I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorry to here of your loss.
Prayers sent.
My father is still around and although the relationship is strained I still would need much time to grieve the loss.
Grieving is a process to which there are many stages and this is only one.
Take care to honor him in how you grieve and support others as they do the same.

Just kidding of course. I thoroughly enjoy his input and camaraderie.

Sorry to hear it Wood Nazi. Even expected, it's still not something you are ever prepared for.

I started my annual freezer scrounge today. 50 peeps @ $1.75/bird:
The scrounging won't stop if I buy some hardwood and I may even have got on his list to drop straight on my driveway. No more Skoda log haulin' possibly !

Only if you promise to not feel guilty about abandoning the trucking business. LOL
Picked this up yesterday to add to the wood scrounging arsenal. Haven't determined if it's worth it to make it completely roadworthy or just use as a woods trailer, but the price was right (free!) Appears that it even has LED taillights. The rest of it is a little long in the tooth though.
I want the boat!
Nice. Plus if those are bias ply tires you can sell them to white spider!

fine little trailor
Well , the wood shed is completely empty of the 2015/16 hardwood and I don't want to jump into my 2016/17 stash so off to the scrounging zone we went .
Had some black spruce pecker poles that we had cut up from a cull de sac that Jerry and I cleared last summer , the Zogger wood sized stuff was dry but 3" and up was too wet for my liking
So off to a stash pile we went but we never made it , we stopped before we got to the piles and scrounged a load of wood in an unlikely place , a swamp .
It was full of dead standing black spruce so Jerry went in with the saw to see if it was worth the effort .
Yup , solid wood , no bark , silver/grey in colour
I ended up being the porter
At least he cut me a trail to the truck ...
This was at the 1/4 way point in
We got a couple of piles like this roadside .
Managed to make for a couple of loads of stove ready firewood .
Scrounge on gentleman !

A little bit of extra wood burning going on around hear this spring. We go from near record warm in the winter, to near record cold now! I think Mother Nature is going through the change!
Hot flashes and cold flashes , oh well , at least the forest fire index is really low up here .

Photo bomb scrounge style.
The piles
I'm in nowhere land so I'll wait until I get to wifi before trying to upload anymore pics. This was the small pile and we didn't put a dent in it. Car trailer full, stacked not thrown. Hackberry and Honey locust.

Ooh you can just tell how dry that stuff is!
I can imagine when you were bucking it the whole log was vibrating and humming like a tuning fork.
