You're confused. The bus guy (me) has buses. The tax guy has good advice.

Woops, that's embarrassing lol. Not sure how messed that up so bad. Thanks
Regarding tarps, for te guys that are looking for good material keep your eyes open for those cover-all type buildings that use a metal tube structure an a gray tarp. People put them up to park their boat, lawn mower or cars into. Heavy winds and snow damage the metal tubes and then the people throw away the entre thing. The tarps will last 20 years if you can get your hands on it. I have a large L shaped section and it works great. White on one side and grey on the other. Just google "coverall" and you will see what I'm talking about. Up here in snow country they don't last very long. I was eyeing one that had collapsed but it was gone before I could ask to have it. I'm still looking for another.
I had one, and it was destroyed in a snow storm. That tarp was about triple thickness compared to standard.
Another thing to use is the tarps that lumber yards have from dimensional lumber shipments.

Next door neighbor offered to help me with my wood. I ....................what was I talking about? Damn global warming!
You can find used billboard vinyl on Google. There is a place near me in Minnesota that sells it. Looks pretty affordable.

I doubt she could keep up with the shoeless wood splitter.

Mainewoods, first you got a moose to skid logs for ya.....now you got her as a helper?!? Man I'm gonna move to Maine. PS I see she has excellent taste in saws.
Anybody looking for instant, fill yer boots, scrounges in the CT panhandle area, PM me. Local Land Trust has a buttload of bucked black locust & white ash. More than you can imagine. Just waiting for kind souls to come and load up. Most all Sandy blowdowns, so most of the bark is falling off the BL. Most of the rounds, you can drive a p/u right next to.
We'll be dropping & bucking lots more BL later this week. C'mon down @MechanicMatt. Don't even bother to pack a saw. Trailer & a p/u- load & go. You might want to split some of the bigger ones first; I'll be happy to lend you a maul.
All seriousness aside, this is all wood that our Morbark 8 can't accomodate. Help is appreciated making it go away. Lots more wood on other Land Trust sites in town. Just ask. I can only take so much.

Hey I actually tagged somebody correctly, hahahaha
Tonight's scrounge included two stepladders, three sawhorses, another work table, four jigsaws, three sleeping bags, three tool boxes, and boxes full of smaller tools. Also some bonus taxidermy: a pike, walleye, and LMB. Going back tomorrow 
I knew you had in you, really I did. Actually, if you just click on [Reply] that'll accomplish TWO things: notify the original poster AND include in your msg what it is you're replying to. Good form, eh? PM forthcoming.
The wood in question would be suitable for 2015/16 season, as you probably know.

Well some of you on here know I have two nephews that are 18 & almost 21, if you've read some posts in other threads you know they don't have the best "man" role model. My dad, uncle (mustangmike) and I kinda fill in as there role model by comittee. While I was just brining in firewood, freazing my butt off, I had to smile and think about them. When I was on vacation with my girls, the boys sent me a pic on my phone. It was from the younger one, it was a pic of the older one standing near the wood pile at my house, they had just split and stacked at my house. I didn't ask them to go there, they took it upon themselves to go there and put insome work. Made me feel like the actually appreciate me working on their cars all the time for them. That extra cord they knocked out that day sure feels good this time of year.
