We have had alot more fire trucks going by the homestead this last week. I wonder if it's chimney fire season? I have also been seeing a lot of P/U's with less than dry wood getting deliverd.
I have told more than one guy you would have an easier time convincing the really daft folks that it was seasoned if your saw wasnt stuck in the pile in the back and the splitting maul in the front seat.
chimney fires and of coarse fires started by folks trying to stay warm at night with space heaters. The cold weather brings out the desperate in folks, along with the wood hacks that sell "seasoned" wood that they just whacked down this morning.
It never ceases to amaze me when I stop by our local farmers market and these guys are parked there with a pickup load of fresh cut red oak, and try and pass it off as "seasoned".

I shudder to think what some of the chimneys look like around this county!
I have a couple of red oaks standing dead two years and i'll bet 32% is low on the trunks. Oak wilt has killed a lot of trees around here.
And I thought this thread was about fire trucks..... :msp_angry:
You ain't kiddin'... Oak holds a lot of water... Is Higgins lake just as clear as it used to be about 20 years ago? Kinda miss that area... Not in January mind you, but still think it's beautiful country up there...

Sorry but I like yours better than the new ones.
Higgins lake is still as clear as it was 20 years ago. I fish it alot in the winter for smelt and perch
