Hey all,

I had a good weekend. Saturday left out, went by a friends house where he had some apple wood. You know, "just a little". Half a truck load in a short box P/U. Went from there over to one of the boss's house. They were cleaning up the neighborhood from an ice storm. Had a truck load of alder they were going to burn, said I could just back up and take it. Spent a couple hours cutting up a big ol' alder tree in the boss' back yard. It's stacked in his back yard till it dries up a bit. Weekend after next he's got some logging buddies coming over and they will fell some more trees. Right where I stacked my wood up he's having them bring down 3 more trees for me to cut up and stack. Oh yeah, the guy I got the apple from. He's got a one ton tilt bed stake side truck I can borrow to haul all this wood to the house. By the time I'm done I could have 20 - 30 cords if I wanted. I'll probably stop at less than that.

Anyone need wood?

Also, while cutting I broke my chain saw. It's OK I inherited it from a guy who didn't want to fix it up the first time. Anyways, went to Sears. Wanted a Poulan 221 they had there. On the shelf for $149, told them on the web it was $139. He said sorry the one on the shelf was the last one he had, would I take it if he gave me 20% off. Damn tootin. Final cost $109. Only thing it was missin was the owners manual. I came home and printed it off the web.

So Saturday after next I get to use my saw on a bunch of threes. I'll get it warmed up and broke in with the alder I brought back from the boss'.

Once I get thee camera from work I'll get us some pictures, I got apple, alder, maple, and pear.

Sounds like sombody hit paydirt, we had a huge ice storm here in KC just over 2 yrs ago. Wished the smokin' bug had bit me before then, I'd still have wood stacked as high as the fences all around the yard. Oh well at least in this neck of the woods its available at reasonable to free.
