Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Backyard Lumberjack]

Not an acronym, but I liked the ad "Sorta-Special" "Mint" Right @chipper1 Mint is a subjective term LOL

as in 'very'

kinda like "still in showroom condtion!" lol

or: 'preowned, but still has plenty of curb appeal!'

Those could qualify as very special mint nib right now lol.
My girls had some yesterday, I didn't tell them they were made with organic, free range, gmo free, girl Scouts .

Gotta cut a trail in, I saw a spruce!

 

[KiwiBro]

Sure. Maybe do a new thread so things don’t get buried in here?

Go for it. Good luck.

That’s a lot of wood! Will keep you busy for a while!

I've had people guess at better then 2 cord in the trunk alone and another in the top.

Mostly dragged brush today. Never was a fan. Shoulda burnt the pile first have to wait till next winter now.

Is it stihl growing? Looks kinda dead looking. Which means you should scrounge it and take pics. Let us know when you're done.

It's alive and well! Scrounge that old girl and they'll string you up for poachin'.

I think its certainty that much. Look up the weight of red oak when green and then weigh a few pieces, if I remember correctly its around 5400 a cord green. I wouldn't want to haul a 12' section of that trunk on my trailer and I can haul a cord on it no problem.

I have seen a few of those!! half crown 2 n 6. was worth about 35-cents back when we live in England. if my memory serves me right. the penny's were a bit bigger. and smaller, too. there were farthings and hay-pences, too. half a penny! a 'carry out, eat it now small bag of chips (fish n chips) was 3d. 3-pence. "thrup-'ence" . 3d was unique... brass-ish and not round. multi-hex. and bus ride to swimming pool was a 'penny~apes!' the conductor would call out loud, almost indifferent to us being onboard. penny and a half. a shilling would buy a lot of stuff. choco bars ice cream, so delish... 6d. shilling was about a dime in value. shilling 12d. 10 shilling, paper... half-pound... was about $1.40. the pound, £1, = to the dollar at $2.80 exchange rate. look at it now! and LN can correct me if I am wrong, think a quid was 21 shillings.

there was a saying the Blokes liked to use regarding the general, sometimes under the table attitudes about... the rich Americans

" ...under worked, over paid, over sexed... and over here !"

lol

part of my heritage and lineage, I liked living in England!

"thanks for the mems!"

oops yes, you're right, a shilling became the 5 pence and the 10 pence was 2 shillings, 6d and 12d in old money.

the saying started with GIs I think
