Mom got a truckload of firewood delivered a couple of days ago, and I deemed it a reasonable idea to get it stacked up and covered with a tarp before the weather hits. I was hurrying a bit, because my mother's friend Mary wanted to come and help me out, but when she does that she just gets in the way. She was waiting for the phone company guy to come do something at her house, so with a concerted effort I got it done before she was able to arrive and "help". The woodpile extends a ways from where the heap was, so a bunch of this involved picking up pieces of firewood and heaving them 20 feet or so. Then I did a few more things like putting the glass in her doors instead of screens, and closing the attic windows. Because it's supposed to rain, and get windy.

Another trivial amount of schlepping HG gear at the Mohawk Trail (7 minutes or so), and then lugging the glider through a field of thick grass after landing. The main thing I'm lacking in this regard is upper body strength. I find it pretty difficult to get a 72 pound glider up onto the roof of an SUV by myself.
