I got my third and final truckload of wood today from a field by my work. It is a giant red oak which blew down last fall. I've been eyeing it all winter. Finally ran into the owner a week ago.
This last load (cutting from the top) brought me to where three large branches converge, and it is supported here, and then fifty feet away to the rootball. The cut I would have to make is not scary on normal sized wood, but is here. The trunk is several feet off the ground. If I get the trunk on the ground, it is easily 2 years of wood, possibly 3. I would have to build another shed. Sometimes an axe is safer than a saw.
 
Dropped an elm and an oak in the parents front yard. Easy trailer acess and neighbors bobcat for hauling limbs and brush made this one a cinch.

Just refilled the inside wood rack for the last time here at home. Should still be 1/2-3/4 full yet on Friday for the new owners. Friday I need to remember to change my location and other info.

I moved a little more wood to the porch from a small 3/4 cord stack I have to relocate for a project this summer anyways. It’s mostly hickory, red and white oak and possibly some maple mixed in. I brought over about 30 splits maybe it will be the last for the season, maybe not!

We put in a small load of ash & maple today. After putting in firewood, I cleaned off the sander and parts of the tractor, the sander was wiped down after cleaning it, next is greasing it.
