    We had some really strong winds today. Was worried about a few trees around the house, then when walking out the back door it happened. I had just stepped outside and looked down behind my wood pile to see this thing get blown over. It's actually on my neighbors land but not far off. Looks punky but felt really solid. I'll probably end up cutting it up.

    Right where I want to be.
    Doesn't look like a real serious case of punk.
    Where's the saw?

    +1, where's the saw?

    I would be filling the tank as I heard the thud.

    Saws are ready to go for tomorrow's charity cut. If I have time when I'm done with that I'll cut it up.

    The part that looks punky was solid though too. Kinda surprised me.

    It is crazy windy here right now and has been all day. Hopefully that's some nice firewood right next to home for you!

    Maybe best he waited. Probably good to wait until the wind dies down. Clearly there was enough wind to blow a tree down. Where there's one there's more.
