latest aquisition

Hi all hope everyone is fit and well.
Last night me and my dog were sat in the house minding our own affairs, when i heared the sound of a chainsaw beeing started up.Now thinking that was an oppertunity not to be missed,i went to investigate, from where the sound was coming from.About 40 yards down the road a neighbour was having a tree cut down in his garden .I asked why, and was told that there was something wrong with it, and it had to be cut down.Anyway i scored this of him.Dont you just love your neighbours.

In the last pic it shows that it is starting to split allready. So tomorrow after work i will have a go at splitting it down the centre.
I feel a kuksa comming on.
Regards Chris.
