    So a friend of mine called and said they were having a an Ash and a Honey Locust cut down at their shop and if I want the wood. Does a bear chit in the woods? Is the Pope catholic? Am I a wood hoarder? I get out there back right up and start cutting. Realize that there’s a good amount of Ash, HL, Walnut, all pretty straight and not much limbs or crouch. Yielded very little uglies and split easy! 4 loads so far and 2-3 more to go.


    Load #2

    load #4. Not sure if there's such a thing as the perfect load, but this is as close as it gets for me. Pretty much all HL, all 18”, and packed as full as possibly!

    Gotta like those easy scores of good stuff. Was it all dead? That last picture looks like a heck of a heavy load if’n it’s green wood

    Nice score Dakota Hoarder that will provide many nights (a season) of warmth. On a side note, always nice seeing a pickup being used as a truck.

    When I saw the title "Christmas Mix" I was all hopped up thinking we were gonna hear some Brenda Lee, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Burl Ives, Elvis Presley, Arthur Feidler and the Boston Pops, Perry Como, and The Ray Conniff Singers!!

    From the title, I figured this was to be a music thread.

    Nice take. Cord and change there?
    How does that measure into your 3 year plan?

    We just got about 3 cord already cut and 1yr seasoned from a friend. Thats about half a year's supply for us, so it was a real gimmie for us.

    Thanks buZZsaw BRAD
    I know HL is a little lower on the BTU charts than BL but how does compare otherwise?
