Cut Split Stack Burn
Well, Somehow my daughter doesn’t want to use the very nice Ruger M77 in 7-08 this year (short one in the family pic) and wants to use the .243
So it hit the table to see what I can do to tighten up its groups a bit. Had to do a bit of sanding to get the barrel to free float

Nice, but are they on the books and paying taxes, or off the books and also collecting public assistance. There are a lot of shenanigans going on in the landscaping and tree service professions, but recently government seems he$$bent on keeping a closed eye on it.
We cannot have a Country where one group must pay taxes, but the other group does not; where one group has to abide by zoning regulations, but the other group does not; where one group has to comply with hunting and fishing regulations, but the other group does not; where one group has to pay high medical insurance and high deductibles, and the other group gets everything for free. This crap is not right and is not sustainable
You're welcome to pay mine if you would like!
We don't want you to feel left out!
Loving the pics you've been posting recently. Those tamarack rounds look like they should be hand splittable but maybe not? Or do you just enjoy ripping through them with the saw?
We were talking about ditching school tax and upping the state sales tax 1%. That way everyone would be paying, not just house/business owners and it would have brought more money in for the schools. I was all for it. the governor never signed the bill.
On to more happy things. Amazon kinda screwed me last night. I ordered some tapcons so I could fasten a board to the knee wall to back fill it. Didn't end up showing up till 9pm, so that project got pushed off till today now. I went and picked up the new wood stove. It's in a bit rougher shape then I remember, but still functional, and will be a lot easier to get fixed up then the other one I was given. Took my son with me, ended up spending nearly two and a half hours talking with Kenny. Good guy. His dad bought the stove back in the 80's, got this story about his dad falling asleep with the door not fully closed. (Why the side panel has a crinkle in it, it got hot!) Going to replace that side panel and make it a top or rear outlet. Otherwise a few other little things to fix up, put the new brick in it and call it a day.

I love lobster! I've had some bad/overcooked lobster so I hesitate to get it at restaurants around here. Plus it's usually around $30 a tail here in a restaurant.
I've got to put something like 20" rims/tires on my splitter like yours. When used horizontally, it's way too low and my back starts hurting a little from bending.
Only 3 pages behind. 
Wood pics look great!! My shotgun I use regularly is a Ithaca pump model 37 Featherlite waterfowl special I bought for turkey hunting. Paid $225 back in the 80's. Don't shoot many 3" out of it anymore except an occasional turkey load or 00 buck for running groundhogs. Mostly low brass to sting the deer in the a$$ that are in the sweetcorn patches.

As always, if you can not positively identify a fungus do not eat it.
Can you pull it up on car service ramps?
Coupple farmers sold out and loads of developments went in during that time. Lots of people moved in.
Happening here. Many moving in and fields turning into housing developments. Last year my taxes were about $500. Just had a town reassessment and they went up to $2,600. In one year. Being priced out.

I don't eat them, was just curious. I believe the underside was white, but the tops were orange/yellow. The one closer to the camera went from looking like and inverted cup to totally flat overnight. Two smaller ones in the picture.
Thanks, man. When wet, tamarack rounds this size (20") are pretty dang heavy and they take quite a few whacks with the maul to split. Easier and faster to rip them to carry and load on the truck.
When dry, they pop right apart.
I have tamarack at my place up north but don't recall anyone burning them. Do they run cleaner than pine, spruce, fir etc?
That big monster is a stump grinder. I could never use a low horizontal splitter for any length of time. My SuperSplit is waste high. Any big logs go in my tractor bucket which I park right in front of the splitter table. I just roll them off one at a time to split them up.
