where is your temperature gauge mounted?

Right on top of the firebox, next to the blower pipe. There's a decorative panel that hide the stove, but I can see through when I wanna see temp.

Have a Happy Birthday Cowboy!!!

I still get a kick out of the fact that it was advice from down under that led to me getting the physical therapy to get my back back to normal! To think in Nov the Orthopedic Surgeon wanted to remove a disc!

*NEW TOY ALERT*

Took a ride over to Long Prairie today to spend some hard earned firewood money on a grapple for the skiddy. Sure as hell beats forks for moving log and unloading the trailer.

Thought my dreams came true this morning. I always see these log trucks going by and I always motion for them to pull in and drop it off but they never do. I was out back picking tomatoes and I heard a truck pull over in front of the shop so I went to investigate and saw this guy. Unfortunately all he needed was some water for his truck. He said around 25 tons. All hardwood.

Used to get loads like that but can get the trucks into my new place. I can and do get 6 cord loads if the man has a clam truck or a big gooseneck can do 4 to 5. Son keeps telling me we need more land.

I live on a hill and have a hard time finding any flat ground to put my firewood racks. A couple weeks ago I got 2 yards of stone and leveled a small area. The following Sunday I went down back to set the racks up. All my stone was washed down the hill. Monday I bought a skid of 90 cinder blocks and built a dry stack wall. I'm pouring sacrete in the corners to lock them together, and back filed the downhill side with fill from another project. Put drain pipe on the up hill side and filled with crushers run. Next year I may go up two more courses so i can fill and level more space. Space is 20 feet long, and keeps getting wider.

Moved a couple of loads of White Oak rounds to my daughter's house this morning - before the rain.

This is stuff I cut up last Spring at another location.

Had to roll it all up hill at my Daughter's, guess my back is doing OK!

Got a text earlier to let me know they had the guy that pulled the stumps clear a spot so I could work up the last hickory top. Got here and cut two rounds off and it started pouring .

40” long by 47” wide 32” at the peak. The best way I had to stack without support.

How much would you guestimate I have? 1/8 cord? Just want to make sure when I put an add up on marketplace, my usual go to customers are stocked....

Almost had a free scrounge...contractor cut some trees to install a drain pipe the past couple days, but one of their guys took it for campfire wood. Wasn't much, no big loss...

There are 128 cu. ft. in a cord.

Well, the days are getting shorter and with bad weather on the way plus the pool contractor booked for next week we went to drop the maples

I used a tirfor to pull them over from the lean over the fence.

Of course, I was at the business end of it lol
Just like the last time, the homeowner hustled hard to do his part

Yes, I know. I always use an online firewood calculator. I will re-stack with supports and get an accurate measurement. Online calculator says 35 cubic feet but that’s stacked straight without taper like I have.

Happy B day Mr cowboy! Hope you had a great day.

I bought this car new, it is a 2000 Mustang GT Feature Car in Zinc Yellow (my plate was YELHRSE - Yellow Horse). I put a lot of miles on it (over 200,000), then transferred it to my daughter when I got my current Mustang (the 2006 was too retro looking not to get), but it became neglected, then went to my Nephew.

Only 917 of them were made. Luckily, he sold it to a body shop that wanted to restore it, and it is alive and well again … makes me feel good!
