@Cowboy254 I see a trend with your buddy Rosco. I'm sure you had fun alternating m spending time with a mate but why don't you and he manage to do it in your spring/summer and get him ahead?
That old dear that made the comment about your bonfire wasting firewood .... Was it Mrs Rosco?!

My latest scrounge, delivered to the door by my friendly neighbourhood tree service. Mainly pear, maybe half a cord. I'm behind with my CSSing, with a cord of Oak still to process, but scrounge wise I'm getting into winter 23/24 possibly now .
We are having a heat wave, 28-29C may be cool for some of you but it's humid and hot for us so I'm trying to do little stints with the axe of an evening, only trouble is the mossies!
I was on a volunteer crew that cleared 95 trees out of a 5.5 mile 4WD trail over the weekend. 17 volunteers Saturday, 12 Sunday morning, 8 by end of day Sunday. Half of the volunteers were first timers, so they were swampers. I was one of five qualified sawyers. The last five years there have only been two of us, we got more through the certification class a few weeks ago. The trees ranged from a few inches to 3 feet across.

Nice. What happenss to the wood? Crew get any of it?
Indeed. We dont do extreme hot, cold, windy, wet or dry. What that means is at don't bother to spend cash to cope with any...AC is still very rare in homes and not a rule in offices, we don't have snow ploughs or chains (I'm weird running winter tyres) etc etc. So 30C is getting hot. Our all time record, set last year, it's ,40C /100f. We melted.Heck that's only 80*f give or take.......

Someone's having fun.
Nice haul, I like white oak, it would be my choice if I didn't have all the black locust.
