Morning all, 61° to 70° today. Guessers are all over the place for the next few days. Looks like high of 40° for Saturday, have to light up brush pile for certain just to keep warm.

Are you sure?
I ain’t very lovable..

Yes, even you...

Good morning folks. Getting some sprinkles of liquid moistures with 41f or there abouts till early afternoon , then falling temps and maybe a bit of frozen stuffs. We may be to far south to get the brunt of the heavier accumulations.

Forgot this one, found a honey locust in the fence row to be cut as well. Don't know about milling but it will make dandy firewood.

Curious how others deal with these spiny bishes? We have more than our share in the wooded parts of the farm, and can drop those without too much fanfare, but are hesitant to drop the mature ones in the pasture since the thorns will pop tires and never seem to rot on the ground.
Maybe strategically place diesel and tires around the base and turn it into a huge roman candle, or are there better ways?

Try girdling the trees and letting the thorns die on the tree. That’s what I’ve done; the thorns deteriorate and get very weak, to the point that they will crumble instead of going into a tire.

Thanks, I'll give that a try!

Taking my lunch at home and look who shows up. We have such a brilliant dispatcher.

Probably sent out to spy on you, make sure you aren’t extending your chow break.

Washer decided last night to have a pump failure. Used the prime same day delivery to get a cheap knock off to get it going tonight after work. Did I drink too much kool-aid to get one of these? Got to season it for use on Saturday for some eats.

If the idiot dispatcher had given me one more stop I would have had my own delivery instead of someone else. I could see my house from the last delivery I made before I took lunch.

I have done this.
I do hate those trees.

Last night I was talking to someone that has made some furniture from honey locust and according to him, it’s one of his favorite woods. Also his dad made some bowls from it.

 

[I saw a lot]

23 heading to (maybe) 32. They moved us into the 3"-7" range for snow this afternoon and evening so have to see what happens. Got the splitter moved around and was able to split 2 quartered (half of a round) of the oak picked up Sunday. Filled the wagon with plenty more to do, pin oak always splits so nice, most of the times anyway.

Almost got a Weber but the price difference set me back some. Going to be nice when doing breakfast on the bank fishing in a month or so.

The guy I cut for has some he wants down. I will keep this in mind. I wonder why the thorns deteriorate when the tree is girdled, but don't if you cut it down.
