    That's why you make hay while the sun is shining. :handshake:... Now you can sit back and know that you're set for a season or two....:D

    Once spring hits he said it will be biz as usual. So I will just relax for now and start grinding away on them then. Still sucks though!

    Just having a bit of fun with you! :D

    Look at the bright side: you get to live like the rest of us wood peasants for a time before ascending back to wood heaven in the spring. Also gives your source a chance to drink all his 30 packs so that he gets fresh beer in the spring. A blessing for everyone as I see it. :)

    Yeah I passed up 2 big catalpas weeks back. I wish they were still there. I'll wait til the weather cools and start a little scrounging.

    You can always consider this a break in the action and slow down a little to smell the Java. Like McDonalds says " You deserve a break today." Life is short, enjoy it while you are able."

    Yes, it is perhaps time to stop and smell the roses and count your blessings.
