Yup - Can't help myself. ~smile~ Actually, with all the "new" oak that I have, I think I'm a little light on seasoned wood for the 2018-19 heating season. So......... Went to a friend's house this morning, in town. I had marked some standing dead oaks back in the fall. I took them down and brought them back home this morning. Not a huge haul, but a week or two worth... maybe. I think 18 logs - ranging in diameter. 4-7 feet long. The very edges were spongy and fibrous, but the heart was solid. Just more to cut, split some and get it stacked. I'll still be on the lookout for standing dead. I'm guessing I'm about a cord light for next year. I'll be trying to avoid digging into splits that are 2+year aged. But,if I have to, I will.
That's a beautiful thing! That old, it can go right into the stove. People bring it to the dump because it looks ugly and rotten, Bwhahaha!
mmmm, dead standing oak I had 7 or 8 cords of it several Winters ago. Except for being a little bit messy from a little bit of punk it was raelly, really nice burning firewood. Well worth the little bit of extra sweeping of the floor and stairs every day.
I thought I was the only one who used electrical tape to repair the holes in my gloves. I have gotten ribbed countless times by coworkers who ask me why I do that. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who does it.
Ha. That's actually duct tape. Regarding glove repair - same thing, only different. Sent from my SM-T280 using Tapatalk
That black duct tape is the nuts. Been holding in a tail light on my truck with the stuff for going on three years, and used it the same way you did on many gloves! Nice oak, hope it's ready for you in the few months we have left before next winter starts!
Yep the cheap stuff is not worth bringing home, bought some cheap tape to wrap cords and hose with and even then when it gets cold it does not stick well. Used scotch 33+ for 4o years as a electrician and it sticks and stretches well even in the cold. Surprised to see dead standing Oak at 15% or so, been burning mostly Oak for 38 years and always let the dead stuff set for at least one summer but I never checked the moisture level when I cut it. Oak helped me get through the really cold weather this past winter.
