I'm in the same boat. I have a lot of Red Oak down on a friend's ranch that I need to get cleaned up before it gets punky... Should be about 2 cords and change. I really need more Hedge, but there's not enough hot weather left to get it dry enough to burn right in my EPA stove before this season so everything I cut ill be for next year...
I wouldn't say dumb as we've all been there before in some capacity. Life happens. :censored: I had a car that I was hauling a few weeks ago darn near come forward off of the trailer because I used chains on the front and ratchet tie straps on the back. I knew better but I was in a hurry and it almost cost me a lot more than a new trailer jack handle...:msp_scared:
