    Cut some wood Friday. Found a fresh dead Post Oak (White Oak) cut it and loaded it and as I scanned the tree line next to the clear cut I was beside and saw a dead oak with the top blown out. Once I loaded the first I went to the next small road closest to the one I had seen. It looks like it had been standing dead for 2 years. Another white oak. It was a little punky ok the outsides but it was good in the center and the tree was actually pretty dry. I will stack it out in the year ahead of the first tree I cut the same day. It's a lot greener and will need more Dry time.

    I have gotten behind where I want to be on my wood pile. Life got busy and I got lazy I guess and I am going to try and hilustle more this summer than I have the last few years to get my shed full again. IMG_20210618_192922248.jpg IMG_20210618_192927196.jpg IMG_20210618_204734259.jpg

    Haha, heck no it was 86 or so when I left. Probably 90 when I started I'd guess. I left at dark. You can see how dark the pic loaded is, it wasn't just cause it was in the woods.
