    I found somebody on nextdoor who cut down some trees and offered them for firewood. My supply is full, but my nextdoor neighbors are way behind. He's 70 and has been having health issues for a few months so I figured this was a good chance to help them out.
    A mix of red alder, bigleaf maple, and paper birch a half mile from home. I took everything that was close to the guy's driveway and called it good.

    That was a nice offer! Split already? I'm sure the donor was gratified that it was going to someone in need.
