    That is a good idea. You will have more time for processing.

    I
    If it wasn’t delivery season I would probably be out there busting them all down and hand loading into the dump truck so I’m still not that smart yet but I’m getting there

    My tree guy finally got around to moving the logs for me. Only took a couple of pictures but it looks like a lot more now that it’s all at my mom’s place. Not positive how many truck loads it was but it’s a lot. Have to cut down some of the big boys to be able to move them with the tractor. Who knows when the time will come for that though as it’s peak delivery season.

    Had more wood dropped off from a different tree service. I now have oak logs all over the place. A good problem to have.

    Yes a good problem to have. Have you been cutting any wood or strictly deliveries?

    I worked for those big logs and it took me many years to get some good tree guy connections.

    Today was “let’s all pay with 20’s day.” Only 1 Benjamin but quite the stack of Jackson’s!

    Thats a pain, but better than Lincolns or Hamiltons. Here's hoping for more Benjamins tomorrow.
