how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

Looks like a good one.

I’m just glad it ain’t cracked.

So sick of trying to get solid material out of cracked logs.

I was at an AA meeting & commented on the coffee not being ready when I arrived then someone else commented on the quality of the brew after it was done.

The old boy that had made the stuff said “ Well boys, if you don’t like the brew or that its being prepared for you then you just volunteered for the job. “

And just like that we became the coffee prep guys for the next year…

Needless to say I have learned to be appreciative of the coffee that is prepared at AA meetings.

I like the way you are thinking Thomas, just buy it yourself that way you get the stuff you want. No sense in telling your wife you don’t like the way she shops….

Same sort of thing happened to me a few decades ago at a facility. New Comer I was opened mouth to find foot. Dint hurt, been contributing to making and cleaning up after ever since.
Telling the shopper their job isn't done well enough can get a similar result

That would be good if they did!

Big court, 6-3 , sent it back to lower court for fuller review. Not a full hearing and determination. Still have a Lotta hopes for this country. If not maybe Texas will seceded and we could all be Inna better country (tongue in cheek)

I am really not a coffee snob. I like Folgers, Maxwell House, etc.; any of the "lower" end coffees are fine with me. I do splurge now and then; and honestly, I can't tell a whole lot of difference. There is a blend that I like from a coffee company in Tulsa called Topeca; they have a Santa Ana blend that is my favorite, but I haven't had any in over a year. I do prefer light to medium blend.

The head scratcher about this choice is my wife. She is the picky one about coffee, which also doesn't make a lot of sense because she uses creamer. She will like a certain coffee a lot, but by the end of the can she doesn't like it anymore; wants to try something new. What she was thinking when she bought this is mind boggling. I really didn't think it would be as bad as it is.

Great picture, it would make a great backing for a clock, keeping saw marks, especially if the colors could be preserved.

Make sure to cook your Morel's, and wash your hands after handling them:

Prized morels are unpredictably and puzzlingly deadly, outbreak report shows.

Carl, ever seen one of these?

Military wood box - antiques - by owner - collectibles sale - craigslist

This box is a heavy, built to last box. Maybe from WW2 or Korea Era. Great for storing or displaying. Also, giving a Military Pouch with it.

None of the foraged mushrooms around here should be eaten raw or undercooked, morels included.

I went in a pawn shop today. I saw something I have never seen before; a 372 OE and a 385 in decent shape. Pro Husqy saws are rare in these parts.

I'm wondering the same thing.

Added a couple more nice long straight cedars to the pile this afternoon.




Got a bit of thunder and vertical rain around 4pm.....then it cooled off and turned out to be a beautiful evening.
