Do you try to mill to dimensions that can be integrated with commercial lumber?
Or full dimensions?

Town dimensions.

I actually dislike full dimension lumber..... to me, it's just awkward..... and it doesn't play well with readily available fasteners and so on.



Now, anything that's going to be planed, I cut oversize for the obvious reasons.

 

[Semotony]

That would make a nice trailer floor...

May be the right stuff for barrel staves which pay much more per bd ft

Little playing after the dentist.

Lots of rain here again this morning. I haven’t looked at the gauge.

Tough night last night, had a 23 y/o nephew take his own life. Left behind 2 little girls ages 2years & 6 months.

My brother is in rough shape.

Sad for the loss

Morning all, 61° to 73° and storming. Nothing major, little rain and thunder/lighting mix. Bottle baby is skittish and you have to put her in the corral alleyway to get her to take a bottle, but when she is eating she forgets you are there. Few more days and hopefully she will calm down more.

 

[Hinerman]

Got sporty here last night. Supposed tornado touched down on south side of town; definitely high winds and sirens going off.

I got a question about the ticks in the mid west, do the ticks go away when summer really heats up?
up here in NW Montana we have pretty aggressive ticks from about April 1st through July 1st. it seems that when we get a couple 90+ degree days back to back the ticks dissapear.
I was curious if it's like that elsewhere.

 

[Lurch]

The heat doesn't bother them at all. Dry weather will eventually slow them down. But drought level dry to really see the difference. I don't think it really hurts them just don't have as much vegetation to hang out on and get near you.

Gooder morning folks. A bit foggy and low 40's for our days start, upper 60's per the guessers.

 

[JimBear]

Dumped .95” out this morning.

40% chance this afternoon

Guessing at severe stuff on Friday afternoon/evening.

 

[Junk Meister]

Never heard tell of such a thing, that is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing that.

That saw would be much more useful than the jacks that they mount under the hoods…

We had .040" late last night. Big drops that came down hard with only lightning as a warning.

 

[JimBear]

Supposed to get sporty this evening here, some nasty stuff around but no in the immediate area.

The only time I’ve noticed tick and chigger decline was the summer we had 11 days of 105 degree temps in a row..
But we also had serious dry conditions at the same time.

 

[Hedgerow]

Just had .7” of rain in 7 minutes..

Impressive downpour..

 

[Only the Tony]

Got a new rain gauge and set it our yesterday. Showing a bit over 3/4" tonight. Joplin turned dark on the way back in tonight.

 

[Only the Tony]

Morning all 57° to 80° for the day. Didn't mean that Joplin lost power last night, just that the clouds rolling in darkened the whole area. Heavy rain at times at the homestead a little after 10 last night.

 

[Hedgerow]

2.75” of water poured out of the gauge this morning.
