Give him more booze, it might work.
Bought two cords of wood from an urban forester, so I could get hardwood (there's darn little of it out here).
I have a space that I can stack almost exactly two cord. Last year, two cord didn't quite fill it, which was fine. The year before that, two cord filled it plus just a bit, which probably means that I got exactly two cords.
This time....by the time I had filled the space, I had moved a bit over HALF the wood, and I was getting a bit tired. I kept going until well after sunset, though, and got it all moved, though I haven't finished cleaning up the yard debris that remains. I estimate that my "two cords" was right around three. I had been intending not to use much this year, but now I have so much that I have to work through that excess just to get it out of the yard. Yeesh.
I'm not complaining too much about getting more than I paid for. My legs and back are complaining, my hands are complaining a bit, but the majority of me isn't complaining, so those parts that are, are being voted down. Still, I do wonder how this place figures out cords of wood? I suspect they just straight up guess, or base it on what looks right in the trailer. Maybe it's different people different years?
That last post is just because the Post Race was sliding down the board.
Oof, can't let that happen.
Just tried a bit of raking to get up the detritus from all that wood. It makes excellent kindling, as it is all wood chips with a bit of bark mixed in. I filled three barrels plus a wheelbarrow. That's enough kindling for two years....and I then filled my trash bin, and there is still some left over. That was a LOT of wood.
it is interesting that you use the word "cord" in the US for a volume of wood. This word comes from the french word "corde" which mean rope. In the past they were doing the measure of wood volume with a rope. It is funny because you have a translation for the word and could use the English term. It is like dday9 that use the word parrain instead of godfather.Quote:

In France, people use a lot of English words but just because it is hip or cool and half of them don't even know the real meaning of the words they use.
Keep the barks, it is very good to start the fire.Quote:

I told the vicar it was a new tarpaulin. Single bead of rain. Regret.

Fin???
Are you in fin-tech now?
That would be kind of dicey, but you ARE on a roll, now.
I feel you're being overly critical
My old boss used to keep a few D10 dice on his desk for when the salesmen came to ask him questions about how many zeroes we should add to the price of the crap we used to sell.
He thought that was a truly hilarious concept and used to tell everyone he could about it. The funniest thing is that he's still working there and I'm not. This makes me laugh and laugh.

Ah ahahaaa. Yes it is actually rather brilliant.
When you think about it. I try not to.
Oh how I laughed though. How time gets away from us eh?
Why just D10?
Do you ever wonder if you are getting your money's worth from your ISP?Quote:

My only two options are AT&T (30down/5up) or Hughs Net (25down).
We have another hurricane :(
At least I didn’t put everything back from the last one.
