OK, Oldsaw you are not allowed to be mad. I heard a chipper running this AM and wandered around the neighborhood until I found the source. Neighbor directly behind me, 2 big 28" ash trees in the front yard of the house. I had met the tree service guy before and he has left me firewood. Saves him gas and dumping fees. After a short conversation, he jumped in the car so I could show him where I wanted them dumped. A conversation about milling ensued when he saw my stickered ash. He has saved logs and called in a band mill, but usually he only has a couple of logs. (sounds familiar) He has a couple of 088's ( drool) and I showed him my set-up. The end of the story is he is bringing me 2 trunks 28" by 24' cut in to 8' lengths. He is gone for the day, but he is bringing his picker and truck so he can deposit the logs in my yard. I will paint the ends immediately and post some pics when he brings them. My lucky day. He had promised some of the wood to someone for firewood, but he told them they could not have the trunks. Way Cool!
