went to town for a haircut and diesel fuel. barbershop was closed an extra hour for lunch today. so i'm at the gas station and this big yellow boom truck with tree branches piled in it pulls up to the pump beside me. of course i asked him what he does with all his extra wood. he said unless the customer wants it he tries to find someone that wants it. told me he couldn't believe it was so hard to give wood away.so i whip out my farm market business card and said call me. BTW his name was Woody.

evening scroungers. enjoying all the pics the last few days. except for stihly dan's trailer. i'm a cold weather scrounger. 95* here today and more this week. nomad_ archer, my buddy stopped today and told me when he was coming home from the races last nite there was a big rack buck standing in the road in front of my shop. when he stopped, he said it walked over and stood in front of my woodpile.(see guys wood is in the story.) have a swell evening fellars.

Umm, well ya do know, summer scrounging is easier, around here better get it whilst its there lol sometimes its even cut for u already I split in 100 plus temps last week , why? No one called for climbing so i figured I would get my wood bank rich lol.

Another small load tonight. This time oak. Spent the balance of the evening catching up on splitting the maple from a week or so ago.

I am trying to get it all split and stacked before my trip to the cabin this week. I am working hard to keep up with the small loads that keep coming in. Maybe I can catch up tomorrow because I don't need to mow the grass this week since it is not growing like crazy.

Today was oak.

@nomad_archer Good job. Slow and steady wins the wood race.

Uncle Mike, got a few berries, black and raseberry. Somehow I think more ended up in the kids bellies than the container we were using

No scrounging today, had to put a new brake caliper on the firewood hauler. Did get to run my new toy though, a ported wild thing bought from GrassGuerilla.

Now I know most of us when on a scrounge we all try to get the last bit in here's a photo I think has gone a little over board

It sure is, but I think I'll rename it the purple pug eater

One for picker, one for the bucket, that's the rule

If I click my heels together and say "There's no place like winter" you think it would help ????
That was a 3:00 and not on the hot side of the shop .
Sure is hard to even preplan a scrounge at these temps . My hat's off to you Southerners but I'll be kinda happy to strike a match LOL

Have a Black Crown Tall boy or two Dan and regain your senses.

I'm dreading the annual stove talks with my neighbor.

October....Do you think......"No"

Late October....Say I was wondering should we...."H#ll No"

November...You know it's the beginning of November..."Man...F@#$ No..Turn the propane on"

I always lose as soon as there are multiple frost days in a row. " Fine...just fine...lite the damn thing"....aaaaaand we both get hammered for the celebratory lighting of the stove and the end of Ben's normal life as he knows it for the next 7 months.

It's all good.
