Ya know I am embarrassed to admit this but it looks like you have better capacity with your mini van than I do with my Nissan Pickup :-O although no live bugs in my truck but the dash is littered with dead stinkbugs.
 
the treecutter hasn't finished cutting up the trunks (due to the heat I presume)
so I have a feeling I will be dragging my trailer up there after work sometime this week.

Only thing is, the neighborhood is in a BAD part of town for my ethnicity....so I might have to carry my pistol while I am stacking....
 
Man that looks good; I never burned Pecan and don't see it up my way, but it looks real good....

I mean it's in a crime ridden part of the ghetto, and I would only go during the day

it's awesome firewood, akin to Hickory, but even better in a smoker ;)

too bad they didn't cut it in the winter because it's full of sap. The stump look like someone painted it with contact cement after it was cut

He's a Hatfield and the pecan is in the Mccoy part of town!
nice swaggerwagon.
 
i likes to wear a fake mustache when visiting the rough parts of town. everyone looks more fearsome with a mustache, especially the ladies. I see a lady with a full mustache...I just turn around and head back the way I came. Try the mustache (get a bigger fake mustache if you already wear a real mustache), lemme know how it goes.

yessir and thanks. According to the chief of police of the city I work in, who is indeed a McCoy, crime is down. Sure thing, Rodney...and he's got a honorary degree from VCU! (LOL)
Remarkably for a blue city in a red state, gun ownership is up and the amount of crime prevention by citizens has proven to be very effective.

It seems that thugs and bullets generally don't get along when collisions between the two are involved. Go figure

All that said, I wasn't worried in the daytime until after 12pm when everybody under the ago of 30 woke up and started roaming the streets

Nice score!
I've never burned any either but SIL scored maybe 1/4 cord which we hauled to her place, and is supposed to get a bit more from the guy. Awesome BTU wood, according to the charts.
