So I see that my neighbor down the street has an oak tree on his curb...probably 18" through the middle, easily an 80 y.o. tree. Closer looks reveals that it is a red oak, green as grass, nothing punky on it that I could see. My recall is that it was a nice healthy tree until Sat., when it was felled, bucked and put out for the city to take to the dump. I naturally go interested. He said that it had a "great big dead limb" that overhung his street parking, so he paid a tree removal company to whack the whole thing. Would he like me to cut some to fireplace length for him? Nah, he'll just buy some wood this winter if he needs it. Big, young, healthy guy you understand. By nightfall it was in all in my pile. I suppose that I shouldn't be too upset, I mean, that is his business, and my gain. One many gathers what another man spills, after all. Irony is, he didn't even know he spilled it.
