    Looks like pine? The growth rings are too big IMHO to be oak.

    Up before the sun today. Not sure why...just was.

    I spent a couple hours fishing a coax cable from the garage through the attic and down to the basement for the modem. The east end of the house got no signal so I located it in the center of the house. Strong signal everywhere now.

    Poked around in the garden for a bit and got the tomatoes sprayed. Need to get back out there later.

    Just had a beefsteak sandwich for breakfast. ..or maybe lunch...or both. It was super good.

    Going to the sprint races tonight for some drinking and friendly wagering. Pick the car you like on the hot laps. Winner gets $1 from everyone. Looser picks first on the next race.

    I feel your pain man. Hopefully it's not too hot while you are splitting that evil stuff.

    65 with an east wind off the ocean. I gave up after splitting 3 rounds. These will wait until the fall at this point.

    It took my ambition away real quick.

    Lol. Almost true. Just after I took the pic the superintendent walked over to talk to me.

    Here my stash. Stuck in my garage until I know what I'm doing with it.

    If they were ever used for serious weight (like cribbing) they would most likely be oak. But as mentioned the growth rings do look big for oak.

    Finally got this thing painted. It was hard finding the time with all the other projects going on at the same time.
    Gonna try and build a door tomorrow and get a coat of primer on it.
