Loaded truck pics.

I know that smelled good.

 

Sounds like a great young man. Glad you have him in your life.

 

Nice looking wood Rope! I see some paper birch mixed in. Sounds like you’re settling into your new home pretty well. I’m glad for you guys. Great to have such a good young helper. Not very common these days sadly

 

Rope , so he's like your clone?

 

Mom and I are very blessed to have 4 great kids. J is 9 and loves anything outdoors and its a bonus for him is a motor is involved and its some peril is involved. His older brother is 12 and is a great help more to his mom. Sister is 8 and is a great help with her 10 month little brother. They are a blessing and bring great joy---most of the time.

 

Most of that is white birch with a little spruce. We are getting settled, Yes sir its great to spend some time with him.

 

Yes Ma'am.

 

Awesome memories with your son!!! Keep up the good work

 

Yes sir. We raised 3 of our own.

 

Load of scarlet oak

 

Now you loading that truck. What's the difference between red and scarlet Oak?

 

Right now it’s fall leaf color. The bark is different, the wood is not as dense. It resembles Pin Oak, but the leaf is wider.
Got most of the tree in one load.

 

Did a little scrounging scouting yesterday afternoon and saw this new maple blowdown (it was 17 degrees, windy, snowing, and I didn't feel great so I didn't grab anything yesterday). Felt better today and it was a calm and balmy 20 degrees so I headed up the mountain this morning. Not sure if the maple is red or silver (leaning towards silver) and it was a labor of love but it's great hardwood. The base was about 200 feet upslope and each round had to be rolled, carried, or tossed 3 times to get to the road and then loaded in the truck. Had the mountain to myself all morning and it was good exercise so it was an enjoyable time. Grabbed some beech and white birch on the way out. The life of a scrounger (and firewood addict).

 

Here is my contribution. Got about about 1/2 cord of oak rounds. My helper is off to the left

 

Nice load, well done

 

Very nice. Bet pup enjoyed being with you.

 

Load of plump northern red oak logs
