2 of maple that the power company cut and left on a friend of mine's street:

Aside from the 2 mentioned above, the rest my brother and I have felled, bucked, and hauled. He gets his truck and my 1st trailer full, while I get my truck and 2nd trailer full. For some I've had to do some climbing to drop them into a tighter area to avoid some fences. He snapped this cool picture in the process:

A nice 3/4 cord load stacked care of my 7 and 9 year old daughters who earned “any ice cream they want” tonight.

The Cowkids also load for me. I say to them that a day's work doesn't always end up in ice cream. But in reality, it does, and the uncertainty makes it all the more exciting at the end for them. This was yesterday.

This is the first time the girls have done a significant amount of loading for me. I told them ANY ice cream they want so they can chose their favorite bars or a whole gallon to share with the family.

Love the dog pic. Is that an American Bulldog?
 
We've teamed up with a local tree service to start producing 1x planks to sell to local ranchers to use for windbreaks for their livestock. He's been spreading the word and just took down these CW(said they were poplar but I think they are CW) for us to get started milling. He'll have another couple loadS for us Monday. Already have one rancher interested in 100 boards. Haven't even started advertising them yet lol
