    Supposed to cool off here with the next 2 days in the 60's for the highs. Should be good working weather. Maybe I'll split or stack some wood.

    The more locust I process, the more I like it.

    Will be a while before I get to be able to. Just split and stacked about 3 cord of it last week, got another 5 or 6 cord coming. Nice stuff, really...as long as you keep the 4" thorns out of the palm of your hand and avoid the $5000 surgery to get it removed. :doh:

    And here we were tonight climbing and taking down 6 sappy old white pines......it was a great evening to cut!!

    Great load of locust there, I'd be calling that arborist friend "extended" family after getting some loads of that stuff!
