I usually don't have to eat crow very often.

Bed at 10:30, awake by 3:30, on the road by 5. Watched the sun come up on the water today and I am still trying to get warmed up. Deer decided to swim across the lake as well. Friend and I talked for a while but decided that we didn't want to butcher a deer on the bank today.

Had a relative that hated crows. Dad told me about the windmill tower that he had and put a piece of plate metal on the top. Add some corn and a bit of dynamite and wait for the crows to land. I had some strange relatives, but I didn't worry about them when I was around them. These younger generations make me wonder what is wrong with a lot of them.

33° so far today. Guessers are calling for the bottom to drop out Sunday so looks like getting ready for the next few days. Better check my hand warmer situation.

We are looking at highs in the low 20s next week. Hopefully we don't have any calves born during that time.

That is one of the things I worked on have the cattle at my place. Bulls went in week of Thanksgiving and will be pulled out end of this month. Same for around Fathers day as well. Start calving about March and done in about a month and a half. Start again end of August and September then done. Had one late calf this fall which surprised me. Bulls were in a little long in winter so I could worm and run pink eye vaccines to all of them.

hey guys got a question. this friend of mine who stairs we are building has this high end custom white oak front door. it was in the finished raw state no sealer or stain. he wanted that exact color and finish but safe for exterior use. contractor used spar urethane recommend by manufacturer and of course it turned it to a honey color. as expected. he doesnt want that color of finish. i cant think of a way to maintain the natural color. idk if linseed oil or similar would work? or is he gonna have to stain it a darker color to not have that honey color when urethaned? any suggestions?

In my experience......
If it's exposed to direct sunlight nothing will work long term, even just regular old daylight such as on a north facing wall will be a problem long term.
The water based finishes are about the only thing that will not "yellow" the appearance, but those generally have little to no UV resistance so they don't last well at all outside, and they don't protect the underlying wood from UVs so it will fade over time in spite of the finish.

This all applies primarily to the outside of the door, the inside can work fine if it's out of the direct sunlight.

I think I'm telling the truth here.....if anybody knows otherwise, feel free to educate me.

According to the weather guessers on the weather channel, you folks across Central Missouri are in line for 12”-18” of snow.

Ice on the southern edge.

Paint made to look like wood is probably the only way. Which is something I'd never do.

I'd be much happier with the snow. It seems that we will be on the below 0f side of the front that is about to grace us for the next week or better.

The grass has very little if any snow cover in the areas that I travel between.

Our "forcast" isn't really showing anything too crazy here, just rain & other normal winter stuff.
