Well I'm back there again this week - stay tuned.
 
Ah yes...the old snake picture trip. I remember reading that thread..didn't you leave some stuff because you ran out of milling time? Heading back out...packing your rubber insurance policy again?
 
What happend to the snake??? Great pic.

Kevin

It's a rubber snake. Cuttin buddy Hud is a bit of a joker and had his rubber python on the back of Ranger so he put it under the log for effect. When I posted it the first time I said nothing for a while and then when someone sussed it was a fake I claimed we put it there deliberately to keep the other snakes away.
 
Well definitely no milling today.

That's 116.1F outside under the shade, and 110F inside !

Then the power went off for 4 hours due to a electrical power pole top fire and bushfire about 5 miles away. So no airconditioning,

Hud's ultimate solution to the problem - note reserve supply to the left of the fridge.

Fortunately the beer fridge was so well stocked and already chilled it did not warm up to much in that time.

Rather than be cooked inside we vacated to the elevated veranda of their not quite completed house.

AT least there was a (very hot) breeze.

BTW Here a pic of Hud and Sandy's new house.

Finally got to fire up the CS mill

Late yesterday I finally managed to put the mill onto a log. Its another old jarrah that has been down for many years. I knew it had significant damage down the middle of the log - the question was how much.

This shows the amount of oil I like to see on the bar nose while milling.

No pics of the slabs unfortunately but here you can see the damage in the middle of the log.

Bob...your milling is amazing as is the place you live. I gotta get there some day..Oz & Ireland are on my bucket list.
116???? We just came out of a deep freeze where it didn't get above freezing for almost 2 weeks. I have(had) 2 hives of bees....neither made it. I inspected them today, had plenty of honey left, they just froze to death. Snakes aren't a prob for us this time of year.........
