    You're welcome. I really wasn't trying to correct, I just happen to know that type of oak. I make my share of misspellings and will continue to do so. :) Welcome to the Site, by the way.

    Every town named Burr Oak I have been to or seen has 2 r’s.

    It doesn’t make a hill of beans difference to me, we are all talking the same language: firewood.

    When it's triple digits outside it's a bur oak. When it's cold as a witch's you-know-what it's a Burrrrrrrrr oak!

    I will continue with the derail on grammar, this post may contain offensive language to some.

    Consider that pic stolen sir. :D
    Nice work Kevin, I'm so tired of the heat, and it's been better here than out your way. I'm waiting for it to cool down, but we've been cutting pretty steady here too.
