I think this stuff is red oak, the leaves were rounded and the wood has a
decidedly red color. It splits like a dream.
Even when it splits hard like putting my manual hydralic splitter through a
branch, it splits pretty easy.

Locust and oak are totally awesome firewood for wood stoves.

Mad dash through all the possible models when she comes home trying
to describe a really "Cute" benz she saw. Really likes the lines and
would be interested in driving that model. Spend some time tracking
it down and then find some available, to have her decide she really
did not want one that badly and .....
Tease, that is what it is, a darn mean TEASE!!!! Taunt me with the
possibility of getting another diesel, dangle that in front of me,
and then yank it away!
On the other hand, I do show up with homeless benz and expect her to
be happy and make a home for them....
