    Well I was driving around on some of the family land today and came across 3 decent size ash trees that must've came down in the last storm. Can't wait to get going on these cause there's not a bunch of ash around here. Looks like it's gonna be cooling off some in the next week. I can't wait

    Good find and will be some good burning with a very short curing time.
    EAB hit us pretty hard and I get a lot of ash. Probably around 80% of my wood. I have at least 5 ash trees that I need to take down on my land.

    Some sweet cutting to be done there. Glad we don't have all that moss on ours here.
