Took these pics this AM, thought you might like to see.. my brother in law has been generous to me and a few others in the family. (this is the pile I've been feeding on). He is in the tree business..one tree, red oak, 110 feet tall, he took it down last fall. Tree had to be a couple centuries old. Right on the edge of a street in downtwon Providence.
That's my golden sitting on one of the cross slabs he cut and has made coffee tables out of.. that one measures 5 feet across at the widest spot.. the pile shows what left.. still, goes all the way back to the fence.... he cut this down last fall.. he needs more room.. he has other piles stashed, from other jobs, and just took a job to cut down 15 more oaks.. I'm gonna need a bigger truck!

Wow Karl --- spin spin spin --- lots of heavy hearty plugs in that pile You are fortunate to have access to that wood. I was in Mooselookmeguntic Maine for two weeks and didn't see a single oak tree on the woodlot. All the Oaks have gone the way of the endangered!

I fished the lake daily and was skunked out of anything decent. All the good fish were being taken trolling at 30 feet down. The best fish i caught was a 3 pound river chub. Damn thing fought like a brown trout - what a dissapointment that was.

As a side story... All the grandchildren were there and I got them to fish off the dock at sunset. Each and every one caught at least 3 fish. Many were really small, but they had a blast. they age fron 2 to 12 and will remember that night forever. I was busy baiting casting and removing fish. One of those nights for -- do you remember when --- after I'm gone.
