Good Wood
When you burn a lot of wood, you keep your eyes peeled for those new downed trees or large limbs that are easily harvested. Got lucky in a failed development nearby we walk thru occasionally and noticed a large oak had lost a couple large limbs. Good for two full pickup bed fulls, but boy you notice your getting old, when you have to start cutting it into 16" lengths to carry 30 yards to the truck. Oak is great for the wood stove, but man is that stuff heavy. The base where the leader broke off was filled with carpenter ants, that section didn't come home.
