    ***No picture right now. I didn't have my phone with me. I'll go take a picture on my way to work.***

    I took the dog out this morning for a walk. On the way back I noticed a downed oak branch that had been cutup and left on the side of the road. My son is going to get it with his truck after school today. Little score, but I like take the small wins any day.

    I walked her on Monday and found a $10 bill. These walks have been wins of late.


    Hope everyone is doing well. Glad to be back for a fleeting moment before fall softball gets into full swing.

    Not likely. Like I said, I like the small wins. Personally I've not ever had any big wins other than marrying my wife. That was the big lottery I won.

    That's a worthy find. I recall past posts where a few hoarders (including me) have stopped or u-turned to pick up a single round laying by the road. LOL

    You must live down the road from me! A branch just fell off my oak tree. And Monday I lost a $10 bill. You can stack the wood on my porch, and leave the ten dollars under the welcome mat. Thanks.
    Oh, and if you could take the trash barrel out to the curb while you are here, that would be super. Thanks again.

    All those wonderful cutoffs have not made you the slight bit snobby when it comes to wood? Good man BeechNut :salute:
