    These past couple years I’ve pretty much gotten away from hoarding when the temperature goes above 50. Of course there are exceptions, and today was one of them. I passed this on a backroad less than 5 minutes from my house. Red maple, pin oak and black locust. I loaded what I could in the constant drizzle. I have enough going on in my home life right now to keep me busy, so I’ll have to hide these way in the backyard until I can get to them. Hard to say no sometimes as I’m sure some can relate.

    You are not along my friend, I can relate entirely. There are so many times in my life when there is a great score, but its just awful timing or the wrong situation.

    The urge to make it work is great and or passing it up is absolute torture.

    Nice score Eric. Always hard to pass up a good one. I try to have as little of rules as possible :) Now, don’t make Brad come up there or me over there. Back you go,,,,

    and one of the nicest "FREE WOOD" signs I've ever seen if I may say so myself.
