I came across this pile a couple nights ago, but couldn't get to it for a couple days.

It was taller when I saw it first. About 60' of Red Oak stacked about 3' high. Quite a bit had been picked by the time I got there, but I still git some good stuff. Unfortunately, most of it is cut at nearly 2' long. I grabbed some shorter ones. I've been fighting off a cold so I ran out of strength before I ran out of room in the truck. This is the first wood that I have split since March and boy am I out of practice! After splitting a couple 24" diameter by 20" long rounds into small enough pieces to lift onto the truck I was pooped and my elbow hurt. I'm hoping that I can get back in shape soon. I have a lot of work to do.

Can't go wrong with red oak when it's ready. Rare to find the good stuff sitting along the road. Good score, hope u feel better soon!

I saw a bunch of logs down on Route 100 just before Muskoot Farm in Millwood.....but that was a while back. Grab it while you can.

Thanks for the heads up, but I don't have to travel that far. There's more than enough for the next two years within 2 miles of my house!

I'll be headin' down to Cortlandt to visit my brother and Nephews....maybe I should take the truck and leave the car at home

 

[Flatbedford]

I would, but don't come too close to my place!

Nice score, Flatbed. I hate working when I'm under the weather, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Glad to see you got some of the good stuff. The longer rounds, I'd be cutting them so at least one piece was long enough for the stacks, the smaller cut-offs would get split up and thrown in the uglies bin (the area between my two rows of stacked splits).

Hope you feel better for Christmas, have a good one bud!

It gets better as you get older
You get more pooped & more things hurt LOL

Nice score.
Take your time & hurry

Ha! Don't believe bogydave! Well, at least that first line.

Hope you feel better really quick Steve. Wrestling the oak doe make the muscles work and you need all your strength.

I had a good hit on some red oak today myself. I've been checking this pile of wood out everyday for the last 2 weeks, as I drive in to work. It falls in to a no mans land of who should have taken it away. The pile falls just on the line of the town road and the entrance to the Merritt parkway. Only have my Subaru to haul with, so this is going to take sometime. Did 2 loads today. Steve get some rest at work this week
