Am I Any Good at This?

 I guess I'm okay:

My weight varies from just  below 150 to about 155, so 152 is pretty much normal.  I almost always am able to get to 150 in the Clean and Jerk and most months, I will make 155 a time or two.  The last couple of times I lifted, I did 150 four times and probably could have made this weight a few more times, but I had other things to do and couldn't linger.

Firewood History Here in the Chelmsford House

Before these numbers slip out of my head, I better put them down somewhere:

Year 1.  I had some amount of split firewood in the basement from years of random yard clean-up.  I estimate that this added up to maybe 40 wheelbarrow loads.  Also, some of it was, from the standpoint of heating, garbage.  My father in law grafted this wood onto me and it seemed the easiest path to just accept it.

Year 2.  The bulk of this supply, 58 wheelbarrow loads, came from the oak which took out our power the year before.

Year 3.  73 wheelbarrow loads.  Most of this was the big oak which was located between us and the Allen's.  The tree was mostly dead and posed a danger to both of our homes.

Years 4-5:  I have accumulated two piles similar to the supply for year 3, but I will count the loads as I dump them into the basement.  One pile was mostly from the 6 or 7 dead, or mostly dead ash trees in the back and the other pile was mostly from another oak I took down.  This latter tree was healthy, but I'm trying to create a sunny patch for a raspberry patch or small fruit tree orchard.  Added:  I ended up bringing 75 loads to the basement, about 4 of the loads came from the pile near the Allen's house, the rest was the whole pile on the opposite side.
