Cecil, if you want to re-live some of your childhood memories (minus the poison ivy) you're more than welcome to come over! I have a hydraulic splitter, but I'm sure I can dig up the splitting maul, sledgehammer and wedges for ya.
Scot,
If I could find the time I would be glad to help you. If you need me I can try.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
