    Saw FB post. Guy had wood alongside the road in front of his house. Needed it moved for graduation party parking. By the time he included the address it was almost dark. Close to me so I took a drive by in the Civic (scout vehicle/rolling toolbox) when the sky was just beginning to lighten.
    Black Birch, hard to tell from posted photo. I’ll take that. Grab truck and trailer head back. Loaded it up and driving home before most people were awake.
    That old Ct scrounger competitive spirit kicked in. Gotta beat the rest of the interested parties :)
    Touch over 1/4 cord I figure.

    Do you have a winch or something to load? Some of those look pretty big.

    Nope, but when I opened the back door of the truck two Yeungling bottles rolled out and kicked that can down the road :)
