Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[GrizG]

I heard the club members were pleased with the outcome, as there was agreement to exclude the existing clubs from the new regulations (which was their concern).

I've been a member of PCFGA since about 1980 and use to be a Board Member.

However, I also spoke to my brother (a Lawyer) about it, and he said it may be an example of "Exclusionary Zoning", which is illegal!

I agree with your brother… I’ve spent enough time in city council and county legislature committee meetings (1,000+ of them), and as an appointed advisor to same, to see what goes on. By the time it reaches the public it’s often difficult to change course… I’d try to get someone involved in the zoning process to add grandfather language beyond the “new rod and gun” (from memory) verbiage.

I was surprised it wasn't the 7900.
Miss mine, after saying that I'm probably going to have to look at pictures of it now .
Those big rounds take a good bit of time, but they sure produce a lot of splits.

Was too lazy to put the new chain on . I toasted the chain on some metal

Cut the last of this years wood yesterday. Shed is stuffed. Has anyone seen a longer handle for a prince log splitter valve? Can't find one so I use a piece of pvc pipe for an extension.

Cast iron strikes again. Homemade whole wheat crust pie, one pound of breakfast sausage, onions, green pepper, sharp cheddar and a half dozen eggs.

Can you bolt on an extension to the side of the handle?

Morning guys,

Been busy with school but trying to do as much saw work as I can. My son and I worked with my BIl last weekend to cut down a maple at their place. He's getting to be a young adult. I gave him a husky 236 and he was bucking up stuff with the rest of us. Hope everyone is doing well. Hoping since 2 of my classes are CAD classes which I'm familiar with that I can get more time to cut.

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's OK stuff. Not the end all be all. We used it on the trucks and conveyers/salt spreaders at the township. Needed re applied after the trucks got washed off, or we had rain for a week, or we plowed slush... Basically anytime the film got washed away. At minimum it will need reapplied yearly on the trucks we didn't plow with.

I tried that on my RAM 2500 rear frame after sandblasting it. I even used the metal conditioner prior to painting it. For some reason the rust came right thru it in many places. I was under there the other day and got pretty pissed off at what I saw. I spent a lot of time doing this work. I painted the frame with a brush and put that paint on heavy. I always thought that POR15 was the best.

something didn't go right, used it several times with good results. Only thing I never liked about it is it needs top coated.(extra expense on an already very expensive product.) Switched to using a rust converter and 2 part epoxy paint on frames. My cousin did similar on his 74 f-150 frame back in 2014 and so far there still no signs of rust coming through.

Regarding POR-15; It says right on the can it is supposed to have paint over the top. At least the last can I bought said that.

Regarding Fluid Film, I use it on steel I don't want to rust that is generally stored inside. I know Easterners sometimes spray it on the underside of vehicles. It is better than no protection, but is easily removed, as Sean says, The tin worm is hard to kill. Different formulations of steel have varying resistance to the tin worm.

I too was pleasantly surprised in the Mojave and Death Valley.. One time in the Armagosa desert I ran through a swarm of grasshoppers, it was blood and guts all over the bike. I also learned to stay the !@#$ out of Commufornia.. Although the northern part on the coast was nice.. My favorite ride was going over Westgard Pass into Big Pine area..

I made two longer trips on my bike, first one was 12,300 miles and the second one was 15,000 miles, both started out in Alaska.

I've been over the ALCAN HI-WAY 13 times total, may go again someday, haven't decided if I really want to or not...yet. I have been all over the US and most of Canada on a bike though.

I'm not at all interested in taking longer trips on a bike anymore, even though I still have a few...

We stayed in the northern part of California for the most part spent the weekend at Monterey bay then headed to Arizona .

Hey @MechanicMatt , what did you choose?
Saw this today and was thinking of you . Another vette just happened to be a couple cars in front of him. Are these things super charged, looked like it said that on it.

Had these guys munching on debris in the back yard, they seemed to prefer the cherry, but tr8ed a little bit of everything .
