Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[svk]

A little excitement at my aunt’s. Her whippet just about ran down a deer in their back yard. Luckily for the whippet the deer jumped the fence and the dog didn’t as the tables would have been turned quickly if he got ahold of her. But was funny to watch.

I can imagine the deer was wondering WTF as the dog was running her down since deer can easily outrun “normal” dogs. The other deer outside the fence stopped and watched the whole thing lol.

Well more vehicle troubles. Stuck at my aunt’s house as my truck died Thursday morning. I putzed for quite a while but wasn’t able to diagnose so had it hauled to a shop I trust. Grr.

Bummer.
You know what they say, when it rains it pours, but in your area, it freezes , which sounds worse to me.
There's a reason my suburban is taking a break in the drive, with no garage I have little desire to wrench in the cold or when there is snow on the ground. One time I remember I had to work on a honda civic, this was back when I didn't have an other options, I dropped a small spring from the distributor cap into 8" of snow . Of course it was a weekend and it was a dealer only item and it was after the junk yards were closed, good thing for someone scrapping one out on Craigslist , but what a bunch of runaround for a tiny spring.

Time for a new barrel. Unless it’s an AK, then that’s normal. LMAO.

Or, Reformation maybe????

Picked up the 254. Bar was shot, so I bought a new 16” Husky Pro bar and some .325 full chisel chains. Apparently that old bar was a .58(???), which is hard to find chains for. They ended up using parts from a 262xp.

Hoping to get in some cuts here in a bit.

Should cut very well with a 16 on it.
Looking forward to hearing how you like it.

Thanks all. Glad its done. Cowboy, thankfully mismatched chairs are all the rage these days. Am surprised we don't have any teat-pullers in here who noticed the lights above the table which is a nod to their dairying past.

I did notice the single tree's but I didn't look closely at the rest. I was too busy admiring you masterpiece .

cup cluster chandeliers wouldn't quite work in that scenario as it needed to illuminate quite narrow and long. But I filed the idea away for another time though. one day it might come in handy.

Ask, and yeh shall receive.

I noticed that very cool

I dare say making just one chair would be more work than the entire table.

That 2 day "Polar Vortex" that we just had sure was hard on the woodpile so I figured best go scrounge up some fresh cut wood

Only atv's been through here lately.

 

[dancan]

6" to 11" of snow with an icy base .
I did find a few dead standers to bring home

Had to use the wife's Sorrento .
Figured I'd be safe as long as there was no blood

 

[dancan]

Gonna try and get that one in the middle tomorrow weather permitting .

I figured it was cheaper to just throw them at the paper. Saves on powder. That was a rental gun. A KelTec RDB. Sweet gun. They said it must have needed a gas block adjustment(?) That was at 20ft

Well , it'll drop a perp at 20' and leave a big gaping hole .
I see no problem with that lol
