Data is easier to manipulate in powershell for me. Quicker, easier and I never have to touch the mouse.
damm that sucks. Strange indeed because I have found that it has helped make my shoulders stronger. Lots of socket issues, crepitus, searing pain......on both shoulders because I used to pitch left handed in stickball but I play tennis right handed and serving used to kill me. Now after a solid year of swinging the x27 I've gotten back into tennis and feel quite a bit more ripped than a year ago for sure.
Only noobs use a mouse. I don't use a mouse in Excel either............ (ok unless I absolutely must but that is very rare)
True test on knowing how familiar someone is with Excel is if they say they hate it or not I'm in it all day, and prefer the keyboard shortcuts.
I'll confess I haven't used that one before. So I had to pull up excel and test it out. So, I'm used to CTRL + C, then CTRL + ALT + V (special paste), then T, to get the same result as you would with above. And , that would be special paste, formats.
Almost! No need for the second CTRL before the ALT. I used to use that all the time, alternating the T with V for values, or F for formulas. Most people can't even handle just COPY and PASTE, let alone the craziness of PASTE SPECIAL.
It seems that special paste doesn't work for me unless using the second control.. that or powerpoint does not like it.. thanks to outdated IT systems! Sorry to have hijacked the thread.. more reading to do!!!
Made a short video for the FB MP guy that gave me all that beech......He seemed real interested in learning and he sure has a lot of wood to learn with......so I just made this quick and dirty to help him out. This is a 16" tall round of beech, probably 13" in diameter.... Instagram Video
I wish I could split it this way! I usually get pretty gnarly wood so it has to split however it can. Every once in a while I get a gem and then I split it like a pie. That's how pine works best. Some of the Mulberry I get is small enough for 4 pieces. If I got more Maple, I would try to be more like this.
I've definitely been spoiling myself because now the knotty/crotchy/nasty pieces I don't even take - whether it's at the dump, from the tree service guys, or my own scrounging. At the beginning I took anything and everything and was determined to split everything and burn it.....now I realize those nasties don't stack well, they fall all over the place in the fireplace, and my time is better served having a bit of ........discrection.......and selectivity.....when choosing what I split. I like having neighbors that will take away my reject/donation pieces....they are happy to split it and I'm happy to be rid of it. Woo hoo.
I usually avoid crotches and burls, but a lot of the gnarlyness that I deal with are trees that are field breaks that get twisted in the wind. You don't really notice the twist until you go to split it. Good times. On a separate note,today at lunch I did find THREE dead standing Mulberry trees that fell in the storm last week. I think you know what I will be doing after work. They are nice and straight in the midst of our grove and they will split great. I will probably try and go for even splits like yours.
Nice! It just hit 30 today after a ridiculously long warm spell in the 50s........so I was out there this morning in shorts and it was quite brisk. Once I got working and the blood started flowing....I felt great.....I had split every single round I had and hadn't touched the axe for a spell of a few days and that felt very weird to me so I got right to finding more wood to split! Hahahaha. It'll be a great evening workout for you for sure!! Enjoy!
lol, i do the same, pretty much, except when i'm in the mood for a work out. But, even then, i like to ''slab'' it from one side to the other, make them about 3'' or so thick. Then i vary some down to 1'' thick, for kindling, or 4+ '' thick for over night sized wood
