    No where near loaded, but yesterday’s gathering…

    Mind you, I haven’t firewooded since 2019 due to chronic lower back issues. Had to buy a few pickup bed loads from coworker Scottish 80 over the past few seasons.

    Nice Eric! I’ve only ever bought one brandy new. 1995 and in a few months we had severe buyer’s remorse over the high monthly payments (they were just over 400 for 5 years). Ended up keeping it and it’s still in my garage to this day.

    That was from the Helene blow down at my coworker’s house… she had a fella come over and cut the limbs off and buck to pretty consistent 18” rounds.

    Me and Keith Babcock took two loads total from it.
    16” bar on the li’l ol’ MS170… brought it for some limb wood that was left at length.

    Part of the first “load” - really only about 2/3 of the
    6 3/4 bed…

    Nice to see you posting and may it be the first of many.

    Cut down a boxelder and a few small trees they wanted gone at my son and daughter in-laws house yesterday. The Boxelder would have been right over the above ground pool they will have next summer otherwise it would have been left alone. Brought home one trailer load of wood. Have another to get. Already took a few pieces out of the trailer before I thought to get a photo. I have a 18" bar and this is about as large of a tree as it can handle. IMG_2605.jpeg IMG_2608.jpeg

    I wanted the 7.3 and the lot had a 2021 F350 with it and the 10-speed plus 4-door. Nice truck and under 100,000 but almost a 50% upgrade over the 2019 6.2 with 122,000 I went with. Just got done doing transmission, transfer case, rear end and oil changes on it today. Ran out of time for the coolant and front axle.

    To those who have the newer Fords, how are the boxes holding up? This does have a factory spray-in bed liner and thinking of getting a bed mat or slide in liner to help protect the floor.

    Been awhile, here are some pics from this year's cache.
    And in a few weeks, we'll try splitting the elm I picked up from last year.
