    Im sure people will love them bundles..I decided not to get in the bundle game because I already have two neighbors doing it and I don’t want to step on their toes…plus i fear people would just start having at all my wood

    I only wholesale to a few local convenience stores/gas stations. No road frontage for a stand.

    Have you ever been to the Haddam Neck fair? You should be outta there in 20 minutes :)
    Havent been in decades myself. Used to have a beer tent which was the draw back in the days. Truck and tractor pulls too. Some food vendors. Beyond that,,,,,nothin. No games, no rides, nothin for sale but trinkets.
    Not looking to rain on your parade just don’t plan your whole day around it :)

    whatever day works for you is fine by me.

    Well the granddaughter is staying here Friday and we're meeting them there Saturday. Ive gone the last two years and it is small. Local church grills chicken and its out of this world. :drool: Served with corn on the cob. Been looking forward to it. More to watch the little one have fun. Never having had my own it is fun watching them grow and learn.

    Your assumption is correct—just long enough to take that picture

    Cut another "bouquet" at Joe's this afternoon. These two logs produced over a half cord of splits. IMG_3907.JPG IMG_3908.JPG IMG_3909.JPG IMG_3910.JPG Good heaping load. IMG_3911.JPG Lots of ground cover, mud control splitter trash. IMG_3912.JPG Odin was loving it...well the fact he got lots of treats. IMG_3913.JPG Not exactly the best day for firewood making but we got it done. Thanks again buddy! :handshake:

    I can vouch for you. ;) We both worked up a good sweat.
    I know youre not a fan of the heat and neither am i for that matter, but firewoodin seems to trump it. Luckily the sun wasnt full blast or i'd be toast. Not looking forward to resplitting and moving that tomorrow but it is what it is.

    That think needs one of those bumper stickers you see on the back of something like a firetruck. " Keep Back 300 Feet "
    So " when " it falls off (notice I didn't say " if ") you might stand a chance.

    I have seen it up close and personal, let me tell you pictures don't do it justice. That thing is downright scary.
