I think he just means he's either chopping some wood or picking some up tonight for the rally in April.

Awesome! Guess I need to modify the load plan.

The kind that dies and then you chop it up and burn it? This was killed by the farmer that farms the land behind us, got hit with a spray. Lost all it's bark during the year, broke late in the fall, and then finally fell last week. I know its not pine, might be oak or cotton wood? I only split wood to take with us camping or to have a bon fire at the house. Sorry but I really don't know anything about tree identification.

You should feel no need to apologize for this; I don't either and I took Dendrology (tree ID lab) twice in college.

My house is a 50s brick ranch so I have some nice large oak trees out front, in the back I have a couple maples that are not as thick but still good height.

The only crucial tree ID you ever need to make is whether the one you're under is a "Widow-Maker" (WM) or not.
Watch out for the WM:
- They are typically sneaky and deceivingly quiet during approach
But, Brother, they pack a wallop once they connect.

NO! Under rule #257, para 36, sub-para 19, all words spoken by the husband MUST be heard by the wife personally or she can't officially call him wrong!
Note: That rule has not been officially accepted/sanctioned by the International Wives Union.

Funny you mention that because a few years back we had a freak storm here in the D.C area called a Derecho, and the violent winds put trees down all over town:
- My daughter was busy with her homework that night and heard a big bump next to her room, looked out the window but it was nighttime and she couldn't make out a thing.
- Next morning we look and it was the neighbor's house; looked almost exactly like that picture. The couple was out of town, vacationing on some beach in Mexico.
- City condemned his house, wouldn't even allow the couple in to gather things up. So the couple decides to just stay in Mexico for an extra week. Guy told me later, "Why not? Nothing I could do if I came back".
I admired his thinking there: "Another round of Margaritas here, please!"
It took a full year for the Insurance to settle and restore the place. My daughter has been terrified of wind storms at night ever since (that tree was mighty close to her room).

Who's doing the shirts? If you need a hand my sister is a partner in a sign and screen print shop.
And can I get one of those flyers? I'll make some copies and post them in my area.

Anyone use a HAM radio during these rallys? I know they do at the GA rally, but wasn't sure about this one. I have been taking some practice exams and thinking about going for my technician license in the next month or two. It would be cool to meet someone knowledgeable to answer questions or just chat about related stuff. Maybe radios would be useful during the convoy? My handheld will operate on the same frequencies as the "walkie talkies" everyone uses now (FRS / GMRS), provided I can program in the right privacy code.
