    Currently scrounging and cutting on a co-worker's farm to start building up my 3 year plan with a little help from the legend himself, Mr. Eric VW.

    Last pic was a nice scrounge of apple by Eric VW. Caught the guy outside his house that was apparently "starting his weekend early." And from what I'm told, even loaded most of the truck for him!

    That’s how hawdahs with tricky lower backs get it done!
    :salute:

    Ol’ MarkG got him some noodlin’ ‘sperience on the oak up top, for sure.
    Maybe he’ll post the pics of yesterday’s take.... even the famed splitting machine Fire Flake helped out!
    :yes:

    I thought about making a very similar comment, but let it pass.

    I surely hope I'm not going soft.

    :yes:

    The large trunk was a bear. Had to wrap a chain around it and pull it away from an electric fence.

    Here's the pics from yesterday's haul. Keep in mind this is all from the large trunk.
    1st round, which was actually quite hollowed out!

    That was the apple load I had “help” loading, last Friday. My intention was to hit the Sheetz but stopped a few houses up from our place when I saw the unassuming immediate future loader standing in his yard.
    Once loaded, I proceeded to the Sheetz, got gas and various other sundries and returned home.
    Fire Flake was like, “where’d ya go hon?”
    I said, “Look out the front door.”
    :D

    No ‘Jangles.....:salute:
