Yesterday was hot, but not as hot as today. So I went on a bike ride late morning. Got back around 1:30-2:00. Wife said a neighbor came to borrow an axe. Seems he got his saw hung. She told him to take the cant hook too. When I got home I got on the atv and went to investigate.
He got the saw out okay and there were two of them cutting up a white oak top (had done some logging). they were cutting in lengths that they could carry to the trailer and the trailer had to be a bit further than they wanted because of loose sand and getting stuck.
So, I asked if they had a chain and they did. I then hauled out several logs so they would not have to carry them. Naturally they cut some longer ones for me to haul out. Got the job done.
(Actually this fellow is not a neighbor but owns some land next to us). But here is the catch. He is a minister and was cutting wood for one of his congregation. He does this annually to help the guy out. Tis okay, and I did not say anything but..... The oak was cut about a month ago. The wood will be burned this coming winter. Did he really help the guy? I do plan on bringing this up to him when others are not around. I think he would do much better to cut dead stuff like he normally does.
