    Hi there Team, I have been out of the circuit for a while as I had to let my Ford Fusion head over to the big rack track in the sky. I wasn't willing to paid the $6000 to fix the vehicle I bought for a grand. Nothing more depressing than having to say goodbye to that dependable hauling beast. Now I have to very, very, very carefully load stuff into the wife's car. It is a drag for sure.

    Car hoarding opportunities have been lacking lately, so I've just been working with what I have. A chipmunk fortress on the patio... birch in back, apple in front, and next winter's shoulder season wood in the middle. The dog crate is for shorts.

    Very well! The point is very tapered and only an inch and a half wide. It slips right in a small check, or a maul scar. It's a great replacement for my old small starter wedge, which has been getting too short. IMG_20181024_14661.jpg

    No car hoard, so this is the staying home thread today. I dragged out everything that had been hiding under a green tarp for a year, and cut it up. IMG_20181026_17704.jpg
    Stacked my white oak in the empty spot, IMG_20181026_27317.jpg
    and tarped up the rounds on the lawn, because of the rain tomorrow. IMG_20181026_33460.jpg

    We have several here as well. Not using them for cover, but as sides on two of my overstuffed wood cribs. The wood fairy has been great to me this year, but storage locations are busting over:hair:

    Some more apple today. I'd really like to scrounge some poplar. IMG_20181029_12356.jpg

    Come on down to GA and we can make your wood hauler look like the one metalcuttr made for you. Stick a couple of those tulip poplar logs in there...nice artwork you had made.

    I used to live in Maryland and the size of those tulip poplars was astounding! Straight up with no branching for 100 feet. Must be a dream to split.

    I think so, I like the NH climate better.

    Are you sure that it wasnt that you actually learned how to drive, and they wouldn't let you back?

    I swear that in driving the entire eastern seaboard multiple times, it was always the cars with the MD plates that had no idea what they were doing.

    I was partly to blame for that, didn't get my driver's licence until I was out of college, and had to drive around the outskirts of DC. Didn't really know what I was doing until I got to Boston and had the silly slapped out of me.
