What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I still have probably 6 cubic yards of chips from hip drop in my driveway from earlier this summer, so I moved 7 carts full this evening.

I have been trying a new supplement that has been working really well for me, it is called 5-htp.
So the chain goes- triptifan (like from poultry) gets converted to 5-htp, then 5-htp gets converted to serotonin (the happiness chemical) then a few more transformations and then finally, that gets converted to melatonin (the chemical that causes sleepiness). Long story short, I have been happier, in better moods and have been sleeping better! Best 9 dollars I have spent in a long time!

 

Mirror frames done. Need 2 more coats of poly and I'll take them in to get glass cut.... hopefully tomorrow. Time for bed.

 

House next to me is for sale. It's technically 2 doors over, but I think of it as next door because of the way the houses are laid out. Seems like it's just a private sale, and I can't find an ad for it even in the local classifieds. Wonder what the price is. It's one of the oldest houses in New Harbour

 

Dang! Lotta splits in those monsters. I recently picked up a used saw locally for a friend. On the ride there, I passed several biggins.

pics don’t do it justice. I searched for info and found:



And another large sycamore.

 

Lolol. I’ve never tried sycamore and from the stories heard, I’ll treat it like elm. So my list is elm, any gum, sycamore, and pine because we all know it will cause chimney fires.

 

Wait there are good gum trees, granted most are in Southern Hemisphere!

 

Sycamore isn't bad.....the main problem is it so heavy when wet. Doesn't take that big of a round to be more than you feel like moving.

 

Just go easy on the beer Dennis. I know how these bonfires work all too well.

 

Got the mirror frames done and taken in for glass today. Might be done tomorrow, Friday at the latest. Sink should be installed by then too. Until I get those back and some other parts in, I'm at a standstill on the bathroom oroject. I'm taking the night off to vegetate...maybe watch a movie or something.

 

I don't know anybody around here that will work up elm. Too hard to split. Usually ends up at the dump. No one here burns pine either. Maine is 90% forested so there is no shortage of wood to choose from. I've tried telling others about pine, but they say the fire risk thing. Stubborn.

 

Never burned pine yet. Only problem I have with it is when I have used it for woodworking in the past it gives my head pound and In no time Im not feeling well. Funny thing is I like the smell of it but dont want to work with it. That being said if its free I will burn it..

 

Got the exterior of the bathroom window trimmed out and caulked this morning. Might try to put the baseboard heater back in this evening.

Supposed to be a hot one here today @90*. Rain sets back in tomorrow through the weekend.

 

Yup my wife’s leg

problem when too many players are on IR

3 small fractures small bones top of foot
5 hours at ER because it needs an x ray!! Since when is that a difficult process...

edit; it wasn’t my doing! Ran down middle of stairway EVEN Though there is a railing on both sides

 

Are you sure that you weren't chasing her!

 

Yup; I couldn’t catch my wife in a foot race on my best day!!
More like fishing... throw out bait.. throw back ones aren’t worth keeping

she is a keeper!! I wonder what foot she will use if I need a good swift kick in the arse

 

Got the heater installed, leak checked, purged, and trimmed out tonight. Couple other piddley odds and ends stuff too. Hopefully get my mirrors back tomorrow.

Big storm rolling in now....lots of lightning in the distance.
