    I was running around today and came upon a town clean-up crew. Asked and they said sure. Told them I had to go to get a saw to buck the wood and they offered to "Help." They said my pickup was in good shape so they would be "careful". This is what they loaded. Looks like red oak, black walnut and a little maple. They kept the crouches and other garbage. They wouldn't take a tip so I bought them coffee and donuts... IMG_20160301_124700217_HDR.jpg

    They bucked to about 20", the stack is 14' long and about 3.5 ' high.

    First post from an Android phone, hope it works..

    Don't know what I typed but spell check made it "crouches". Should have been "crotches".
    I know my stacks sometimes like to crouch down and try to hide from the wood wagon but I pick them up and re-stack them so they stay dry and burnable...

    Guess I'll stick with my PC where it lets me know what it is changing.

    My PC doesn't seem to think I meant "ducking" as often as my phone does.
