    So the train was blocking road to home. I decided to take the back road to the house. Well just after I cleared the tracks, I noticed a piece of wood. Then another and another. The final piece was a decent chunk, in which it sure appeared to look like Oak. So the better got ahold of me, I proceeded to flash my light on it. It was Oak. I then flipped around and picked up several others, 6 in total...that's 6 more than I started the day with.

    Every little bit adds up over time - looks like almost a day's burning - I do the same! Cheers!

    Nice score! Those always seem to be the most memorable, the ones you don't see coming.

    For sure do it all the time. Have had the back seat of my work / beater car full. Free wood is the best.

    It's OK as long as you don't follow the wood trail to the stack and get caught taking wood from it. :)

    The oak firewood gods have gifted you with 6 wonderful pieces. Did they fall off the train?

    I'm guilty of this also. My wife even stopped one time and picked up a piece and put in the trunk of her car.
