I'm working on a couple of Black Locust scores, but I'm almost hoping they fall through. I'm worried that if I try it I'll never be able to get off the stuff.ploughboy said:

Great post, funny stuff! :lol:
Yeah, the family and neighbors think I am obssessed to some degree like the rest of us here, until they quietly melt into the couch on a cold winter day and don't want to leave. Then, all is forgotten.
The stove gives me all the love and warmth that I used to get from everybody. It is a lonely world here. :smirk:

More bad news....I had a secret stash of some of the sweetest tinder you'd ever seen. Primo stuff, like you really can't find anymore..it will light if you rub it too hard, a combination of milkweed down, inner birch bark and just a pinch of the small hemlock twigs you find down on the trunk, the ones that usually are still dry after even the heaviest rainstorm.....aaaaaahhh. Well, I was saving it for next Winter and a special occasion. My wife was down in my shop looking for something and found it. When she confronted me with it I really didn't know what to say and I panicked. I said it belonged to one of my best friends, and she knows that he burns too, so maybe she bought it. I'm so ashamed.
OK it's bad,
Went on scrounging overtime since the snow melted and seem to be finding it all over, filled all the pallets I used over this winter added a few more and starting splitting and stacking on them. See a CL add for free wood about 8 miles away figure I could use a little more to round off the piles, pull 4 trailer loads home and pile them up by the splitter finaly get around to start splitting instead of collecting more, about an hour into it I realize I've got alot more wood then I think, really should stop. A half hour later my hero neighbor ( he's my hero because he is 80 heats almost entirely with scrounge wood he cuts and splits swings a mean maul ) comes over and says " they starting cutting an ash 2 blocks away if I want any" most of the stuffs to big for him to handle by himself so its kind of asking for help. In my hjaste to get there I spill bar oil all over my saw, leave splits were they fell, practically leave the splitter running.
my half
rounding out stacks

Hi. My name is snowleopard, and I am a woodstalker.
I saw a couple of wood trucks hauling on the road the other day. Everyone else was trying to get around them. I followed them, estimating length and cordage as I drove. When they turned off to a mill, I followed them, and got the name and number of the dealer who was driving one of the trucks.
My babies need shoes, and I bought a chainsaw. And an F-250 flatbed.
Thanks for listening.
