    I was coming back from cutting today and was hauling a pretty good load. A pick up truck was hanging in the lane next to me just off my trailer for about a mile without passing. Eventually he passed and gave me a big thumbs up. Apparently he was looking at the truck & trailer.

    Yeah, but I am a pansy. After unloading the truck and half the trailer I quit. I was tired.

    I must be one too then. I would have found it tough to drive the truck home after getting it loaded like that. :whistle:

    Since I have access to log landings there is no reason to take other wood. It all takes the same amount of time to cut/process.

    We have locust around, but it is something the boys don't cut for timber so I don't see it.
