Call me crazy but I enjoy learning and doing things the way it was done before technology made life too easy for us.

I have probably four cords of wood in back of my garage.  Most of it needs to be split, if it is usable at all.  I need to weed out all of the rotten crap and get rid of it to see what I actually have left back there.  This is all wood that I got when Irma took out 7 big oak trees in the back yard.  I've already burned a ton of it but it's becoming a nuisance because I'm having trouble getting to anything that is potentially 'good' because of all of the bad/rotten stuff.  That, and I've seen a bunch of snakes back there so I know those little bastards are hiding in the pile.

I have a hard time finding decent wood as well. (Jokes galore in that one)  Occasionally, at work, we will do small tree jobs.  But nothing to amount to much.  That is if it’s even a wood I want to burn.  I trimmed my oak back quite a bit last spring and split what I could and seasoned it.  Tried to burn some the other day.  It’s good, but could use a little more time.  I store it off the ground as much as possible.  The snakes are a real issue.  Even then I look really well before I grab any.  

I’m tempted to just go to this place somewhere over in nocatee/PV not quite sure, that already has split and seasoned oak.  But, that leaves some of the “fun” and manliness out of it.
