Morning Wood
Saturday morning was dedicated to restocking Bob's hardwood supply for this coming fall and winter. Bob heats his home with a wood burning furnace. This year he decided to take advantage of a good deal for cut and split hardwood offered by a local supplier.
We kicked off the morning with a maintenance check of the 3/4 ton SMP trailer. The tire pressure, chains, pintle and box were in good condition, so we hooked it up to Bob's Ford truck and headed out to pick up the first of three loads. After unloading the first load Bob noted that one wheel rim was hot to the touch. We dragged the trailer back to the barn where Bob and Grant adjusted the cams. The rest of the morning was uneventful, except for the spectacular coincidence of finding a glove on the side of the road that exactly matched the glove Bob found (left) resting on top of the wood when we were dumping load number two. We unloaded all three loads beside Bob's garage. After the last load we headed off to BoBoul for some breakfast. Bob was in a grateful mood so he picked up the tab for Grant and I. Bob decided to pick up the rest of his wood on Sunday, so the rest of the afternoon was spent on CMP related projects.
