    Got a couple crab apples on the lower lawn, they will be coming down soon, I'm tired of trying to not pierce an ear or nostril mowing near them. Wondering if they are something to carefully cut up and throw in for shoulders or just toss out for momma nature to have back.

    I tend to overlook it, haven't finished building the smoker. Which the Boss is getting on me to finish. She doesn't understand how unpleasant working with steel in an unheated garage is.

    Crab apple can be a real pain to work with. Takes extra time to cut 'em up but they are good burning :yes:

    She's a work horse. Been in the family since '50. Hate to retire it but it's due. Plan to go through it put some luster back in it and take it to a few shows at the local farm museum shows
