    I was able to get 3 more loads outthis morning. I also took some pics of where they got dumped, the 18 big oak rounds left, the unfortunate 2-2.5 cords of gum I have to take, and pics of the logs I have had dropped off within the last 4-6 weeks.

    DB9F2A3C-1954-4AD7-A9F1-B95129900B54.jpeg The wood goes to my moms farm to be cut/split and seasoned. I took the last load to my house so when I have an hour here or there I can get some split. And those big rounds will get picked up with the backhoe and gently be put into my dump truck. They are too big to lift by hand and I don’t feel like bringing my tw6 with log lift there

Then I came back and got a full load of my enemy wood - sweet gum. Still have a full pickup load left there. I got started on splitting some of the oak I pulled from there and noticed one of my logs guys dropped off 2 real nice loads of red oak.

    Nice oak, was hoping that other was tulip poplar, way better than the sweet gum. Nice loads of smaller oak logs too.
