No scrounging here today. Did a bunch of Christmas stuff with my girlfriend and her two daughters til about 230ish. Yesterday I decided to move wood into the shop for heat and dry storage.

Seldom right...Always opinionated!
I scrounged up some box elder that had to come down on a fence line and finished splitting a couple cords that I bucked the last week while the weather was nice.
Perch, than crappie, than walleye is my winter fishing list.

Not firewood but will be some day. I took my Japa processor to put it inside a shed where I work so that it's there when I have time to work on it later this year. I brought home 70 skids on the return trip.
Scrounged up four chainsaws and a weed whacker yesterday for $35. See the "you suck" thread for pics 
A lot of people don’t like box elder (more commonly called Manitoba maple up here). I find it makes decent firewood once dry. I’m burning a lot this year that I cut 2 years ago.
I just need the dang ground to freeze. Cant do anything fun for the mud.
Just like willow round here, let alone basswood...........I burn a load of it, keeps me warm.

I burn plenty but was almost all oak last year somehow. Maybe 1 cord elm and boxelder. This year have plenty elm and cherry to mix with oak.
Next year's pile is long on cherry. Now I will start to take some boxelder and elm blow downs just cause they are here. 1 is huge the other is just 10-12". But there is more oak to take so it's hard to make time for the light white woods.
I don't hate it as firewood but it's same labor for less BTU's and there is usually way lots of brush to manage.
Not sure I’ll be able to get on here later so Merry Christmas everyone! And have a safe happy new year.
To you too Nate, and everyone else. I just put the garbage out, and it is snowing, we may end up with a White Christmas! (But I still have summer tires on the Mustang, so I may have to drive the Escape). You don't want to drive the Mustang in the white stuff w/o the Blizzack tires!

There not that bad in the snow. I learned to drive in the snow in a foxbody. Probably why I laugh when I hear people say rear wheel drive is terrible in the snow. Rather have the rear sliding then a front wheel drive plowing straight off the road.

<shaking head> Not frozen yet and supposed to be 40s, maybe even hit 50 with rain this week. </shaking head>
Got an old Ramsey RE winch with a trailer I bought. Does rebuilding it and making a front mount for it on the truck while waiting for a freeze count as a scrounge? It'll be used to load logs if that matters.
Merry Christmas scroungers!

Muddy here also. Right at freezing at night and 40ish during the day. I'm not going to complain though. Makes heating the house alot easier.

Talking we could see a foot of snow between wed and Fri. That will shut me down as far as bringing anything out of the woods.
I remember driving my 67 Cuda to school with L60 bias tires on the back, in the snow, it was like snow ski's. We bought a brand new Caprice in 1990, I think. It was the first year for the big egg shaped Caprice. It started to snow on the way home from the inlaws, a little over 20 miles. In a few minutes it was almost a complete white out. My wife kept crying we should have bought a front wheel drive mini van. Took about an hour to get home, we never slid an inch, and passed 6 mini vans in the ditch. I'll take RWD with posi any day over FWD. Here's a pic of the 67 at Ocean City, MD in 73-74. You could see from Ocean Highway to the water, now it's all hi rise condo's.
Now that I have a scanner, I'll have to scan and post some of my old car pics. Wish I had all of them, but I have a few.
