    I haven’t been very active on here for quite a while, nor have i spent time cutting nor splitting. I was low enough on wood that I actually bought a couple cords recently, but if course it’s no where near ready to burn. I replied to a post a week or so back and mentioned bring low on wood.
    Fast forward to last Tuesday when chvymn99 texted me that a forum member was trying to contact me to get me a load of wood :yes: Couple quick pm’s and then a call, & stephiedoll shows up today with a longed full of great firewood. Even some hedge!!:D

    much appreciated and even though I don’t really need it, I know the joy of giving and am very grateful!

    I tell people of this forum often. Genuine people and where else would someone drive over an hour after putting in the work to cut and split and load wood, just to give it away.

    Thank you again Stephiedoll

    Not a big deal, just some old sticks I picked up here and there. JimBear is the only reason I have some hedge, and I hope he doesn't get mad at me for giving some away. Plus, Joel forgot to mention the great meal he treated me to, thanks. Beautiful day for a short drive plus I picked up a headache rack for the pickup. Will have to post some pictures once I get it on the truck and think I did okay on the price. Untitled.jpg

    . ?? I don’t have a son…as far as I know.
    I’ve got three daughters.

    I will likely be on here more as this was a good reminder of the larger community. I’ve been very caught up with my church, and my ministry role with the camp I work for. Just busy but am thankful for you all here.

    I was blessed with an abundance of it & was very grateful for the opportunity to gift some to you & you are doing the same. Carry on. :salute: :yes:

    It was very kind & generous of you to make the trip & help jtstromsburg replenish his supply. :stacker:
