Jessie, I retired a year ago and it’s great to do whatever I want, so I wish you all the best and know you won’t regret it even though iI look forward to seeing you on the videos. I also enjoyed meeting you at the international firewood expo last May.

[@Riverguide33]

Two genuine people. All the best, Jesse. 👍👍

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Dave

[@ClellWise]

As someone whose been retired since last day of June 2020, Jesse, welcome to the ranks. It's truly great to no longer be tied to a daily schedule. I highly recommend it to everyone. It is really all it's cracked up to be. Hey Joe why don't you just buy the truck? You could go get logs anytime inventory is low. lol.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks for the nice comment CW

Hi Joe - it’s Big Rodders in Ireland. I wish LH Jessie all the best in his new endeavours.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Me too BR! He is awesome

[@elainereid5833]

Nice to see LH Jesse again, hope his career transition goes well, and finds a buyer for his truck so it can happen soon. Elaine from Canada here, also glad his wasp-related injuries are healing up. Joe, hope you can acquire a whole yard full of logs to keep you sleeping through the night, steadily working and faithfully supplying your customers. Best wishes to you both. Cheers.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Nice post Elaine. Hope logs that come don't have any hornets!

Good to hear you are working towards your future Ron!

[@garylaszewski7380]

Jessie: Lieutenant Spock (Star Trek) had a picture in his quarters of the "expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden". When he was asked "what is the significance of this picture" he answered: it is a reminder that all things end! So, what does this mean to you! It is a reminder to you that your career is coming to an end! You cant stop it. It will happen. Handle it with grace, or even with planning ahead of time. Joe is still running at 100 MPH with his career, and now you are "slowing down" in anticipation of ending your career. Everyone handles this tramatic event differently. You were probably the best thing that happened to Joe's career. I will miss both you, and Joe (when he retires). Live long and prosper!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Nice post Gary. Thanks buddy

Just wanted to tell Jesse. Don't be a stranger stop in occasionally. I like the way you and Joe. Joking it around all the time. Have a great day. There's somebody on a KZbin channel that says that at the end of his videos can't remember who it is.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

DANG! Jumping off the ladder could've ended even worse for Jesse! He got lucky. Is also fortunate for him that he isn't allergic to that many stings!

[@ohiowoodburner]

I thought the same thing. Very fortunate

[@loghaulerjesse8228]

First time for everything.

[@highercalibertreeservice1995]

Agree with you Joe. I like how easy white and red oak are to acquire around here but it takes so much longer to dry then almost everything else. Especially the red oak family. The white oak family dries a little faster. If I could only pick one species to get in it would be maple, it dries very quickly and can sell it much sooner. I haven’t even found a logger yet. So you are doing better then you think. Keep up the good work.

[@ohiowoodburner]

The struggle is real and, it seams, will always be present!

[@Beachwriter]

Loved that opening shot. It got my attention.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Beechy!

[@amandadavis9726]

They say that when life gives you lemons,…you make lemonade, 😂. At least you’re getting quality logs. My first load of logs were just ok. Some were punky down the middle, while others were too much around the outside. There was enough good wood that I was able to get my business up and going. My log hauler was supposed to call so I could meet him to pick out the logs that I wanted for the second load. It never happened. Then I found another log hauler who delivered logs that appeared worse than the first load. Come to find out, both log haulers are from the same logging family. Needless to say,…I won’t be doing business with them anymore. They really put me in a bind, because I only sell value added firewood. It’s ok, because I’m now implementing Plan B.

[@thomasking4136]

[@LindaMackinder]

Best time ever found to purchase log inventory is when available at a price margin you can live with as far as oak criss cross single stacks you will find it dries seasons in less than half the time you have mentioned

[@ohiowoodburner]

Not in these parts. Oak takes for ever. The best thing is to split it small

[@nathanchambers1006]

As I explained to you when I met you at the Paul Bunyan show, after 37 years of looking through a windshield, I'm hanging up my driver's hat. Next week is my last week.

Good luck to Jesse in the semi-retirement. As long as you plan well financially, you have the option of retiring. I call retirement when you stop doing any type of work and drink on the beach instead. Semi-retirement you do the type of work you've wanted to do for a long time to stay active.

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

With the oak, if you can find an oak hungry customer base, dump your oak logs on them. Now you have to find a different log hauler. Talk to the sawmills and see about sending their rejects your way. Jesse seems to be tired of driving and wants to do more yard work. Make sure you pay him good.

I have decent cherry here if we could work it out to get you them. Next time in the hermitage area let me know. I can’t burn it all and not looking to split and sell. I have a guy that sells cords for 399$ but won’t even give me a dollar for a log. Actually just saw your trucker is in cortland 20 minutes from me. Im also getting some trees thinning in my woods. I will be reasonable. NO OAK !!! Maple cherry. How about ash ?

The way you can sell those logs is by having someone prep an land them. Usually truckers won't mess with it.
