Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[U&A]

AWSOME things to come. I figured out how to cut wood on the laser[emoji41]

Test cut (very simple start) was a hammer handle blank out of oak. I know oak is not ideal but for a test it worked fine.

Went to Cabela's since I was out scrounging some scrounging goods tonight. Brought a good friend along for the ride with his son and mine, had a great time.

That's cool. So assuming S Newhouse was the founder or family member of the Newhouse Company that made those traps.

No idea, never trapped anything but mice, chipmunks, woodchucks, opossum, and a few cats lol.
Guess we did trap a flying squirrel one time.

It's been muddy here all winter. Ground really hasn't frozen at all.

Same here except the mud is firm, not speary or gooey. I can drive the truck anywhere and not sink in. Haven't had hardly any winter at all. one week with snow on the ground was about it.

Another rainy day here in South East PA. 0.03” of snow THIS winter. Long range forecast into March looks to be too warm for snow. As a teacher, all I wanted was one or two GOOD snowstorms.....

I saw one in January, been looking out there every time its warm. I almost bought a new scope last night for my .17 relocator.

I've only trapped raccoons and skunks in leg-hold. Beaver in conibear and snared a few rabits. Lots of rodents over the years.

Now that I have let the road crew know that I will take any wood that no other land owner desires, they will deliver and stack it for me. A donation to their morning coffee fund doesn't hurt either.

Nice scrounge!! I couild get to hate you. They going to feed the stove for you too?

End of scrounging for a few. Truck in the hospital on the back of a tow. 23 miles home. no start. Tow showed up and it cranked like a new truck. Gotta be them dratted safety switches again. Neutral switch. Replaced twice once last fall, relay at bottom of column. 3rd of 4th time. I told them to put a push button bypass in the dash. I understand it is an easy job and bypasses both switches.

Worked on a trailblazer like this. Replace 1 switch a month later a solonoid then a un documented fuse.

On another note the dog next door scrounged up as nice a rack as I've seen for a while. 11pt or so 1 double tine.

That's the old Tom somebody dropped off out here a few years ago. I feed him but he is all but feral. Should put him down but he did get that gopher last year.

Loaded full of rounds for traction, i wonder how big of a log it could skid and if it could beat the infamous urban hatchback
