    I was told BL bark stinks when burned. I tossed a piece on the firepit years back and its true. Its compost and/or mud cover in the woodyard.

    All I know about BL bark, is that it stinks when burned.

    The state of the woodyard is - icy

    A concrete walkway to the screenhouse and beyond.

    Turning the corner

    Up and to the left

    Then down the aisle to the stack I'm drawing from

    The pathway I take when wood is brought to the deck.

    All ice covered. Any snow left behind became slush with heavy rains. Slush froze.

    I'll be needing to wear these for a while when I head in that direction.

    Oh yeah. I posted the wrong link above. I have Stabilizers that stretch over boots. They work well. Same idea as creepers, just different.
