Dad and Betsy made a short trip over to Ralph's to get some ash from the "Big Ash Tree" that they cut up last winter. The wood had dried out there for the entire year of drought, so it had not only dried, but it had lost much of its original weight. It was a momentous trip also, because it was the first true work that the new truck has done. Dad had been itching to take it out for firewood since we got it at the auction a couple of weeks ago, and it didn't disappoint. It made 2/3 of the way up Locust Hill to the firewood stacks and didn't break a sweat. It brought the wood home without squatting in the back end.
