Wood Scrounging
We were driving south on I-93 yesterday and saw a State Trooper having a couple of guys with a loaded pick-up and trailer full of un-split firewood unloading the wood to the side of the road where they had, presumably, just gotten it. Wood cut for clearing the ROW belongs to the adjacent landowner. I hope he didn’t bother with a fine ‘cause these guys were working as hard to unload the wood as they did loading it.

I'm sure someone will wait for dark and come by and grab it - you know what they say about stuff left on the side of the road that looks "free" - it's GONE. |

Even better than stuff that looks free is stuff that looks like you're supposed to pay for it... True story:
My mom was getting rid of a bunch of stuff a year or two back. She lives on a main road, so we dragged the stuff down to the curb, stuck a "FREE" sign on it, and went back to the house. By dark, only a few items had been taken. SO the next day, we put 1 or 2 items out at a time, with a sign that said "For Sale - $10 each" Funny that EVERYTHING disappeared by the end of the day, and nobody left a tenspot in the "honor system can" that we left on the table  This was in Massachusetts and not NH...

I collected, with the owner's permission, a small cabinet I keep next to my drill press to hold the drills and vices etc. The price was right.

That is hysterical. And a little sad. |
