    I don’t… :( . They are minus the star runner. While the next up isn’t a slouch, he’s not the same. I’d say good luck but don’t think you need it. Hope they hang a hundo on the next game. :D

    Delivered a load of oak, hickory and cherry to a repeat smoker customer. He has a big smoker in his backyard, likes cooking for family and friends. 1216221107_HDR.jpg

    I'm sure you've said in the past, but how long it most your wood seasoned? Looks like a nice load.

    Some if the cherry was seasoned, the rest of the cherry was green. The hickory is over a year old, oak a few months, he only uses a few pieces at a time, so it has time to finish drying

    Took Blue Samson over to a friend's place Saturday morning. We helped him clean up a big tree that fell back in the summer. I spent most of the time on the saw and tractor, Mike and his son learned the splitter fast. I only helped them with some big rounds.
    Wasn't the best wood when we cut it, he's using a burn barrel for coals to cook with. 1217220945.jpg

    Delivered a load to a new customer Tuesday morning, who just happened to be our plant manager. It was a mix of oak, silver maple, hickory and ash. He was impressed with the amount and quality, he gave us a $40 tipand and he helped unload and stack it. 1220220936.jpg

    Had a busy day on the woodyard. A little misty and cold. A guy came over and got a trailer load of big chunks and scraps for their firepit, then a coworker came on his lunch break and got his big tote of 15" splits. 1004220935.jpg
    We were also working on getting a couple loads of 16" splits done from the oldest logs we have left, they were cut in March. 1222221117.jpg 1222221117_HDR.jpg
    Blue Samson made quick work of these size rounds.
    1st load 1222221417.jpg
    We carried this load to a friend up the road. Need to carry him some more later to finish his load 1222221728.jpg
    I :sleeping::sleeping: :sleeping: well Thursday night...:thumbs:

    Good to see you still knocking it out of the park. How's the temperature been down south?
