Like the title says.............

My FIL called my wife last night and asked if I could run out there with the 64 he had some big stuff to cut...I was to bring the trailer as there was some stuff for me to take as firewood...

Well he had two big oaks one was about 28" at the stump the other 30"... Well I cut and he pushed with the John Deere and they both went with no trouble....

After that we walked the lot and it turn out almost all the timber is not worth the trip to the mill so I get it....

This was all I could haul in on trip today..

Have a boat load of big rounds out back that will be there till winter. This is my 4th season wood a wood burning furnace this is the best I have been ahead.
 
Southbound, that is some mighty good firewood. Good job.

Got to go back in a few days...Still 8 or so logs to cut up and take home then I will go after the tops......

It has been in the upper 70's the past few days so It's hard for me to want to split this stuff......
