Well escalated quickly. Mike you are all over the technical definition. I just giving Stihly here a hard time. Dont take stacking advice from me, all of my wood piles are leaning or have fallen over due to a few serious wind storms that accompanied my recent tornado warnings.
I stack tight for the cat and loose for a mouse, really as tight as I can get them.
I have a few Savage rifles, mainly because the ease of barrel change using the barrel nut. Probally the reason I have some weird calibers, 6PPC, 6BR, 308 MD.
Bear with me.
Had a wager with Jack Rush, Precision Shooting Mag. about Ruger No.1.
If I could get a Ruger No. 1 to shoot five under 1/2" at 100, He would buy the beer until I got up to pee.
Best I could do was 6/10", never collected on that wager.
Back again.
Dancan: The bar was unmarked and painted black. Remember it was a rental, so who knows.
It was easier to mount a spare Mikita bar and chain that I knew would work. That bar is now in the check out latter pile

When reading steve's post about being safe, all I could think of was the deadly ticks.
I did a tick check this morning after a whole day and night of heavy rain by my scrounged woodpile .
Not a woodtick or pi to be seen for miles LOL

Around here the Lyme and other crap is bad (the ticks have a new disease that can be fatal, and there is no treatment). But upstate NY, there is no Lyme.

Looks like AS probably had a tick or two this afternoon/evening. No logging on, no nothing. Maybe they got the Lyme treated now.
I was about to post a comment about how much I like the site when it's working, then . . .

I get any crap like that and they say there is no treatment, or treatment that only kinda sorta works sometimes, I am using colloidal silver.
Not a doc, ain't giving med advice, just sayin what I will do. I don't trust the establishment and big pharma to offer nothin much beyond "treatments". Ain't no money in cures, but buckets of bucks in "treatments" "tests" "go to another specialist", etc..
I pulled one that had dug in off the back of my neck the other day, here's hoping I didn't get anything.

What's the new disease? I'm itching to read about it.
I'm the same. I will be taking extreme measures to prevent future tick bites. Give me spiders, centipedes, and other creepy crawlers any day vs ticks.
Oh jeez, I hope that colloidal silver isn't the same crap that my wife and her mom is using. Supposed to be another one of those freaking miracle in a bottle crap ointments. Evidently it can cure/treatment all sorts of ailments. They probably heard about it from Dr. Oz. I swear they would be loyal snake oil customers.
You ever try using permethrin? I ordered a bottle and just waiting for its arrival. It it works for me I may spray my dog with it too lol. Poor animals, must be living hell to have those nasty ass blood suckers attached to you with no way to get them off.
Once upon I time I told someone I didn't get PI either, boy was that a mistake!
Don't remember if this is the one or not, but there is one around here I am sure.

Looks like I need to add a few more rows of "back up" wood, the way these last few winters have been. This one was gone by March. Pretty tough scrounging in winter with 5' of snow on the ground. You can never have too much wood!

And yes, they aren't uniform lengths and they all fit into the stove and burned just fine!

That's not true, there is Lyme in NY. Might not be as much as PA but it exists. I know plenty of poeple in southern central NY, out near Buffalo and north of the Syracuse area that have it. I have a big bottle of Permethrin I will be spraying my work cloths with in the upcoming weeks to be ready for spring work.
