...calls me just before lunch time today and asks I I have any use for some firewood??
Well, heck yeah I do.
He asks If I go home for lunch??
Well, I sure can if ya' need me to.
He tells me he has a load of firewood and don't want to dump it in the wrong place.
I've known this guy for years and do business with him... he owns the shop that services our work vehicles, and I do his business-band two-way radio work.
So I head on home and find my gloves... 'cause I'm figgurin' he's wantin' help unloading.
And this is what pulls in my yard‼
So he tells me the stuff was cut and piled spring of 2013... should be good to go this year if'n I get it split pretty soon. Says he has somewhere in he neighborhood of 1½ more loads if'n I'm interested (seems some guy took on the job of clearing some river property for the firewood, disappeared and never returned). He tells me he's just lookin' for a place to get rid of it.
Heck, I told him to bring it on‼
I gave it a quick look-over; appears to be mostly elm with maple, oak and walnut mixed in... I didn't see one stick of Box Elder (but I haven't sorted through it either).
All cut to length... ready to be split and burned‼
I offered him a beer... said he'd take a rain-check, smiled, and drove away.
