If you want to add me to your friend list, and bring them here, I’ll round up a friend and we’ll split them while you sit and watch and drink some cold beer. I’ll even buy the beer of your choice. (lol)

The last tree that I cut had been pushed over by the city on a road side, I got permission from the city to salvage it. By this time, I had bought a tractor with a frontend loader so cutting and loading the logs was a piece of cake, If I had only had one way back when......
