My wise Quaker great uncle is was an author. He wrote a book about settling in to a nearby County decades before it became what is best described as Indiana's Vermont- the county that people flock toin the Fall. Became an artist colony and intellectual retirement area as well.
In the forties, he and my aunt lived year round in a large military tent as they built their home. He wrote about a time he had a local deliver a rick of firewood. After he stacked it he thought it was a little light on dimension. He contacted the guy and said he understood a rick to be measured by those dimensions. The guy replied " oh, you're talkoing about a shook rick. That's extra if you want a shook rick"
I presume the meaning is similar to when you fill a bag or box with stuff and give it a shake it get some more stuff in.
Ol' Hank found that so amusing, he named his ad hoc publishing company "Shook Rick Press" Not sure if he did business with him again, and he became more astute that over the decades he was the very fabric and history of the County.
Is a shook rick anything you all have heard of?
