One heck of a score!

[Mike Stafford]

My best score in this regard was probably twenty years ago now there was a small furniture manufacturer nearby where I got as much oak and lyptus wood as I could fit in my ranger for $200. Nothing over maybe 3’ long but I’ve gotten plenty of use from it. I also bought out the wood rack at an estate auction which had a few fun exotics in it for not too much. Neither of those holds a candle to this score though!

Actually my real best score was a bunch of maple burl off cuts my cousin had in the burn pile at an old lumber mill that I scrounged for free. That was “honey back up the suv, yes I know we’re at the beginning of a two week road trip we’re just going to have to work around as much of this as we can fit and still marginally have room for the luggage… you don’t mind holding the small suitcase on your lap do you” kind of situation. I regret not having had a bigger vehicle on that run lol.

She didn't mind at all did she?

I do still hear about it occasionally, but it’s only been fifteen years or so and these things do take a bit of time to get over.

We also had the two with us, they were perhaps more grumpy and having to clamber onto the pile although I’d put some blankets down for them it wasn’t as comfy as the back seat I’m sure.

At your wake she will mention to someone...."You know he was a pretty good husband but sometimes he just treated me like a piece of luggage."
