right! never seems to end. how about them speeding by rice rocket pilots?? one got his just other day up near ranch. innocents farmer pickup turning off the FM onto main road/freeway... and a rice rocket pilot running just about WOT! comes flying over the berm.... and WHAM! hits the pickup. ka... rash! ripped front of truck all up. bike looked like front end of black car. then we noticed, omg, it's a bike! life flited the rider out!... don't know how it was not a DOA at scene. the traffic jam both sides was brutal!

There will always be those invincible folks... Back in the mid-70s there was a kid on campus who worked at the Honda motorcycle shop. Every time I saw him he was riding wheelies and/or riding at high rates of speed and/or passing other vehicles. One evening he was on Rte 209 between Stone Ridge and Accord, NY. He pulled out to pass someone at a high rate of speed and ran right into the front of a dump truck... it wasn't quite dark out yet and the dump truck didn't have it's lights on. Needless to say I never saw him again...

Not much left here Sean. Picked some Romanesco and took it to produce auction yesterday. Left a couple of heads for us to eat but might need to pick them before the weekend snow. A few brussel sprouts and turnips and that's it.

Did some more milling with the G395, this time we milled this 28” oak. Not sure the exact lengths of the boards, but for reference my helper is 6’4 plus whatever the helmet adds. I was way too tired to get a picture next to the board

 

[MustangMike]

I won't say what that board looks like ... but it reminds me of an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond!

Looks awesome, I hope to one day have enough time to garden.

A guy I used to work with gave me the go ahead to take as much as I wanted from some trees they had taken down. Some really big stuff that I don’t have enough bar for, or the muscle to split by hand, so doing what I can over the next few days after work. Hoping to pull at least 2 more trailer loads of easy wood out then have the hard stuff left if need be

Get the gravy then noodle the big stuff. Looks like red oak so should split with the fiskars pretty easy.
