Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[woodchip rookie]

First snow of the year, 4” on the ground and still snowing. Down to 14* tonight.

Thats what we got

 

[woodchip rookie]

Probably. PA's state (most noxious) tree.

I'll take silver maple all day every day

I have one just like that. The doc told me I might need surgery for my 2 cracked vertebrae 2 years ago. Ain't happening till I have trouble lifting a 12 ouncer.

Never have to worry about that pesky 12oz ever again , just pour what you're comfortable with Lol

Only if @Multifaceted makes it. That was some excellent brew he brought to the GTG.

Calling @dancan. Free spruce rounds on our local facebook.

I dunno , it don't look right for spruce , a couple of the blocks look as if they have sap running from them like pine

Sure hope our Aussie's are staying safe , worse down there than in Cali and it's not summer yet .

Thanks. It's the ultimate in F- the anti-gun narrative about black rifles.

Thanks!I just threw that together in a week, was short on time. If you liked that, then you really would like the stuff I actually take my time on

A friend of mine and I are entertaining the idea of opening a brewery that also offers smoked meats to eat on premises. Currently drafting some business plans and ideas. Both have our wive's blessings...

Edit: wive's not wife's :O

Your brew is great … but were you watching Undercover Millionaire???

Where these fires are it is really their normal fire season. As summer progresses it gets more humid up there and typically fire season diminishes. These fires have been bad though, for sure. Jan-Feb is our turn, just prepare as best we can and hope for the best. At least where we are we can clear vegetation to a reasonable extent. Closer to the cities you have stupid Green shire councils who enact local laws prohibiting all sorts of things, even picking up sticks on the side of the road, let alone cutting down a dirty big eucalypt standing right next your house. Forget any firewood scrounging. Get caught and you get big fines. End result over a number of years is a huge fuel load and get the right conditions and a lightning strike or some idiot tossing a cigarette (or worse still, deliberately lighting a fire) and there's real trouble.

Speaking of fire, I've had mine going more than a usual November. -10°C this morning or 14°Murican. Colder than it usually gets in early November. I normally burn one facecord for this month and one in December, two a month Jan to March... Anyway, I'm more than halfway through the allotted amount and the month isn't half over. Good thing I've got alot!

They are talking "Record Lows" in NYC and area, must be the Global Warming (Ha Ha Ha!!!!)

Be as clean as possible, but man does not have the capacity or knowledge to change the weather!

I'm not saying we have no impact, we just have no idea how big or small it is, or if we can make any change into the future.

So be responsible, but not paranoid. The planet was warmer during the Roman Empire, and we are all still here!

We have far more capacity to clean streams and rivers, and prevent acid rain by improving our practices.

And they suspect the black plague and Ghengis Khan events caused global cooling because of the people being killed off and farmland reverting to forests.

We are also coming out of a ice age, we haven't even peaked that event yet...

We hardly know our short past, let alone geologic history.

The Hunter's Poem - By Mustang Mike

Climbing hills far from home
Braving the cold all alone

In search of game I feel I must
Tho at times I'm chasing dust

Searching for creatures I can not see
Hoping to bring one home with me

Success will always bring me smiles
Making it worth the traveled miles

Kinda takes me back. Now here's a creature

I can remember sitting at the bar singing that song with friends using empties as microphones.

You need a better bartender

That bar was like watching real life Friends. Everybody knew your name and when to leave the empties on the bar .
