And I figured out the log splitter.
Red squirrels are everywhere! They are in mating mode, at this time of year. Annabelle was exhausted, however. Photos were taken with the Videocam, hence they aren't quite excellent. The sun was shining, at least, and that makes for a better photo.
Whilst the other cats slept, Daisy and I figured out how to work the electric log splitter. I cannot lift it, but it has wheels. I dragged it out from the garage, where it has been sitting for the 5 years we have lived here. Time to make it work. The wood we bought has some big pieces that do not fit into the wood insert. This was the case last year, with a different supplier. sigh. What do these men think?
Some I can barely lift!
My friend, Jean, offered to have her hubby help if I sent photos, but the directions were pretty clear. Thank you internet buddy!
Hubby returned from delivering Meals on Wheels and he found the manual for me, after I searched online. They don't make my brand any more. "Be careful!" he says. No guff.
With our cold spell, I've been keeping it warm indoors. It has a 6-ton capacity and works quite nicely, once I read the manual. I'm startled by loud noise, but it just gently pushes the wood into the splitter. With great force, I might add. My 8-lb. maul didn't work on a couple of pieces.
