....but, thankyou God, I did. There was some standing dead in the woods behind a golf course that I passed everyday for a month. I suppose the groundskeepers dropped it before it fell on a passing car. "Must be rotten", I said to myself. "Why else would someone have just LEFT it laying there?!"
Well,today I decided to turn the old Ranger around and check it out. Here is pic of a fresh split. Ringing up @ 14% MC. Highest was at the very base (about 23" diameter)....20.5%.....I'll throw that on next years pile.
There were only 3 large pieces that I could lift into the truck b/f dark. I'll cut up the rest tomorrow and bring it home....at least 1/2 cord,maybe a bit more. I can use it,too. The woodshed is running low.
Can't count on it happening often, but I'm happy to have some good fortune now and then. ;-P
