Broken Ax Handles

This would be the second handle I've broken this year. It was a hickory handle and didn't show any signs of wear or damage. And for that matter, I have good aim. I didn't hit the handle on anything. Yet today whilst I was split some seasoned maple, the maul head broke clean off.

So I'm not sure what to replace it with. I hate the feeling of fiber glass and composite resin handles even though they last longer. Hickory definitely feels better but its not as durable.

So if anyone has any suggestions, I'll take them.

Linux Uptime

Linux rarely needs a reboot. With more recent kernels, it doesn't really need to reboot at all. Since I've been studying for my CompTIA A+ exam, I've left a lot of material open and handy. I lost track of how long my desktop had been running so I ran a simple terminal command "uptime" to see. Yes, that would be 53 days, 14 hours, and 38 minutes. Try doing that on Windows.
