    Went to the log deck this morning & cut a couple loads. Was a nice day after the fog burned off. Should be just under 2 cord. Didn't get a pic of the second trailer.

    Nice haul. I may get out one evening this week again finally. Chased a fuel problem on my truck and finally got it. It was about 1 day away from dinomite or the salvage yard.

    Nope, beautiful stuff, all solid & dry. Sad thing is it's sold to a friend of mine.:( Good news is there's about 150 more trees just like those to go yet.:saw:

    Actually, I cut almost both loads with one chain, got into some dirt toward the end & swapped. I have noticed the dead Ash & Elm both seem harder on chains & dull them quicker than green wood.

    Gonna be a good bit of ash around for a few years because if the EAB. But once it's gone it's gone.
