    These past couple years I’ve pretty much gotten away from hoarding when the temperature goes above 50. Of course there are exceptions, and today was one of them. I passed this on a backroad less than 5 minutes from my house. Red maple, pin oak and black locust. I loaded what I could in the constant drizzle. I have enough going on in my home life right now to keep me busy, so I’ll have to hide these way in the backyard until I can get to them. Hard to say no sometimes as I’m sure some can relate.

    You are not along my friend, I can relate entirely. There are so many times in my life when there is a great score, but its just awful timing or the wrong situation.

    The urge to make it work is great and or passing it up is absolute torture.

    Seriously! I thought the same thing. Makes me wonder if they’ll have more for the taking if they took the time to make a sign like that.

    I can work outside all day if it’s 20 degrees outside but quickly lose my patience when the sun is beating down and I’m chugging water. For me 50 is the threshold. Maybe I was born a displaced Alaskan :whistle:
