    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    Early Christmas present today. A farmer friend called me this morning and asked if I wanted some firewood (silly question & he knows it) said he had a tree down from the recent high winds. I got out to his farm and he told me where to find the wood. Drove out across 3 fields to the edge of his...

    Bigger Blower on Hotblast

    Is your blower wired into a temperature sensing fan control or just direct wired to run constantly?? A constant run will over cool the fire box.

    If you've never had a Corgi, you're in for a treat!! Great little dogs, lots of personality and surprisingly intelligent.

    Birkshire wood stove question

    I'd bet it's 7" outside to outside, 7" ID should fit over it nicely.

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    I purchased a Savage 112V in 1975 brand new, used it to hunt everything from rock chucks to Thompson's ground squirrels for almost 30 years. During that time I burned the chamber leade out of 5 barrels. If you load the Swift to 22-250 velocities it'll out last the 22-250, but when loaded to it's...

    Go to any good industrial safety store (or maybe Flea Bay). They should have insulated liners that are made to mount right in the suspension of the helmet. They work well and alow the suspension to work as designed.

    Scrounging in the Boise area?

    Once you get settled, go to the nearest Forest Service office (Boise National Forest) and inquire about a firewood permit. Be sure and ask about/follow all restrictions & regulations. Get a map while you're there.

    Mark the outline of the tent. Bring your wife up to the cabin next trip, she'll find it in about 10 second and hold it up between her thumb and finger and ask you, "is this it"?? Been there - done it. She'll have the "look" on her face and her eyes rolled back like she's dealing with a 5 year old!!

    Try tuning it in the cut. The loading of the motor while cutting will keep it off the limiter. Tune for light 4-stroking in the cut then lean it out JUST ENOUGH to clean it up - no 4-stroking. Works well with a limited saw.

    Probably a good thing he didn't sell it to you!! I had a 750 in my early 20's (1978 - 79) and damn near killed myself on it. Amazingly quick bike:oops: I had to sell it to keep my license..

    Thanks!! That's what I thought. It'll be good enough for garage heating wood.

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    A neighbor called me to tell me he had a tree down and wanted to know if I wanted it. Bark looks a little like hackberry but the heart wood doesn't lookright. Elm maybe?? Any ideas???

    Future firewood, Virus?

    Propane backup. Use about 31/2 cords a year. We have 4 cords c,s,s & seasoned for next year. Currently working on 4rh cord for 2022/2023. Will keep cutting & splitting until I run out of room (about 10 - 12 cords).
