    The village just dumped a PILE of wood right next door at their brush dump. It is on the other side of our fence line, and I can drive out the driveway and right back in the next one and the round trip is about 3/4 mile. I already have a lot of wood, but it’s just layin there! Please advise on proper course of action.

    most of it looks like maple

    Hmmm.... I'm wondering if the asking of this question is for:
    A) You need "help" "defending your want and need of getting this wood, such as to your wife or someone who thinks you have enough or "too much"...

    Or

    B) You're just rubbing it in...

    This is your conscience speaking "it is ok to get that wood, it will go bad if you don't get that wood. The tree will have died for nothing, honor its samurai spirit and let it live again in the flames of glory".

    Sounds like you have a better reason than ever to host that gtg you were talking about a few months ago to get that cleared out.
