Morning fellas!

 

[Hedgerow]

Super saturated here..

Mud everywhere.. can’t escape it..

 

[Hedgerow]

Every one ready for the cold blast Thursday?

All the guys around here need to put out a *s-wordload of round bales Thursday when the mud freezes up tight.

That’ll buy em a couple days out of the trenches.

Morning all. Looks like the weather won’t bother us too much. At least not so far. One job in Oklahoma is a mud hole. Brought a rig back from Minco yesterday. Headed to Lebanon today.

My poor saws are feeling so neglected!

Lebanon MO?
I am just 30 miles south of there...

Morning/night all! Went in at midnight last night, and going in at 0030 tonight/tomorrowish. Then I'll go in for three whole hours on Wednesday night before a darn good nap. It's amazing the completely unplugged/powered down naps from being sedated.

@cobey Any more news on your back, and dirt/gravel efforts?

I didn't know that.

Pretty wood , has never color, log is 20 plus diameter and 25 or 30 ft long to 1st fork

Dug sassafras roots as a kid. Made tea. Even sold some roots to the local grocery store.

Now I’m told it’s a carcinogen. [emoji2960]

Good deal.
We need one up there.

Wish I was closer! Love milling and haven"t had decent halucinations since they changed the formula on MD-20 20 in the late 60's lol

Are there any plains for a Texas GTG? Have you guys had one here? I've been absent from the forum for a few years.

That is a big sassafras....no?

The hallucinating properties is a new one on me. Never heard of that.

Looked it up. This is crazy:

Steam distillation of dried root bark produces an essential oil which has a high safrole content, as well as significant amounts of varying other chemicals such as camphor, eugenol(including 5-methoxyeugenol), asarone, and various sesquiterpenes. Many other trees contain similarly high percentages and their extracted oils are sometimes referred to as sassafras oil,[34] which once was extensively used as a fragrance in perfumes and soaps, food and for aromatherapy. Safrole is a precursor for the clandestine manufacture of the drugs MDAand MDMA, and as such, sales and import of sassafras oil (as a safrole-containing mixture of above-threshold concentration) are heavily restricted in the US.[35]

MDA: 3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), is an empathogen-entactogen, psychostimulant, and psychedelic drug of the amphetamine family that is encountered mainly as a recreational drug. In terms of pharmacology, MDA acts most importantly as a serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA). Due to its euphoriant and hallucinogenic effects, the drug is a controlled substance and its possession and sale are illegal in most countries.

MDMA: 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA),[note 1] commonly known as ecstasy (E) or molly, is a psychoactive drug primarily used as a recreational drug.[13] The desired effects include altered sensations, increased energy, empathy, and pleasure.[13][14] When taken by mouth, effects begin in 30 to 45 minutes and last 3 to 6 hours
