been out of the garage in a week. I had a $7 coupon that needed to be used before the end of the year. Since I actually needed something, I didn't want it to go to waste. I got a Fiskars splitting axe. I tried it out, too. It does split much better than my regular old axe. I should get a hatchet too, to make kindling, but I can use the big axe for that too. I shoveled a bit, since there's still a big mess from yesterday. Probably shouldn't have done that. I napped for a while after all that was done.
We were supposed to go to a couple of parties tomorrow. One was canceled. They needed an excuse, and saw that I was sick. The other we'll just miss.
I'm still missing all those things I wanted to see and do this week. At least we're getting caught up on Doctor Who. We just got to where Peter Capaldi appears.

Now that you're getting better I'm coming down with a cold. Hope it runs it's course faster than average.

Date: 2015-12-31 07:45 pm (UTC)From:I have a splitting maul for the big rounds of wood, not quite an axe, more like a sledge with a pointy end. This is a lot like what I have, but not quite it:
There's a new design that has an off-center payload to automagically torque the maul to split the wood faster.
I've also got a "small" chain saw, a Stihl, that works great. After being stored for a year it may take 4 or 5 pulls to start, but if it's been using any time recently it usually starts by the 3rd pull.
