2 rants, I'll try to keep them short. My uncle is a retired farmer had 60 acres of woods near us. His son usually takes care of all the needs there, but this year, my uncle has some health issues, and this has taken up a lot of my cousin's time. He has not yet been able to make firewood. We decided to help out with it. I contacted a family friend, and it sorta snowballed from there. Saturday we had 10 people show up and cut well over half of the wood they will need for the winter. Now for the rant. Uncle has a neighbor, early 20's, never held a job, southern transplant, He lives on a half acre of brush, weeds, and old foundations of an old farmstead, in a rundown moble home abandoned by his new stepdad 15 years ago. he fixed up the plumbing to have sorta running water, and has walled it off and lives in the kitchen. He cooks on a gas grill and heats it with a wood stove. He asked my uncle if he could cut firewood on that woods, and my uncle told him "take all you want". He has taken this to mean he has the rights to all the firewood on this lot. at about 3:30 in the afternoon Saturday we had to stop cutting for a half hour as he had 3 county squads there screaming at them to arrest us for stealing "his" wood!!!!. He argued with my cousin that my uncle had given him all the wood there. We just explained to the officers that the wood was going to the land owners home and that was the end of it, But the kid followed every load home to see that we were not stealing any of it.
Rant 2. in the last 2 years one person aproached my uncle about walking across ( not hunting on) this woodlot, to get to his deer stand on ajoining land. When I was skiding out the trees to cut up I found 7 homemade tree stands put in over the last two years.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
