  1. Cierra, great chicken soup. Something I use in the kitchen that GREATLY aids prep is a stainless-steel Dough Pastry Scraper/Cutter/Chopper. I call it a board scraper. A simple tool that allows quick cleanup of a board, but best use is it allows you to gather, say, all your chopped onion or carrots whatever and transfer to pot or pan in one fell swoop, boom. No muss at all.

  2. Great industry splitting and stacking the wood. Wood of any kind should never contact the dampness of the ground which accelerates rot. I like to put long pressure-treated 4x4s parallel to each other to form the base of the wood pile on which the wood is stacked. However, even those should be elevated on concrete or stone blocks to keep them dry too. I switched from parallel wood piece stacking to crisscrossing alternate rows. This allows for better air-drying circulation and drastically reduces the critters that hole up in your stack, and hidden wetness. You'll need a little bit more room though, compared to the usual dense-packed parallel stack. Finally place narrow or folded tarp (or cheap metal or plastic roofing) over the very top to deflect rain but leave sides of pile open to air circulation. Nice truck, Kyle. Glad Cierra's surgery went well. Luvved Skeeter driving the truck, and the chicken call.
