    While we are all social distancing maybe we can have some fun. I have been working up a couple red oaks the last couple days. Just for fun I weighed a load today. There is a gravel pit near our home and I weighed it on their certified scale.

    Take a guess what this load of red oak weighs. It has been down for almost two years but it was living when dropped. I will give this contest 24 hours. Whomever is closest will get a 6 pack of virtual beer!

    My atv trailer is approximately 4 feet by 6 feet and I cut my rounds 16 inches.

    Looking for just the weight of the wood or will it be for the whole set up?
