Loaded truck pics.

Ha! While sawing, dad ventured over to a very old dump pile. Found that gear so I loaded it up for him. Heavy indeed. Probably end up as decoration at their place but no doubt I will end up with that someday as a memory of the day.

 

I would cherish a day like that with my Dad also. I have some of his tools and his Winchester model 12 pump gun. I think of not only him but that whole generation often.

 

No, I’m one of those that rarely update anything. If it works as is, leave it alone.

 

Yes, unforced updates usually cause problems IME!

 

Have to post these here too. Got the rest of that tree for dad today.

 

Truck load of ash headed to the porch. Stacked this wood in early 2019.





Had to readjust metal on the stacks. Shanty town hoard ftw.

 

stoves are going to be hungry for a few days

 

38 and dropping to the low 20’s. White and Red Oak ready for battle.

 

There isn’t going to be any snow or ice down here. I guaranteed that by getting a couple tons of sand the other day. Plenty for the steep parts of the drive and then some.

 

Punky dead wood splitting and going staight to the stove

 

Finally got over to Number #2 Son's and DIL's place to get the second load of mainly boxelder cut about 5 or 6 weeks ago. Poor Buick hauled the load fine I just took it slow and easy driving home. Anyone else notice the sketchier the load and the slower you drive the closer people tailgate? Must be people that have never towed a trailer with a sketchy load in their life. "Why are you 6 feet off my tailgate? Do you really want a log to fall on your car?" None fell out but come on people, think.

 

Sweet looking load there

Been there done that. I HATE tailgators. One of my major pet peeves. I go slow to begin with and even slower with a heaping load of wood. Been known to go even slower with my flashers on.

 

The trailer is 4 1/2' by 8' and the temporary sides are 4' high. I had a lot of weight being all green wood. I did pull over a couple times and let people pass.

 

Ive done that too. Society today has no patience...or common sense for that matter.

 

Black locust.

 

Nice looking load son.

 

All Spruce .

 

Pre Covid firewood. Should be dry by now

 

It burns like a dream. The wood is cut short, I used to have a smaller stove. At least it’s not too long and every piece needs cut down.

 

quarter cord of cherry Stacked. He had some left from prior delivery so I rotated it.
