    Good day for you, being in the right place at the right time. Now I do want to say I am not to crazy about the Raven's and being from NY I am not a Giant or Jets fan either. Just so you know you should honor your home state and really take a good look at the Black and Yellow.

    I am originally from Baltimore and will always be a Ravens fan. I had a good look at the Black and Yellow sunday and saw that we swept them this year :rofl: :lol:

    As far as being in the right place at the right time , absolutely.

    only thing better is if you got paid to remove it. i burn lots of ash and it doesnt get any better for a quick drying all-purpose firewood.

    Ash splits pretty nicely, but watch out of its a yard bird. Those knotty pieces will knot be fun. Trust me. I've got a lot of ash in my yard, big Yardbirds. I had to take a huge low hanging ash beam down and it was a pain in the ash to split with a maul. I had to take it to my buddies house to his hydro splitter. Then back home.

    No EAB here in my immediate area. I'm keeping it that way too.

    yeah and especially the bottom 6-10', i got some wood from a 30" or so diameter ash and the rounds from the base were all so squiggly it ended up being barely splittable.
