What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

As you posted this picture, I can hear campinspecter dumping firewood into the basement so he can fire today. A job many people are doing today.

 

There's been a lot of us hauling/ moving firewood this time of year. Tis the season....

 

It is a nice time of the year for it! Beautiful temperatures here at 57 with a slight breeze. And I made homemade Chili yesterday. So there are breezes all around!And changing directions!

 

Id be very happy with how it looks for sure.

 

Yep, built a few mud kitchens this morning, loaded a few that were picked up, and then finally we got out for one last cruise. I pulled it after that, then got to go in the water and disassemble the dock and pull it out. Little chilly!

 

97 Ford escort. only 68k miles!!! great shape inside and out, must...

 

In Idaho... you cast a wide net.

 

Started today off with a bang getting two trailer loads of cherry up to the house before 09:00 so I could make 09:30 conference call. Then decided to chase a shower that takes forever to warm up. Decided the core on mixing valve had done its duty for the last 22 years. Took another 4 hours between HD trips and finally coaxing it out with a couple wedges buZZsaw BRAD gave me at his insistence this summer. He really was persistent. “Really, just take a couple.”
Never would have imagined I’d use them for this.
Thanks!

 

Just window shopping

 

I had an 80 or 81 station wagon. It was actually a pretty nice trouble-free little car except for the rear tailgate opening up on its own on a whim.

 

I hope and pray you get rain and cold temps out there.

 

Absolutely! Come on rain storms!

 

Way too many decades of putting fires out and then the dry tinder builds up.

 

There's got to be enough ground debris or unburnt "fuel".

 

"They'' say, the holiday farm fire to the south of us in oregon is 65% contained, but, it burned 173,094 acres i believe it is. This should have never happened. People have been warning the state for years a fire like this could bring oregon to its knee's. IF some of these fires were fought with the maximum amount of fire righters when they first got started, they could have stopped them. But, it didn't happen, people in high places had it all figured out, to let it burn and then it would eventually burn itself out, later on in the year. Tell that to the people of Detroit oregon, Gates Oregon, Lyons Oregon. Mill City Oregon. Detroit oregon and Gates oregon are almost non existent now. Its very tragic to see these towns almost totally gone.

One ironic thing, the 15th of october was BURN DAY!! So, the local idiots allowed burning, which made the fairly clear, clean skys be smoky for the past 4 days. Simpletons run this state, its nothing but obvious. Personally i think they should have closed the deer and elk season's here as well, but, nooooooooooooo, the game div needs the money. I seriously doubt that the big fires in the above area's will ever actually be totally out. If we have a dry winter, its a good chance this whole thing could repeat itself all over again next year, only in a different location.

 

Those were for doorstops Mike! Thats what Ctwoodtick called them when i gave him a couple. Kerf keepers as i call them. Disposable too. Those came from the house you met me at. Rafter birds mouth cut out scraps. Have a bunch more if you need them...if not for wood cutting, maybe future plumbing work!
