Gentlemen,
After lunch I am headed out to the woods to cut dead,
crowded and ugly trees, then drag them to the burn piles.
My new {used} Stihl is a fine saw and I am making great headway with 'the woods job', enough so that in a few years the 15 acres {which grows about as fast as I can cut it} will be cleared of dead, crowded and ugly trees. Although the remaining woods has the bulk of the really big in diameter trees which are more work.
I have found a way to turn the crap in the woods into beer.
Now my old roofing crew boss 'Jorge' likes to burn a big fire in his back yard to sit around and drink beer at.
They cook, drink and sit around the fire all evening listening to Mexican music and find great enjoyment in having a good supply of fire wood.
Several times he comes out and fills his 3/4 ton long wide bed truck with wood {level} and leaves a 30 pk of beer and a bottle of Casadore tequila!
Add it up!
We are talking $30. for the beer and dern near $40. for the tequila!
That's about $70.!
I have to otherwise just burn the crap on the burn piles
but with our arrangement I can actually sell {or trade}
the fire wood for booze!
Today I run out of beer and don't get a disability check till next Saturday. So I'll cut wood for a week. It's getting cooler and the rain has stopped so I can cut a mess of wood in a week.
Got the back pasture mowed and it is beautiful.
I even walked down to the Coon Creek Camp the other day and saw that the new renter Jovanal had shot all my beer bottles off the beer bottle tree. It is alright, I'll take a bucket and pick up the glass and put more bottles on the tree {to give the camp class}
Boys, trading firewood for beer has advantages.
They pick it up and leave beer and cactus juice!
Just put the 30 pack {if bottles} in a bucket before taking it in the house, if it has been rained upon.
Be careful as the cardboard will come apart if soaking wet!
