new to forum but not to wood heat

Yeah....there's a little bit of that.

 

i have been reading here for a while now. now that i have started posting, i will try to hold up my end with "interesting banter". wife says i just mumble.

 

I can hear ya' just fine, and my wife thinks I'm deaf.
Ha! Fooled her.

 

boy, i say boy, that's selective hearing i say! Foghorn Leghorn

 

i mentioned my old ford earlier and am going to try to post pics it and my bike. had to move the honda to get the truck outside.

 

Truck looks great!

Loose the bike...sooner or later, someone will recognize you on that thing.

 

How much wood can you get in that truck of yours?

 

Keep the bike. You need something to stay busy when it is too hot to be splitting wood. I ride this one on warm days like today. It was about 55ºF when I pulled back in at home.


Those in line 6 engines from the 50s were pretty darned good engines. I'm loving that old truck.

 

good evening fellas. yea i don't haul alot in the '64, but it still hauls my saw and brings a little in. i have another truck to haul with. i have had several fast cars but the bike is fast! i like to end the evening with a ride, kinda like a reward for getting through the day. california truck ,crazy clean, no rust , and the six with 3 on the tree. great parade truck, lucky to have it.your bike is sexy. i'll bet that just cruises great!

 

Hey neighbor! I'm just down the road outside of Owensville!

 

good evening bassjam from the next town over. cool to hear of someone local on here. do you see dead ash trees everywhere near you?

 

Yeah, probably half of my 2 acres of woods is dead standing ash. There was a single ash tree in my neighbor's yard that somehow survived, and they took it down in October to expand their driveway!!!

My parents are out near Williamsburg/Marathon, all of their ash trees are dead too.

 

ash is good wood to burn, hate to see them go. beetle plauges worry me about the long term use of firewood.

 

that is what i mean. the trees we burn now need many years to be big enough to be firewood. if we lose them all to parasites not native here it would be decades to replace them. if the weather changes too we could loose woods we take for granted. i can"t even imagine that.

 

If you have areas that are mostly ash, get out in the spring and plant lots of seedlings. You might as well get started replacing them and for goodness sakes don't just use a single species.

 

Not to worry about losing trees 1964.
Are you old enough to remember the rain forest propaganda that was spread back in the 90's? The rain forests will be comp0letely cut down in less than 20 years.

Yeah, right.

 

Nice truck 64, chevy man myself but I can tell a good truck when I see it.
