typical Swellsley attitude - lol!

I've been burning mostly sugar maple this week. It's good wood. I've been burning mostly oak and locust. I'm impressed with sugar maple. Should be a good score for one of you Red Sox fans.

Maybe this means "thank you, come and get it." A more detailed reply would help. I'd reply with a question "When can I come and pick up the wood?" 2 cords of Sugar maple are worth a few emails.

2-3 cords in a single tree? Must be multiple or face cords.

What did you write "
"Good morning, nice wood" and forget the nice and the comma ?

Same here. Almost 3 1/2 from a monster Shagbark that was on edge of timber/cornfield back in '83 or '84.

Have a meeting out that way tomorrow - think a Chevy Impala can hold two or three cords?

 

[Llamaman]

maybe this response will work - "Hi, your wood gives me wood"

 

[WES999]

I asked again if the wood was available, here is the response:

Gone. Send complete info for future wood loads. I need complete info for client security. Thank you.


I replied What info do you need? You have my name and Email.


Guy appears to run a tree service, but this is weird.

one way to find out.... load it up

 

[Thistle]

This isnt a Chevy Impala but.....

After meeting my sources for pickup a few times, I give them full info. It helps them with their clients especially when you show up after dark backing a trailer across their lawn in a nice neighborhood. Works for me as it means I don't have to find a way to get out of work early.

He prolly has celebrity/millionaire clients living in a gated community. Gotta keep the riff raff out ya know.

Ya Hear you, but this guy must think I am a mind reader. Like I am supposed to guess what he is thinking. :-S a little info might be nice.

Well got to go go now and apply for my top secret security clearance.

Wish that deal was closer to me as I would have snagged a deal like that!
