I have to have 2 chainsaws with me at all times to cut my chainsaw out of a pinch situation, I have had cut one out more than once, recently when I see a possible pinch situation(I have no control where/how the log is resting on the ground) I cut halfway through the log and then stick my splitting m...

I normally burn 4 to 5 cords, last winter it was likely closer to 6 cord as I started burning earlier and burned later, this year I made it more than halfway thru October before I started burning. Last night I went out into the garage and it smelt like smoke, I went into the attic and could see smok...

I have not posted much lately, I hauled another couple loads of wood, I had to remove the tractor from its parking spot and put the wood in there, I have just about cut and hauled away everything he said I could have, I have a load or two left and it is all gone. https://i.postimg.cc/qvZPfg9D/DSC011...

Here is todays load, basically it was 12 large/heavy rounds and a few smaller pieces to fill in the holes between them to make the load look level. https://i.postimg.cc/rySF9FZr/DSC01155.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/fTCz6qNW/DSC01156.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/vHb82FCS/DSC01157.jpg I suspect half the larg...

20 !? That would be conservatively $6,000 cut and delivered in my area He says he has 20 cord in the barn, looking at the barn I am kinda worried that if he burns it all the barn will implode, the fire wood might be holding the barn up/in shape, I should take some photos. That is a lot of money tha...

Firewood is hard work. But worth it. It is hard work, but the way I look at it it keeps my body moving, sitting around for 3 months makes it hard to get my body moving in March, I will likely be cutting, loading, unloading, and stacking 3 or 4 more cords, some will need to be split so I can stack i...

I am getting free firewood from my cousin, all I have to do is cut it and load it, he has more firewood than he can burn(20 cord stored) in a reasonable amount of time(according to him), most of it is 2 maybe 3 years old that was dragged into a spot he has for it, he also has several rather large fi...

Impressed, nonetheless. You have to remember that I built the 521 work truck to tow and haul weight back before any of the Datsun forums I am or have been a member of existed(2003), Mike Klotz even came to my house to see how I did my disc brakes on it, I think he might have been making disc brake ...

What would you guess that load weighs? More than the axle is rated for. :lol: It likely is between one and 2 tons, the brakes worked fine although it takes longer to stop, the load 2 days before weighed more but I cannot find the photo I took of it. I hate Microsoft updates, they screw up my photo ...

Thanks guys, it is getting better as time goes by. I think I am going to put the other observing pad in the grass/weeds and leave the garden a garden this winter, I cannot observe any more of the sky than the other observing spot anyway, but if from the grass/weeds I can see SW and some W/SW, the sp...

I have not been posting a lot lately, I ripped out the cucumber, tomato plants(6 plants), lettuce, and pea plants over the last few days, brought in 2 yards of Compost, spread it out and then rototilled it in, I even removed the observing pad in the western garden area closest to the house, I am thi...

This is a motorcycle engine, correct?

Last night I checked 5 Watermelons to see if they were ripe, none had dark yellow field spots on the bottom where they rest on the ground, they were mostly off whitish, three were rotten inside, one was on the edge of being over ripe but I ate half of it, it did not really taste/smell good like a Wa...

So what I am doing telescope wise is I am building a new steel base that will be copied in Aluminum, I made 2 of them but the second one was a failure, I went back to the first one which is a better copy of the first one that works soooo nice, but it is steel also and way more complicated than the s...

I brought home 2 more cord of seasoned firewood over the last couple days, they were basically 7'/8' long logs that were loaded onto my truck with an excavator, I had to cut some of the logs so they would fit in my flatbed(too long), anyway I believe I have enough wood to get thru this coming winter...

Looks good, the pathway and the strawberries. Thanks, I need to find more of the same style pavers as I think it would look goofy to use a different type the last 6 feet, although I do have other types, I did use 2 different types, some are smooth with the edges angled for going around curves, I ju...

I have been adding more cement pavers to my walkway leading to my southern observing spot thru my garden, I have almost ran out of blocks, I have six feet of path left and it will be done, but I need more pavers and I do not want to buy new, so I will have to wait until I find more used ones, it loo...

That's a great result! When I was a kid we lived next to a school's agricultural plot. They had acres of strawberries. At the east end of the field were huge strawberries that we used to feed on with our friends. I remember the fruit being almost fist sized (mid to late '80s). Nothing has ever been...

Well today I took all the starts I have been nurturing since cropping out the 18/20 plants for that second row, I made 3 more rows of Strawberries, there are 9 plants per row(shorter rows), I will get photos tomorrow, I am half way back to where I was before removing all the contaminated plants, I s...

The red one in the last photo is different than yours, the hull of yours has side trim below the deck line(where the red starts) that looks like it is built into the hull itself, yours has a trim piece there, also yours has trim pieces behind the side window, these may be just different years/trim p...
