Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

You're just milling the first 5-8' of the trunk, right?

The boards will be from there . I’ll Mill some of the smaller portions into blanks for bowls . In my experience BW doesn’t crack like other hard woods

Do you turn? I've cut a lot of bowl/turning blanks out of my firewood for my Nephew. I've threatened to start turning myself, but just haven't gotten around to it.

My memory's not great anymore. I vaguely remember you posting your dough bowls. And I believe I've asked, your hand aze is homemade from a leaf spring or lawnmower blade?

Pretty similar to what she has there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_snake#/media/File:Corn_Snake_Adult.jpg

We went through this same discussion a year or two ago when I posted a picture of one on the bike path.

They look very similar, (and photos often differ), but based on the location we determined it was most likely and Eastern Milk Snake. The range for the Corn snake is different.

This may have some impact on a few of you regarding a zoning proposal put forth by the Carmel Town Council in Putnam County, NY.

The Carmel Town Council is considering a zoning master plan that includes heavy restrictions on fish and game clubs. The draft is not available online - you have to show up in person. Putnam Co. Fish & Game sent the following notice:

Public Hearing - Proposed Carmel Zoning Code Change Affecting Rod & Gun Clubs and ranges.
Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 7pm at Carmel Town Hall, 60McAlpin Avenue, Mahopac, NY.
Get there early! We need to pack town hall to prevent losing our ranges!
The Town of Carmel recently updated the draft zoning code. The proposed zoning code creates a category “rod and gun club” that would apply to PCFGA., Willow Wood, etc. Many of the rod and gun club restrictions are arbitrary, unreasonable and harmful.
Although the updated code says the rod and gun club provisions will apply to new clubs, it doesn’t explicitly exempt existing clubs. We want the Town Board to leave the current zoning alone or at least add the explicit exemption of existing clubs.

I was unable to attend as I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Any idea how it went?

Well, now I can't stop myself. Wasn't sure what to get from this bin, but selected 2 things. Cheap enough either way. LOL

Today's find. 12 gallons of this Fluid Film for $120. I think that I have some spraying to do.

In @H-Ranch 's honor here are some sour dough croissants. These are for supper if they last that long.

After 13 years in the Chevelle the battery crapped the bed . I replaced it with a regular sealed battery as I have not heard anything but bad about the new Red Tops . They went from made in USA to Mexico then to China

Many questions about that fluid film.. Management wanted me to use it the other day on a half rotten air tank on a truck. I wrote it up for replacement cause of it's condition,, they told me to paint it with that stuff...... If it really worked, you might think it would be sold by rail car.. Asking for more info. You might call me a non-believer.. What say you.?.

It won’t fix rot it’s only a preventative it can be applied over surface rust and even heavy rust to stop further damage but If the tank is compromised replace it

The Rocky Mountains are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

I haven’t seen them since I was 16

Seeing them from the plane was breathtaking

Can’t wait to explore a little before my dinner meeting tomorrow

OMG! I wish I had a scrap yard like that around me. Then again, I'd be collecting more stuff than I could use. Go back and grab me the largest kettle pictured and send it to me .
