    Answered an ad on Craigslist, 11 miles from home. Retired lady was very very thankful that I “was willing to get get rid of this” for her. The large rounds I cracked in 1/4s are at the bottom

    Not pictured, but went back and got 3/4 load of giant Red Oak 1/4's that were noodled 4 years ago. Tree must've been 40"+

    HaHaHa. She said that I can come back anytime I want and "go shopping" in her 4 acres of mature Red and White, and a few Maples. Melissa sent me over with a dozen eggs from the coop and some jam as a token of appreciation

    No pics, I caught the add when it was 36 minutes old. First one to reply. We chatted for a few minutes. She reserved it for me for 4 days. I dragged all the slash across the back of her property and left the area cleaner than I found it. As one should.
