    Buddy stopped by the other day and gave me a new key to the gate on his property. Said he was going to Florida for 9 days and there was 4-5 loads of wood cut for me that I could haul when the ground froze up.

    As much as I like to cut wood, I think I'd do a little house sitting for that, especially with old man winter back.

    Yep, friends are far better currency than dollars many times. He can't buy security & you can't buy wood for that kinda price any other way. Nice job.

    How funny would it be if your friend came back from Florida to see no trees left on his property? :emb:

    He does realize you're a Firewood Hoarder, doesn't he?? :smoke:

    Nice haul of wood there, Gary_602z!

    Funny story, He was always a little leery about letting me cut there. Then once I was, he was a little more open to one of my drivers cutting with me but he was still worried. He is the type of guy that if at all possible he doesn't wanted any live trees hurt unless absolutely necessary. Well one day we were cutting and my driver was dropping a big ash that could have went 14 different way with only one of them being right! Just as my driver was starting the cut Bob pulls in and watches and I could tell he was nervous. The Tree Gods must have been watching because it went EXACTLY where it needed to go with him watching!:thumbs:
