    Passed a state crew cutting road side en route to a delivery Friday. Postponed his second load to yesterday as I needed a saw and time to cut. Mostly Norway maple with a bit of cherry and some red maple to top off the load. Nicked a rusty wire fence playing hide and seek. I found it. (pic #5 shows the partial cut until I found it) Shouldve realized the cedar poles were fence posts.

    Nice grab and close to the road to boot. That spot looks very familiar; is it one of your semi-regular places you've posted from in years previous?

    Route 1 in Guilford. 15 minutes the other way from home. I go that way, but not often. Had I not had his delivery in the center of Guilford, I wouldn't have found it. Bundle delivery for today to Niantic postponed til tomorrow too. I'd rather cut on a weekday. My BIG wood score is just around the corner. PITA juggling score priorities!

    TSC is right up the street so I stopped for bar oil. On sale for $8.99 but none on shelves. :picard:
    Asked the boss and he said they have a case coming in today.

    And to answer your question yes I have scrounged there back in 2022 IIRC.

    Nice score! I've had the same experience with TSC when they run a bar oil sale. None on the shelf. Winter oil $30 Husky oil $37. What, do they stock up one case in preparation for the sale?

    I am also an expert at finding barbed wire with my saw. Good score, where's your snow?

    Yeah, not the first time I've hit it. The rusty color blends in well.

    We had about an inch yesterday morning and a good amount had melted once I got to the score. The prior snowfall was a dusting. No complaints here. I prefer cold over snow any Winter. Extended forecast shows none either.
