    Got out yesterday and dropped half of a double trunk cherry I've been eyeballing since last year. Mostly no bark and mostly all the limbs had rotted off already. Punky sapwood but very solid heart wood still and fresh splits metered 11% this'll be headed straight into the shed

    Got a chance to try out the yard glider I got on my birthday this year. Dropped a standing dead ash and cut to 4 foot logs. Easier than loading the wagon by hand!

    Brother, even 5 minutes in the woods with a saw is peaceful to a hoarder!
