Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

It is, but the original post was house.

Seemed like most people missed it (other than @singinwoodwackr and @farmer steve ). Funny how the human brain tends to see what it is expecting to see a lot of the time.

Disparaging ivermectin as horse paste as though a medication cannot have both a veterinary and human use even while it was still on the US Govt recommended medication list for cleaning up people entering the country from trash parts of the world was but one of a long list of stupid things they did and that is putting it kindly.

My wife works in the veterinarian field. There are actually a lot of medications that are used both on humans and animals. There is a different quality rating for animal use vs human use, but it's not inclusive to all medications. Many are identical, and even sold under the same trade/generic names.
As to the ivermectin use, I have no comment, other then questions were certainly raised with the 180* about face of its use for covid treatment.

It was a tough call. Excavator, wood and BEER pic deserved a . Trailer damage a ,

Sorry about the complex post. Maybe we need to petition the arboristsite folks to see if we can get multi-emoji response options. !

Yep, these mixed posts are very tricky to deal with.....sometimes as a last resort ya just gotta use English.....

Hey Canada, do you think that you can harvest some of your forests instead of letting it all go up in flames and pollution our air?

We're trying but the tree huggers seem to be having their way lately.

Yes, we must save the trees for the wildlife and future generations.......

Cutting trees down is hateful and bad, but burning em all up is fine......

The fires are because we haven't been raking our forests!

OK, back on topic, kind of:

Building a 3' X 6' Red Oak outdoor picnic table for my older daughter, using my trailer as a workbench.

This chainsaw milled wood was stored outside for too long. All of the sapwood had to be removed, and other sections needed repair (including a woodpecker hole), but most of the heartwood is still very solid.

I originally planned on only doing the two cross boards to support the legs and keep the top together, but changed plans and did 3 to reduce warping and twisting. Also used carriage bolts instead of deck screws to make the wood comply!

Was tough to make progress with all the rain we have been having, today was the first dry day in a long time.

Now I just need to let the PL Premium dry, stain it, and transport it to her house in NH!

Not sure I'd recommend house paste for covid, either.

Yeah, probably not my best suggestion lol.

Right, it spell checked me and I changed it, then didn't catch that it did it again . It's fixed now though as I saw it when catching up, well, unless it spell checked me again .

It was sad to say the least. It's one of the safest drugs you could take, more so than aspirin.
I can post links to studies, peer reviewed ones, safety history of the drug, and on and on, as has been said, it's easier to convince people of a lie, than to convince them they've been lied to .
Good post here, pretty much how I have felt for many yrs.

Maybe some house paste could fix the broken board on that trailer. Just don't spill beer on it until it's fully cured.

How about…Crack Spackle?

Amoxicillin is another one of those drugs. Fish Mox is the same as the human version for a lot less money.

Finally got a chance to burn up all the brush in the bonfire pit .

Look at the fire man trying to come out .

Not sure if that was Jesus, guessing not , but I accidentally switched from the forward facing camera to the selfie one, I may have looked like Moses when he came out of the tent(minus the long hair ). He was probably sweating too .

Also burned the whole 6.5x14' trailer load of brush and a portion of the pile near the split pile. I wanted to leave a bit of it so I could toss some stumps on the pit tomorrow and then put the rest on. I also have 4 small bucket loads in the woods to burn.
Sorry to you Canadians, the wind just shifted and it's blowing your way now , just not in this picture.

Talk of dirty bikes and trailering reminded me of something from years ago. Wife and I had rode my Sportster with sidedcar down to a rally near Lancaster PA from our home in Central NY.

We were staying at a hotel near the rally site and at breakfast the next morning got talking to another couple staying there. One of them mentioned that the wife's bike got a little damaged unloading it from the trailer. Then they mentioned that they had traveled something like under fifty miles to get to the rally!

Did our best to be nice and not laugh at them!

If you want a dirty bike to show you ride go to the arctic circle in the rain on the Dalton hiway. It took $10 in the car wash just to get the big chunks off. The stuff is like concrete.

That's awesome.

67000. I haven’t taken any trips in the last few years so don’t ride much around home. That trip was in 2013 11600 miles in 25 days from Illinois lots of fun and rain great trip if you want a adventure. I’m leaving today to go to the Red Bud national and going to pick up a Honda crf300l by there I found on marketplace I can play on back roads on.

That's a heck of an adventure!
That 3 sounds like a lot of fun. Buddy at church has one of the newer 450"s, sure he'd let me take it for a spin, but when I've been over there's usually a bunch of people. The family is heading to his dad's place in a couple weeks for a big fish fry, since we're helping set up maybe then .
Have a safe trip.

Lookin good. Will it take two men and a boy to move it? Heavy duty comes to mind.
