    Got a good pile, and just keep cutting when it is available! You may remember those cutting boards I told you about. I have burned roughly 25 pallets of them from Oct 15th til now, and have 3 pallets left. So still haven't started burning from lean to yet, looking like i can make it til Jan 1. Supposed to be 60 here Saturday.

    Nice Greg! I remember those boards.

    I could hardly believe how warm it got this afternoon. I think we hit 55 or right around there. Even saw a couple blossoms on forsythia bushes! Crazy.

    Got a good bit of hack on the property. Good mid grade burning wood. Splits pretty good and dries <1 year. Did for me anyway

    Hack, so far I've only split the stuff, it sucked. I've never seen such a stringy tree in my life. I hope it burns better than it splits.

    I pushed quite a few, (around 40-60) hackberries this summer with the dozer. Reckon they'd still be good? I usually just cut oak, as it seems like that's all anyone will burn around here.

    Nice wood and court. I can imagine quite a few battles out there along with a game of HORSE or two.
    Makes me want to pave my driveway lol.

    Hackberry's good wood but its gotta be split and stacked off the ground pretty quickly because it's prone to rot if its left on the ground.

    Some pretty big stuff, so I hate to waste the fact that I have it all waist high on the trailer. I'm going to split it tomorrow as I take it off instead of dumping it and put it on top of my 16/17 pile. I think OWB will find it delicious Oct-Dec.
