    Had a call from a friend this afternoon that a tree service had left some logs curbside a couple houses down the street from him.
    I went and knocked on the door and asked if I could take some of it, permission granted to take whatever I wanted. I grabbed one quick load before all the vultures picked it over. Before I was even finished someone else stopped and started loading. Couldn't say no to a quick grab like this. Less than 45 minutes and I was back in my driveway. Bassett Road 2.21.2022.jpg

    Uh oh...are you turning into me? Am i a "bad" influence? ;)
    Holy crap! Nice grab! :thumbs: Love those quick and easy scores. Not too often enough. A lot easier than schlepping sections out of a tangle!

    Honestly ; well no ; it has had more.

    I know I should be ashamed of myself for not filling it to the rim. Won't let that happen again. Sorry for letting you down.
    Actually was not going to get any of it since I have pulled four loads with BRAD over the past couple weeks from another score but this was way to easy to pass up.
    Literally at the curb so able to pull the trailer right up next to it to split and load. Seeing that a good friend lives just a couple houses away he ran over and helped me load I couldn't resist the temptation for a quick and easy load; oops I mean half a load.

    buzz-saw , BRAD gives me crap about not loading my truck, when I have the trailer on the pin. Its my daily.driver, so I'm cautious. But I've gotten into the habit of loading both now.

    Scrounges go a little faster now!

    I like a good ol quick roadside hoard.

    Ive come across a few that werent very quick, still were worth the effort though.

    I used to feel the same but the strong desire to hoard and tired of seeing it sit in front of a house when i drive by time and time again. Worst thing they could say is no.

    Yeah he kind of rubs off on you.
    Just a word of caution ; he has a bad case of CAD so be careful you don't catch that from him too.
