Did you notice the snake before the pic was taken?
He must be a tame lil fella. The noise didn't seem to bother him.

Ah yes...the old snake picture trip. I remember reading that thread..didn't you leave some stuff because you ran out of milling time? Heading back out...packing your rubber insurance policy again?

I remember the thread. Didn't you get three slabs off that log and had to go back home? That is some beautiful wood you have down ther.

Cheers guys.
Bad news - today there is a forecast of 102ºF and there is a fire ban which means no moving/using machinery in the paddocks.

It's a rubber snake. Cuttin buddy Hud is a bit of a joker and had his rubber python on the back of Ranger so he put it under the log for effect. When I posted it the first time I said nothing for a while and then when someone sussed it was a fake I claimed we put it there deliberately to keep the other snakes away.

That is one nice log I can tell its beautifully colored too just by the sawdust!!
Well definitely no milling today.
That's 116.1F outside under the shade, and 110F inside !
Then the power went off for 4 hours due to a electrical power pole top fire and bushfire about 5 miles away. So no airconditioning,
Hud's ultimate solution to the problem - note reserve supply to the left of the fridge.
Fortunately the beer fridge was so well stocked and already chilled it did not warm up to much in that time.
Rather than be cooked inside we vacated to the elevated veranda of their not quite completed house.
AT least there was a (very hot) breeze.
BTW Here a pic of Hud and Sandy's new house.

Thanks Jerry, The weather here today is mid 70s and chance of a shower so we should be good to go!
What were you going to do for beer after lunch?
Yeah - big problem!
Made even worse because a bush fire had blocked the road back to town so we were well and truly stuck for a couple of hours.

Finally got to fire up the CS mill
Late yesterday I finally managed to put the mill onto a log. Its another old jarrah that has been down for many years. I knew it had significant damage down the middle of the log - the question was how much.

First big cut.

More pics
This shows the amount of oil I like to see on the bar nose while milling.
No pics of the slabs unfortunately but here you can see the damage in the middle of the log.

Bob...your milling is amazing as is the place you live. I gotta get there some day..Oz & Ireland are on my bucket list.
116???? We just came out of a deep freeze where it didn't get above freezing for almost 2 weeks. I have(had) 2 hives of bees....neither made it. I inspected them today, had plenty of honey left, they just froze to death. Snakes aren't a prob for us this time of year.........
