    Thanks Eric! :handshake:

    Had another trip with TOH limbs and was totally shocked the apple from yesterday wasnt buried. One of the logs I wrestled out with the pickeroon. There was more apple limb wood I could've taken (apologies to WinonaRail) but was content with my haul.
    I have plenty of apple on hand, but hey I'm a hoarder after all! :tree:

    Feel free to drop by with some of that apple! I'd sell every stick in a couple weeks!

    Local dump run yesterday morning. Checked out the brush pile. Not much but couldn't leave it behind.
    An 18" diameter 6" thick red cedar cookie grown in the shape of a Pac man. Very cool that cought my eye. Also a 12" x 12" dead BL chunk.

    With the storm rolling up the coast, dump pickins might improve next week.

    More than likely. Looks like you'll get it a bit worse than me. Be fun to watch the surf at the Cape.

    I have a couple really goods scores (gee what a surprise) in the works so not looking for more wood.

    Old Saybrook transfer station today. 2small pieces of Norway Maple limb wood. One already split! There was allot of small limbs with twigs and smaller branches. The nor’easter from last weekend brought down allot of stuff. IMG_3402.jpeg IMG_3403.jpeg

    I closed up the Beach House today and went to the Old Saybrook transfer Station. I got the best transfer station score I’ve got in awhile. Some Norway Maple, some Red Oak and a piece of red maple. IMG_3465.jpeg IMG_3466.jpeg IMG_3467.jpeg

    My work is doing some lumber yard cleaning. They have about 20 skids of 3x4x48 runners for stacking lumber on that they are going to throw away. I said that I would take them. Going to cut them in half for our garage stove, some are dirty from ground contact. Mostly oak, few cherry and a couple pine. We have a cutoff saw for the back of the tractor I think I will use.

    Sweet Score today at the East Granby transfer station. I took my household trash and recyclables in the morning . I found the one piece of red maple pictured on the grass. I went back in the afternoon with a truck full of leaves, I found some sugar maple limb wood, a decent amount of IMG_3623.jpeg IMG_3624.jpeg IMG_3625.jpeg IMG_3626.jpeg IMG_3627.jpeg
