    About half of what’s coming home…..my fingers and back hurt from holding the camera phone A3ABC6A9-2237-4CE6-AD9C-5873CAFC07D0.jpeg 2C2D71AA-AB22-4B68-BE1D-51F8ED5DEA80.jpeg

    I think now is the appropriate time for one of those awards that are given out periodically. Yes, I do believe you’ve earned the infamous “you suck” award :thumbs:

    I am paying for it, but he Saves it for me. Pretty sweet deal, and I get a good price. Good friends are hard to find, and this guy is a good dude.

    Nice score Woodsnwoods ... even if you're paying for it. Will this be for your private stash?

    I cant tell you what i go through to get that much locust. I know a tree guy who lives near my storage and have been tempted to ask him if he gets any BL and if i could get it. Then again ive never paid for any...with money that is! My fear would be a load like that and i have no where to dump it.

    Hope your fingers and back feel better soon! ;)

    Especially with a tree service guy, you may be surprised at what he does or doesn’t want for dropping off wood from jobs.

    I was only joking about you getting that whole high deck:rofl: :lol: there's probably 200,000 BF there. The log truck load is a nice score.

    I guess some people complain about the smell!!!! Not me! I could get a dump trailer per week of cut offs and waste for free, but it stacks poorly and is generally too small. I do however grab the oversized splits.
