    Another co worker found out I burn wood. He said he lives in a wooded are and has wood down from storms past several years. I says "be right over after work". Found some nice ash (see pics) some maple a a really nice cherry all on the ground. Got this load for about an hours work. IMG_20150916_172934159.jpg IMG_20150916_172934159.jpg

    Well went back today after work. About 86 degrees but no humidty to speak of. Started in on some downed cherry. had to roll/carry about 20 ft to the truck. Made a dent in it about an hour and a halfs work. Lots of sweat and gatorade. Everywhere I look I see cherry and ash down. Me thinks I found a honeyhole. IMG_20150917_160239291.jpg

    Got the rest of the large cherry rounds IMG_20150918_161532967_HDR.jpg today. Had to noodle a couple them. Most were managable.

    Good catch, markr. Several good loads to build up your stacks! Whenever I haul home free wood, I wonder if I should feel guilty about taking something for nothing (until I gift the donor a bottle of something for their generosity).

    Yeah. The guy I am getting this from burned wood on a limited basis. Guess he had a chimney fire last year. Havent talked to him about it much because he works in differant division. I gather from him that he is a little gunshy now. Told him as repayment for the generousity, I would bring him a load of split wood. But make sure his chimney is repaired/replaced prior to burning. He was happy about that. I will try to educate him more in the meantime.
