We have to be careful here. If we get too far into the weeds with this wood drying business, we'll likely scare away any potential newcomers...
This is one of those situations where there's a never-ending stream of "alternate facts" :hair:
I get the thinking behind getting the wood baking earlier in the day. Last I knew though, wood doesn't retain heat like asphalt does. It seems to...
Here's a more in-depth article to give a better scope of what's happening in CT: New heating oil laws kick in July 1st in Conn.
I guess that wouldn't be a huge deal for people with tanks in their basements like I have, but for people with tanks in the ground outside it...

Got my first Blot bell pepper coming in. [ATTACH] Usually I pull all the rogue tomatoes that come up on their own, but I’m letting these two...
The mockernut is processed. Definitely had to channel my inner buZZsaw BRAD to get these stringy rounds to yield to the maul. I may break down...
