Dropped 4 degrees in last 45 minutes here in the "High Country"

Welcome to AS, the men and women here are....uh, well, ummm, anyway welcome! For those of us that reside in the southern US; it is time to break out the "good stuff". I know that you have been holding back the 3-year old oak, the locust that is hard as iron. Bring that stuff up close to the...

I know this could be considered "crazy talk" but here goes: I empty the ashes out of my OWB about three times a season. I grab my wheelbarrow and shovel the ashes into it then; and here is the crazy part, I shake the wheelbarrow and all the "chunks" rise to the top. It is like shaking a bag...

New Keyboard :msp_biggrin: :msp_biggrin: :msp_biggrin: It is a good thing I always have an extra keyboard or two since I am the IT guy at work. I have an OWB and love it. I advise three things to anyone thinking about getting one. Do you like cutting, splitting, stacking, etc? Do...

It was Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, not Beech. Beech Mountain is always the last to open, never the first.

Worry Indeed :agree2: Come to the Dark Side, Luke.... You need MORE WOOD

Join this club? "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member. " Groucho Marx:laugh:

Good Neighbors Make Life Good I have been blessed with good neighbors for a long time. A couple of years ago one of mine heard me sawing away on a cold and snowy day. He does not know that I was cutting up some stuff for the NEXT year. (You guys and gals infected me with this FAD):dizzy...

:laugh::laugh::laugh: Just read this, do you replace coffee stained monitors and keyboards?

Yes Yes Yes I worked all day yesterday getting a dead, standing locust on the ground. I just love the stuff! (and it only cost me one section of fence:msp_thumbup:)

I am afraid you might be right. Last winter was the easiest I have ever been through here in North Carolina's “High Country”. One of the good things about last winter is I finally got my woodshed sorted out. I would go out to load up the Polaris to bring wood to the OWB and think—I CAN”T burn...

I let my OWB go to sleep a couple of weeks ago and Monday I pulled up the pallet and fence stakes I use to store some wood right up next to it. :( Of course, the weather did not cooperate and I have just come in out of the rain from building another fire. It is supposed to cool down after the...

What he said. (except for the gasket replacement, I do that every other year)

Love Mine I have had my Polaris since 2008 and cannot remember how I made it before then. I use it almost everyday for hauling wood or hay or pulling a trailer around the place. I have not had to plow much snow this year but it works very well and will be needed today (Sunday) if the...

UTV is Great! I also use a Polaris Ranger for firewood, (and everything else around here). I have had very good luck with it and the dump bed is a real back saver. I have friends with other models of UTV and most of them seem happy with their choice. I got the Polaris because it was a...

Last Nights Rain Do you have anything left?

True That Zogger I have spent the majority of my career in the ski resort areas of WNC. We get all the Southern drivers here and based on experience I can tell you that the folks from Georgia are the worst winter/snow drivers of them all. I can’t count the times it has cost them $$$ to have...

A man's got to do... I know exactly what you mean. My first year with the OMB I was so busy with the install that I did not have enough seasoned wood to go all winter and was forced to use some green stuff. One of the guys that was in the same shape the year before told me to try to mix some...

Will start on Friday! There is a shot of cold air heading our way and should hit around then. My lovely wife has already informed me that the fiery furnace will be up and running by the time she gets home on Friday. Yes Ma'am

Started burning again! My wife calls from work today "I have to go to town for work and will be stopping at Wal-Mart. Do you want me to buy a space heater?":msp_angry: My answer: "Baby I was just out starting the fiery furnace before I go to work, Love You" I suppose a happy wife is...
