    I don't need the wood, but I know the logger, he had a machine there to load me, the property he's cutting borders mine, and it's oak. :whistle:

    Met him there at 6 AM this morning, got 4 loads without lifting a finger.:D DSCN9610.JPG DSCN9612.JPG

    fuelrod that is a great way to increase the wood supply. Only 3 or 4 years on hand? You can always use more!

    With the price of gas going wild already, it is difficult to say what the price of heating oil will be come fall.

    Our gas prices have been raising fast here. Last week it reached $3.00 and this morning it went to $3.20. Talk about inflation!

    Gas hanging at $2.84 last night, but it is Friday before holiday weekend so likely went up. Propane about a week ago was $1.49 for me. so that is down $0.30/gal from my last fill in Feb. Fire wood local prices about the same as always.

    Crude oil has been flirting with $80 a barrel recently. As long as there is no over-supply of gasoline or HHO, prices will be what prices historically have been at those crude price levels.
