Drove 4- hours to get to the job just to find out they are closed today, crap. 7-10" snow so now stuck in a hotel in Yankton. Hope everyone has a great day today.

Well poop, that kinda sucks.

That’s impressive! How much wood has been ran thru it at this point?

I can only guess at it... proabably a little less than half of a face cord. The pieces are around 18" long.
I felt like it has been reasonable in the amount of wood it burns.

That jogged my memory of a tale told to me by Bob. (Barbara’s BFF’s husband the mailman.)

He noticed an old lady on his route had a huge pile of rectangular walnut shorts on her front porch. Asked what she did with them. She told him she burned them in her small wood stove and a grandson got them from Missouri Valley Walnut.

What they actually were was blanks for turning pump gun fore-ends.


Back in the day Walnut Log or Missouri Valley Walnut was a huge gun stock blank maker. Big enuf to supply the Rockford Army arsenal and such.

Now days they do veneer or ship logs to Asia.

Evening everybody.
Was a beautiful day here in the middle of nowhere.
Got the the firewood cut, the brakes fixed, and oil changed.... but I needed another u joint, so I get to wrench some more tomorrow.

Ended up not needing to replace any of the rotors, and found a set of pads left over from the last brake job I did, so I got to return $400 in parts.

Tom, drainin' th' ol......

Made a cord of chinese firewood with the ms361 clone.
It works pretty well for 219 bux.....

They was guessing at between 1/4”-1/2” of ice from Norfolk,NE - Sioux City - Storm Lake & heavy snow back to the NW.

I would say that @I saw a lot is right in the worst of it.

@I saw a lot

What is your job that has you working in that location?

It was to install switches and VOIP phones for a government agency. Got to the hotel had to help co-worker get unstuck. After a couple of hours, we found out the entire job was put on hold due to funding and the fact it is a new fiscal year. My co-worker chose to stay but I high tailed it back to Omaha. I so hate contract work like that, but at least back home.

Glad you made it back safe.

He said chinese wood and that was what came to mind. Figure the chinese saw turned it into bamboo.
