Courtesy of NYSEG, our electric service provider. They've been trimming power lines in the neighborhood this week. Much of what they're cutting is small nusance stuff. Crew was in front of my house on Tues, talked to one of the guys about scrounging and he told me where some of the best stuff was and that it is OK with them to take it. Tried to talk him in to taking down a big old poplar along the road, but he didn't go for it. Anyway, hooked up the trailer this morning, and went to a couple of spots. loaded stuff that was anywhere from 10 ft long to already stove length. Brought it home, cut it up and stacked the rounds. Mostly white and red pine, some maple and birch. Figure I will wait for a nice cold single digit temp day later this winter to split the pine, much easier when it is frozen and less sticky and messy too. Was going to head out for another load, but it started raining and it is only 38* here. and I was getting a little damp and chilled. Always tomorrow.
