    Drop off from arborist friend of about 3 cords of pin oak, got 2.4 or more in my trailer and made it home, and had half a pickup load of saw dust. And no, I did not run a saw in shorts, that was my load up outfit. :)

    Yeah, tried to be as careful as possible. I normally wear a back brace like my pal, but upped it to my old weightlifting belt for the load up. Stuff was fresh cut and heavy as all get out. Since I have it now waist high on the trailer, think I'm going to process it this weekend right off the trailer, then let it sit.

    Nice score on the wood. Looks like someone did a lot of noodling.
