    I was picking up my son from my parents this afternoon and when I pulled out of the driveway I realized their neighbor across the street had a few large rounds out at the street with a sign that said free firewood. I pulled up and loaded them into the truck and realized that the sign also had an arrow pointing up the driveway to two more piles. I backed up, loaded the bed and went home to unload then came back for the rest. Fortunately only about 8 minutes to our place. I managed two pretty good size loads after halving and quartering a few of the bigger rounds.

    Today's grab is the fresh stuff in the foreground to the top of the pile. I normally don't throw new rounds on top of split stuff but i didn't have much time to make a spot for it with the tractor so it was a turn and burn drop off lol. 20200609_170420.jpg

    Delivered would've been nice! After a pretty hot day at work the last thing I felt like doin was loading big rounds into the truck. But hey I was already sweaty, what's a little more haha.

    buZZsaw BRAD yea easy grabs like that are hard to drive by. I haven't really been scrounging too much because we have a fairly large log pile but that was a no brainer

    Yea it's always nice to add to the pile. Now I just need to get out there and start making it smaller!

    Those are the best! I've been on my way to a score that is guaranteed mine in someones back yard, and stopped just down the street at the free wood sign to cut up their load of wood instead that day.
