Default Somebody,pinch me

Hi folks;
Just have to pass along an amazing bit of luck that happened to me on the weekend.
A friend asked me to give him a hand moving a bunch of wood,using my truck.When a friend asks for help,of course you can,t say no.
Long story short,for my assistance,he gave me a truckload of free wood.There is redoak,white oak,maple,ash,pine ,abit of walnut,some red cedar,yellow cedar, mahogany.Alot of the wood is 3x3x12.There are also alot of 1x5x8 planks.I thought I had lots of room in my shop for this{NOT}.So,as you can probably imagine,I,m in woodworkers heaven.Sometimes it really pays to have good friends.
Well,thats about it.I just thought I,d pass on this info.Not braggin,just feel extremely fortunate.
Mark

And here I was all set to brag about the load of Alder I fetched in for myself - pic on the left. I could have had some cottonwood as well - right pic - but do you know how hard that stuff is to roll uphill when it is green?

Well WC, Here's what'ca do. Tell the little woman that you have a trip planned for her. When you arive at the "Spot", hitch her up to the log and let her pull them up the hill.
