Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[chipper1]

Been real busy with spring cleaning. Maybe cut some wood next week. Have about 2/3 of my pole building cleaned and my largest shed is cleaned too. Just the tool shed and single stall garage to go after the pole building is done.

My buddy showed up. This guy is 5 or 6 years old now. I worry every year will be his last.

So cute! The last time I tried to feed a brushtail possum he tried to take the finger as well as the food.

Score a mile from home. Best part is he offered just to call me next time instead of posting on Craigslist. Looks like I may have a new friend.

Nice score! I saw the first pic, I thought "that's nice". Then there's a second. And a third. And a fourth. And more after that!

What species?

Great photos as always Dan. I also liked your "friend Richard's" place, great views, shame about the manners

I think I really got you too since photos 1 and 7 are the same! LOL. Those are mostly maple and it's really twisted for a woods tree. Some elm and spruce littered in there also. Next load from my new friend will probably be ash as he has several down. The Friday night load is poplar or cottonwood. But it is all my favorite kind - free!

View attachment 648117 Snow is melting and will be a sloppy mess for a while so scrounge related activity will have to wait. On the plus side, haven’t had to have a fire in the stove for a couple days.

If my house was surrounded by snow like that I doubt my fire burning at full tilt could keep the chill out of the house.

If it goes to 10 degrees C or higher and is sunny, I don’t need a fire. I’m lucky to have a newer well insulated house with a decent amount of windows.

Back with the first load of the day all locust. Headed back after I pick my daughter up from school and a bite to eat. Mulberry for the next load. Scraped the ball pulling in the drive way sign of a good load.

Don’t know why he’d do that when a 45-70 shell will fit right in.

Good stuff. Was it hard driving home with the hood raised?

I'm going to be offline for a little while. We're heading over to check out the fishing conditions in Sam... I mean, we're going to check out Samoa and enjoy a little fishi... I mean, beach time. .

Scrounge on, you blokes.

That would be rubbing salt into the wounds of those who are dealing with melting snow and mud.

A quick derail kinda ,,, 7 years ago I had stopped in at King Di ck's place to load some pine logs I had cut , his wife came up from the beach wearing a leopard print bikini all oiled up with suntan lotion to greet me ,,, I'm glad I was wearing dark sunglasses and I got the logs loaded just the same with a little guy on one shoulder telling me a tale about an ice cold beer and pouring it on ... And another little guy on the other shoulder saying some rubbish about a story with something to do with a covet ... I could hardly hear that guy but I got the trailer loaded just the same lol

True story , a scroungers tale , no pics
