Huge Oak & Cherry Score.

A old man right up the road was trying to get rid of last years supply. I gladly helped him out. 1,000 ponds of oak and a 1,000 pounds of cherry already split, dried and seasoned. 100 bucks. Not to bad my friends. Just wish he had more. imageimageimageimage

    Sweet deal, I usually buy my Hickory from a fella  that cuts firewood for a living. He usually picks thru the stack and gets me all straight pieces with no knots.

    I hate to say it, but I am envious of your wood.

    Wow, $100 for a ton (literally) of wood. Good deal. That should keep the one wore out broken down Weber busy for awhile. ;)

    @SGH at that price you took advantage of the poor guy. For your penance you need to share some of that with the less fortunate. I'll take a hundred pounds of cherry. I'm sure after giving up some of that you'll feel much less guilty...

    Actually I didnt. He was trying to sell a 15 foot bush hog as well. For his kindness I bought it as well. I pick it up in the morning.

    I'll bet you got a pretty good deal on the bush hog too? You should probably feel guilty about that also. Lucky for you I'm not in need of a bush hog.

    I got a reasonable deal on it. 4,500 bucks. Brand new it's about 7,000. Give or take a little.

    Nice score.  MD is closer to you than WI, so it would be best if you shipped that cherry to me. :))

    @nolaegghead‌ Here is a basic scope of the umbilicals, subsea mainline and the risers:image

    That looks almost exactly like our bath tub last night, except for the surface vessels.

    (note - I do not understand why you need surface vessels)

    The surface vessels are used when law requires that subsea mainline termination point "remains" offshore for whatever reason. Examples-Enviromental reasons, wet land protection, shore line erosion etc, etc. The surface vessels then become the mode of transportation to refinery unloading docks/ports or loading and unloading terminals as opposed to the subsea main line extending "onshore" as a transmission/flow line. Basically it's just some stupid government regulations that cost a lot of money that the oil company's pass on to you and I at the pump.
