    Helped one of my cutting buddies with 4 big pines on his property line, and got a sweet payment plus the wood for shoulder season.

    Nice work Greg! Nothing like some good heat, and a cool treat to boot!

    The load going home makes that trailer look fullfilled (pun intended). Good job!

    I'm very creative, it says nothing!

    I somehow won 20 t-shirts from a graphic design place in a silent auction, and so me and my cutting buddies threw together a quick logo for the front and wear them for the fun of it sometimes. Makes us look like so sort of crew, but it has also gotten word around that we will cut for the wood, and help people out if they are in need. We get calls and emails asking if "The Fellowship of the Tree" is available. And more than half of the reason I cut wood at all probably is because of the guys I do it with.

    Nice Greg! You can have the pine, I'll take the cone. Besides, it is still summer so ice cream should be a regular in the diet.

    I will take all the Pine. My propane bill was 30 dollars a month for the last 8 months burning pine.
    It's all good.

    I'll ask my cardiologist about that.
    I'm sure I know what the answer is
