Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[H-Ranch]

Well I scrounged up something today that I have wanted for a long time (note, I did not say needed.) Cheap enough by the pound at the scrapyard that I now have to decide whether to keep or flip. It's one of those opportunities that doesn't come up often so it may be a tough choice. I'm sure I can make several times my investment whenever I decide to sell, so I may keep to see how often they get used - probably not as much as in my younger years. And it could just be a chance to find out how many friends I have.

Northern part of Ulster. The bird flu is in Putnam…

Kingston area?
This whole time I was imagining Columbia county

Looks like the older setup we had at the dealership

Sold it to my pals brother in-law, Tommy

He was beyond happy with the deal I gave him

Yep, I suspect they were upgraded at a shop and discarded. They appear to have been operational and I hope it doesn't take much to get them going. I couldn't manage to fall into a deal like you offered so here I am.

Yes. My girlfriend lived in Greene for a few years and then relocated to Putnam. I get around.

Euc is tough

Needs to dry a couple more years

Good time to replace the bed. I bought a new takeoff for my Ram for $1200 3 years ago after it got creamed by a falling tree.

Welp, I’m basically out of room for more saws…

Found this regarding NY's upstate... Fairly high level but very descriptive.

OK, I had the bird come into our seed this morning, and I don't know what the heck it is! It is small and mostly black with a white head.

You will need to zoom the pictures to see it well. Don't know if it is a breed I am not familiar with, or if it is part albino.

Comments welcome.

Albino? You mean invisible?
Ha, was looking at the feeder…not the tray below

Sounds like a good plan. There aren't too many lakes around here where one can catch quality fish close to shore. All the small lakes are hammered constantly. There's a 10 acre lake near my house that will have 10-20 shacks on it on the weekends. There's Lake Winnebago but that requires driving with something to get to the fishing spots and I refuse to risk my truck.
Could get one of these!

Saw quite a few in South Dakota.

My sister lives on Washington, near that lake. Friend has a house right on it, down the street
I was there one February…lake was packed.

On a legitimate scrounge today. The neighbor had some logging done. Aspen clearcut but there's maple and oak tops in here.View attachment 1234659View attachment 1234660View attachment 1234661

No trailer?

Geez… just saw on the news that there is a confirmed case of Bird Flu in Mustang Mike’s neck of the woods… Enough with the invasives already!

The last one took 1 dose of Hydroxychloroquine to cure
I **** you not…

Nice gas/oil can, have the same one, they work great. Forget the maple and oak, scrounge up all that hemlock in there!

Saw this local ad for hemlock.

Why would you rather have a softwood vs oak?

I hope you guys realize my post was meant to be a joke about the namesake of the Audubon Society. All the birds he painted were shot first.

But a lot of people don't know that. lmao OT
