    Took down 4 dead ash trees for a friend today. It was hot! I bet I sweated off 5 pounds at least. Good workout and some good firewood. I do believe I've earned a beer.

    Good firewood scores always come when it's hot, but the beer tastes better when it does.

    No thanks on the beer, I'll have water in this case! But, I used to be that guy reaching for a beer.

    Looks like EAB got to them.
    I'll be in the same boat in a few weeks, friend taking down 6 ash trees, leaving the wood for me.

    Nice score!!

    After working in the heat I have a saying. “No beer till I pee clear.” Gotta hydrate first

    Looks like you had some nice wide-open space for falling the trees. That makes for a good practice time if you wanted to try out some new technics.
    Some good solid looking wood.

    Nice score. Should take very little drying time for that to be ready to burn.
