    Load number eight. All maple. Mostly red with a bit of sugar. Not fun in full sun even though it wasn't humid. Cut one trunk from the back. The other not for me. 194 bucked the smalls to finish the load. DSCF0087.JPG DSCF0088.JPG About half the smalls left in front. Not sure if worth a return trip.

    Eight loads! Nice.

    About 4 cords in total?

    Each load was 55-60% of a cord so well over four. He texted me yesterday asking if I was going back as the pile was supposed to be ground/hauled away by now. Im going back this morning.

    Ive sold five half cords from it. Another half cord in round to be split, plus at least a half cord in splits that will go to one or the other customers. Maybe half cord in sugar maple to be stacked for my inventory, not to mention over a cord of bundle wood. More could've gone to bundles but having customers for green it went right away.

    Split Tuesday's load off the truck yesterday. Some general cordage. Some bundle wood.

    Having an issue loading pics. WTH happened I don't know. Says the file too large for the server to process.
    Wonder if this is a site issue?

    Got a text yesterday asking if I was going back for the smalls as the pile should've been removed. Wasn't sure if I was, but this gave me a kick in the rear. Headed back this morning.
