I like how it smells, but yep, not much heat and burns fast.

Well, got good news from my dad yesterday. His buddy that gets the free insulation finally told us he has enough to do my shop. Now I just gotta see when we have time next week to coordinate picking it up. Good thing I have the deck over here yet.
I know that feeling.

Just saw this in the paper... Not mentioned in the caption, but that's on the Hudson River. Something to which to aspire!
Ten-year-old Riley Williams, of Saugerties, N.Y., caught a 42-inch, 27-pound striped bass while fishing in Glasco, N.Y., on Friday, April 26, 2024. Her father, Jason Williams, said it was her first fishing trip of the season.

Care to see my naked log ? 
Buffing wheel time!
That's the way I like 'em!
My ex, who found a problem with everything always bitched about me messing with my collections (saws, cast iron, duck decoys, guns, etc) and talking on the internet with guys about guns, cast iron, duck decoys, and saws. I said would you rather I be out at the bar?
Load 11. I see you looking, all you wood snobs (and you know who you are). I did take a bit of maple in this load as filler since most of the oak and cherry is pretty large. Don't worry though, I'm not keeping it - I plan on burning it!

A few weeks ago Family Dollar announced they were closing 1000 of their stores. What do you do when you hear that? Jump in the truck and go shop for deals.
Didn't need it, but 50% off made this $6
This is how it looks after washing it up and doing some stove top seasoning.
Griddle and cast iron seasoning. @svk told me/us about this brand and it works quite well.
I may have to up my game now and go from 10" chocolate chip cookies to 12"

As I've gotten older, I've made a few decisions:
1) I have enough guns, just play with the ones you have and get the most out of them. It may disappoint the purists, but my 348 has an optic front sight so I can still see it and use it. A few years ago, I updated almost all my scopes with either Nikon or Vortex, and I'm very happy with both those brands. They help to make my old eyes a little younger again.
2) I have more than enough saws ... 14 runners from 50 cc to 99 cc and several uncompleted projects. Work on a project when you have time, and enjoy the others, no matter the price, you just don't need more of them!
3) One good running truck and one strong running Mustang are enough for me. As much as I would like to "build" a 60s era Mustang, I don't have the garage space or the time to work on one ... too many other hobbies. Plus, my current Mustang is just so much more reliable than any of them would be. It is very fast, handles excellent, and gets decent mileage (over 20 on the highway). What more do I need???
4) One good road bike and two mountain bikes (both full suspensions, one is a 26", one a 29") are enough. I have difficulty finding the time to ride all of them as much as I would like.

I used to season mine on the stove top, lather them up good then put the stove on low heat until it started to smoke. Turn off and let cool, repeat three times
Now, I lather up good and stick it in the oven. I feel it get a more complete “warming”
SVK is the guy I lean on for my cast iron advice
Load 12. Avert your eyes if you don't like the lesser hardwoods - there is maple and poplar in there in addition to oak, cherry, and hickory. I cut from log pile number two since I'll need to bring help on a few of the logs in pile one just to load them.
No thank you. I don’t need anything to polish on this truck . Dull no rust steel is just fineBuffing wheel time!
