A Thorn in my Side

Does it have the thorns? Don't recall ever seeing you cut HL. Not that common down there?

 

I love HL. I have a ton of it in my stacks. But I've found it really needs 3 years to dry out properly to burn in an EPA stove.

It's heavy AF too.

 

Those thorns are crazy, I've never seen anything like it and hope I never run into it myself. Glad to hear you didn't get stuck!

 

Nice find Brad! What town was that in? Been some decent offerings on Marketplace as of lately.

That massive PI vine would have probably turned me away from that log! Hope it doesn’t bite you. I get itchy just looking at those PI vines.

 

It was Wallingford actually not far from you. Behind the old Food Bag (now Citgo) on Quinnipiac St. The lot is owned by Citgo and the work was being done for him.

I had my sweat shirt on and was pretty mind full around it. Haven't had any itchies on my arms or hands so I think I'm in the clear. It shows up 24-48 hrs after on me.

 

Oh nice! That’s super local! And a great score. Glad you were able to grab all that up…plus the burl!

Awesome! That’s great news! Glad you were able to avoid that?

 

Yes, it has the thorns. We have never cut any. Very rare down here. We had one years ago when I was little on the lot next to dad's store that was cut down.
