You'd be surprised how some people get set in their ways. Try telling someone 10% ethanol in gasoline isn't going to rot hoses, melt plastic, corrode metal like acid, grow hair on your palms and generally muck up your chances of reproduction. Makes saying dry wood burns better practically easy by comparison.

One station in town has 100% Gasoline 10 cents more no ethanol, I buy for my small engines there for sure. motor vehicles when can. Actually for the heck of it I pulled out my Owners Manuels and they all said same NO ETHANOL
The older I get, the more I learn and the more I try to put myself in the other person's shoes...including someone who's letting me come on their land to get wood. It's all part of growing older, I guess. These youngsters will no doubt wise up as the years go by like everyone else does, to a greater or lesser extent...Backwoods Savage said:
Update on the fellows who cut that wood last year. I ended up kicking them out as I just was not happy with what they were doing. They did have the gonads to ask about cutting more already this year. Sorry guys.
So I pass one of the guys places and he had a small stack left from last spring. Completely covered with tarp all summer; still covered and the size of the pile has not grown a bit. So here we are into the cutting season and he had asked me about cutting back in late September and has done nothing since. He asked me in September about the cutting but had no plans to cut before December or January..... Some learn slow; some never learn. My bet is that he has no wood lined up to cut at all for this winter.
