All of them came out in my arms or on my shoulder. Not much left though.

"Not much left" is definitely a good thing!

I won't criticize any man who works that hard gathering firewood. The heat you get from that wood is going to feel particularly nice this winter.

Me too! Well...this and the Kate Upton turned 23 thread (whether there are new posts or not)
Had to pass up a free snowblower (needed recoil restrung) this morning as I had dress clothes on. If it's still there tonight it's coming home.
I'm probably "smart like bull" to be spend my time carrying aspen out of the woods lol. Just didn't want to see it rot.

Out, standing in my field.
Passed on a free snowblower because you didn't want to get dirty! I would have to say that even if it doesn't run, you can always get a new dress shirt!
The wrecked clothing would have cost more than value of the snowblower when repaired. If I wasn't sore from hauling wood all weekend I probably could have clean jerked it into the truck but in my banged up state that wouldn't happen. I'd bet it will be there later

svk, that is why I carry a tyvek suit in truck. You never know what you may need to crawl under the truck or pick up a snowblower and not want to ruin good clothes. Since I am in need of a snowblower I would have been all over that "scrounge" dress clothes or not. Tyvek suit up and pick that sucker up and into the back of the truck.
That's a good idea. I normally have warm weather clothes along in the winter. I once had to jump out of dress clothes into my hunting clothes to change a tire. The changing itself could have been done in dress clothes but getting the spare tire out from under the truck bed would have been a challenge.

My MIL called me the other day and asked me if I wanted a Tiller off of the side of the road? I said, YES!
Then she dropped the bomb. Well, it was there a couple of days ago, but I forgot to call you then. I thought I had her trained better than that.
Of course it was gone when I ran over there after work. Oh well....

My MIL donated a bunch of antique fishing stuff to the thrift shop because it was from her ex husband. I always watched it in her garage but never asked because I just assumed it came from her dad (who died quite young). I went right over to the thrift shop when I found out but it was long gone.

I passed a massive oak tree piled up in someone's front yard that other day, and I cannot stop thinking about it. The problem is that I have no way to practically pick it all up. The rounds are over 3' across and there is a BIG pile of them. It makes my back hurt just thinking about trying to load them. In all honesty, I would be happy just getting the pile of limbs. There are several of them that are about 8' across buried under all the smaller top limbs. It would be a pile of work to get that scrounge. I have plenty of smaller wood closer to my house, so I am just going to try and forget about it......
3 wedges, Fiskar x27 and x7 hatchet, 2 gal of mix, 1 gal of bar oil, a quart of bar oil for reserve, 16' log chain, 80' 1/2" rope, couple if tinted and non tinted safety glasses, bandana, hard hat, chaps, couple pair of leather gloves, flat file, round file, scrench or two, 3 splitting wedges and a 8 lb maul, ear plugs for backup, 3M work tunes ear muffs, a pair of firewood grippers and usually 2 of my saws.

Don't you have a good saw that can noodle those rounds to make em easier to carry? If not, ya need one!!!!

Believe me, that pile laughs at my Forester and 8' trailer.
I think I am going to run over there in a minute, see if the homeowners are there, and what they intend to do with that pile of wood.

So all the big stuff is gone. The city picked it up this morning. The homeowner said I could get whatever I wanted out of the pile that is still to be picked up. She said it will be next week before the city is back. So for me, there is several trailer loads to be gotten. It is 5 minutes from my office, so I will bringing the trailer with me to work for a couple of days. In the first picture, that large log is ~13" across. There are several large limbs tucked under all those leaves. The pile is at least 60' long and I tried to get a picture from each side. I wish I had my trailer with me right now!!!
I think this is an oak, but any idea what variety?
