    I cut up a some from a huge tree that fell in town. I was told to get what I wanted. Some one else got the easy stuff so I came and got everything that was about 18" and up. Let the stuff that was holding it up and the crazy big stuff though.
    The bigger pieces that I cut I noodled in half or quarters. No more struggling to load stuff for me.

    Oh and the safety police this is only 1/2 mile from my house on local roads. I only passed one car on the way home also...we live in a VERY small town...like 100 people.

    I also have another tree right near here...but someone got the top smaller stuff off of it as well. I thought is was just given to me but apparently someone else was told to cut as well?? Its only been down a few weeks, I just havent had a chance to get it. The other tree near here can be seen in the very last pic if you look against the far tree line just over the bed of my truck.

    And as I was cutting another guy from town pulls up and told me he has a tree down non his property blocking his woods road and to come get it if I wanted it.

    I just cut one so far. I want to get some of the other stuff then might be able to whittle a smaller load out of it. I think it needs to be pulled off the stump now.

    Ummmm. :emb: Excuse me. But couldn't one of those rounds bounce off the back of your truck when you hit a bump and go right through someone's windshield, flatten their face in, and kill them deader than a ............. ? :whistle:

    :rofl: :lol: Nice work Drvn4wood! (This is suppose to be clemsonfor :picard:)

    Sure could. Come out when I crossed the railroad tracks at 5mph and cause them to wreck after it crashes through their windshield?

    Does Drivin4wood do this? Cause thats not me ;-)

    Here is the third tree I had to cut. Skipped the second to go cut this out of this old guys woods road for him. Nice smaller about 1/2- 3/5 of a load of oak. IMG_20150808_181407_562.jpg
