    Got the red oak S/S-off tomorrow but rain in forecast. We’ve received record rainfall this year, last I heard was @68” 08734836-2989-49FE-A676-EF256001BB5F.jpeg A7CFCACD-40C3-4C58-A317-33A9F5BE09C5.jpeg 77D89541-727E-4E9C-94B4-0ECB209102F5.jpeg E6861B18-1BCE-47DD-875D-E35EFAB1C877.jpeg A1C917BE-F897-486E-BA3B-177ADF2C8FB0.jpeg

    Congrats on the score!!

    Great looking firewood Ash! Every bit helps... Crazy wet year we've had! I don't think it ever got dry since last winter around my parts. Great pics and thanks for sharing.

    What's not to like about white and red oak?!! :)

    Blessings to your family this new year. :)

    That's a great score!

    Did you need to change chains from any mud?

    A nice day out in the woods there Ashwatcher , the way you took the photos, it's almost like we were there with you. Man I need to get out in the woods, I'm so sick of steel and concrete here at work.

    Thanks to all, was a good day on Sat, high 40’s-Sunday was 60, today was 65
    No, Horkn , the 261 CM limped home and is already good to go again-had the little limb saw with me as well but didnt need-If it would just dry up or freeze up, I’m ready to get in a groove to catch up from last years woes...Gotta a good friend w/OWB who’s scored a tract full of oak and hickory just timbered and he has an excavator with thumb to run and let me drop rounds straight to truck beds and trailers...too muddy to get it on site...have another friend with band mill who’s a logger so in case we need an ark....
    Happy New Year to all the great folks of FHC!!! :coldone::rootintootin:
