Black Talons? You mean the "cop killer" bullet that could take out a squad of cops? I remember the hysteria over those. Didn't have the heart to tell people my 416 with 400gr solid brass bullets could most likely do that in reality. The majority of Americans actually so little knowledge of firearms anymore that they will believe anything.

The cop killer bullets that NEVER killed a cop! In fact, it was mostly cops that were using them. However, when the media said the coating could penetrate a vest, that was the end of them, Winchester pulled them.

Don't you just hate that.. getting free wood that's cut up in a wide variety of lengths. I would prefer cutting it up myself. I've got one more load of Mulberry a neighbor gave me that has to be 're-sized'. Lot of cut off nubbins to deal with.

No doubt but I ain't saying much because it's so close lol and oak but it is a pain

Good Lord!!! If I could just get the nephew that dumps free wood for me to cut them all the same length!!!

Oh don't get me wrong, I didn't reject it. It's just that I'd rather get it stick form and do the work myself. Then I end up with only 1 cut off per stick. Now I get a half a dozen or more for the same length. Then I got to pick them up and toss in the nubbins bin.

I have my free wood guy almost trained. I cut 16" and he brings me stuff 32". He even marks the 16"cut spot. Only an occasional oddball piece.

Nice, cool early fall morning with nothing better to do than cut firewood. New tractor is a god-send for handling logs, tops and brush.

Hey folks. Need help identifying this pan. Looks like it has had a rough life.
Soaked it in vinegar and scrubbed it with an SOS pad. It is in the oven at 400° for the first round of seasoning.




It must be pretty old judging by how well machined the inside is. Should be great for cooking and baking. I'm sure it would have cleaned up better with lye or electrolysis, but I'm not setup for that. Have I ever mentioned that all my cast iron is dishwasher safe? I don't have a dishwasher.

Edit: Wapak Hollow Ware Co.
It is a Wapak made sometime between 1903 and 1926. I think it is pretty kewl. Light weight, very smooth inside and it may give the BSR pan I got from @svk some serious competition on my stove.

I get mine as new by putting them in the oven on self clean,,, open the door as it get smelly,, they come out like fresh from the mold.

The tree guy doesn't do if for me, but his sticks are usually multiples of 15-18". It's only seldom I have a cutoff.

Yesterday I had a big rotary cutting job to do, so my helper and me was on it all day with these two tractors,

Today I kinda took it easy, but I did need to get after picking a few tomatoes,

These are "Big Boys" and "Romas",

of course, that meant BLT's with tomato soup for supper! lol

A little different scrounge today .....
I had 10 or 12 old locust post that I probably would not have used again as posts but were good enough yet for firewood. Made about half a ric.
