Like last spring and many before that, now's the time to start splitting wood. Last fall there was a decent supply of wood bucked up and stacked, so this spring, at first, all there was to do was split and restack it.
Now that all the birch is split, it's time to go find some more. Of course there's still plenty of aspen left over from Cy's last clearing ( Firsts...10/22/22 ), but that can wait until there's more birch done, since it takes longer to dry.
It's also been time to prep the Guzzi and get it out again for a spring ride.
Probably will be mostly riding the 650 until the chrome bores are replaced with the new cylinders on the 850. The chrome begins to flake off after they age, it's fifty years old, and will destroy the engine if it does since there's no oil filter. It seems there's an outfit in Italy that started making a replacement cylinder kit, so I bought a pair last fall before they all disappeared again. Now all I have to do is install them; that'll be fun.
