What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Trap caught a baby bunny. Wife loves holding them so..


She wasn’t sure if it was old enough to bite.

 

Coming from my direction, last time I went up there I took 201 through The Forks to Jackman and then caught 6 over to Rockwood. Guess it wouldn't be much difference to take 16 over to 6 instead.

 

wildwest most house doors are 80” tall most trailer doors are 75… At your height doesn’t matter

How does a door not “fit” studs??

 

The door they sent is 6" wider than the door needed.

 

Thanks Yoop I saw a 3-0 instead of 30
In building a 3-0 is a 36 inch door

 

It was a beautiful 51 degrees this morning so took advantage of the nice weather to head out early and check a preseason trail camera. Drove a bit farther up the forest service road and spotted two fresh beech blowdowns. They're even close to the road for a change! Hopefully I'll be able to get out and scrounge in the coming weeks before someone beats me to them. I'll tackle this one first (the nicer of the two). Haven't done any firewood quantity calculations/updates in a while, and my wood lot turned into minor chaos this summer, but I think new scrounges will be for the 24/25 season and beyond (barring any seriously long winters).

 

Spent most of the day so far mowing grass with the old Troy Bilt zero turn. New set of blades makes it nice. Nice cool temperatures for it as well.

Now break time and then out to do some more work with the Kubota L5030. Cleaning up some more area behind the pond that isn’t finished off yet. Just filling in low spots, leveling by back dragging, getting rocks out, etc.

 

Went to garage this morning and there’s a fox inside, after inspection to make sure it’s dead.. it was obviously bit by dog.. Lady the shepherd does not like foxes! Especially anywhere her mommy goes!!

feel bad for lil fella; maybe year old male

 

My yard is growing shrooms!

 

That is good news wildwest Find a good fix for what had been a long term problem is great for both of you. Now you can snuggle with him every night

 

The fox I had visiting has not shown up for quite some time now. I heard that a guy down the road from us had much greener pastures.

the racoons that were here in the early spring (lots of snow on the ground yet) have never returned either; thats good news.

99 has always fed the chipmunk on our back deck. It would eat right out of her hand. But.......she seems to take more enjoyment of letting the pup go after the chipmunk now! So, I guess it won't be long and that'll stop visiting here also.

 

Very good news!

 

Here is a shot of the wood stove in the shack. The heat shields are in place for both the stove and the vent pipe. Won't be long and the stove will be fired up! It doesn't show it but there is also a 1" air space tween the vent pipe heat shield and the wall.
