    Yes . Mostly in times . How long which type of hand shoes (gloves or mitts ) will keep my hands from locking up . How long before safety glasses or flip down face screens ice up or frost over . How long before I have to get in the truck for a warm up/thaw out break .
    As my beard is long enough to. The different also in how long before my beard freezes to the lapel of my coat.
    Above -20°F i will start and run my skidsteer. After having been plugged in yo my Honda EU2200i. I will not even plug it in at 30 below .

    I would NEVER sell apple by the cord but I would get well over $1K/cord selling as bagged smoking wood. That's how I roll. :thumbs:

    I got a call from a friend at the local Country Club and he said they had a bunch of logs from storm trees that were piled up and free for me to take. I went today and got a load of Doug Fir. Shock to my system to have to work for a change. Felt good to get some saw time though. Took several hours by myself but I got the load done. Used the winch crane to break the log pile up and load the large rounds. Lashed the load down and "A fiery kerf, A Cloud of Chips and A Hearty 'High Ho Stihl Saw' " and I was on my way home!

    Tongue in cheek buddy. If you haven’t figured it out yet I kinda lean towards sarcasm. It is top shelf stuff imo.

    I understood it to be a reference to the gospel of the middle Tennessee firewood hero.
    "red oak is junk" to paraphrase what the hero originally said.

    I know you like to, like me, use sarcasm, but sometimes I get fooled/confused!:emb:

    Top shelf? Wonder if that Nashville nucklehead would agree? :D

    Make those Benjamins, gotta pay for the toys.:makeitrain"

    It’s for open fireplace burners. They were my best customers last winter. This is their second cord this winter, so I expect they will call at least one more time this winter.
    They discovered the joy of dry wood after being repeatedly burned by the Nashville type.

    Its such a simple concept most wood sellers don't understand or abide by.

    Yep, we try to educate our burners, get some ahead so it can dry...
    We have one fireplace burners that said the wood from last year was to dry and burned up to quick, we had to carry them a load from 1 yr old oak logs, not a green as fresh cut, but wa more than we would burn...
