Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Lee192233]

Go to

Bed man .
No idea why I'm up, maybe its because I went to sleep at 930 last night, that's not normal. At least there were coals in the wood burner, so I'm getting a fire going and heading back to bed, 230 is too early to get up.
May do some cutting at the neighbors on the cherry that blew down in his yard today. Also working on the barn, need to get some insulation I scrounged on the ceiling of the section I've been working on.
Neighbor stopped by last night (actually two of them did), said he'll get the outlets wired in and installed this weekend for me. Just need to make a decision on what lights I want to put in there.
Put the final coat of ceiling paint/primer in there yesterday. Hoping to get out and cut some base board, casing, I know a guy who said he's done that before . He said Saturday might work, the weather looks great for that.
Alright, I'm out, hopefully like I took some Nyquil .

Yeah, I fell asleep at 10 in the chair watching tv. Woke up @ 1:30 with a sore neck. Takes me awhile to get back to sleep when that happens.

Sounds like the barn is going well. Bet you can't wait to move in there.

No word of a lie, I saw a mosquito yesterday. A mosquito in February! Talk about strange weather this year. With any luck they'll all hatch and die in a cold snap

We have seen them here in Mass a week ago.

Mornin all. Too keep on today's topic cast iron can really give a mosquito a crushing feeling. Have been looking for a lid for my 10 Lodge skillet. Every place I looked they were priced close to twice what I paid for the skillet. For only a few bucks more I got a 5 quart dutch oven with a lid that works on my skillet also.

I got tired of wondering when this Ash was going to decide to fall over at 4am before I leave for work, so I decided for it!

The 620 is running much better with out the EPA caps

Thank you for not pulling a BL and drinking 4 pots of coffee in the middle of the night then posting 45 times in a row. LOL

I would have only drank one, and made a page of posts, I use the multi-quote feature . It's not as easy to use as it was with the old operating system, especially when I'm on my phone. Not sure why when you respond to multiple posts and try to copy one out of the group, it leaves the user name there and you need to delete that before posting. Then many times when you copy one like that and try to paste it the user name isn't there, the previous system was much better for multi-quoting.
BL has been MIA for a couple weeks.

Morning guys. Beautiful day in the neighborhood here.

My older daughter had to be at school at 7 am for a field trip so I headed into town early for the day. Younger daughter hanging here with me at work till I bring her to school after 8.

Busy weekend (of home and yard duties) coming up. Have to drop a few trees onto the ice for a neighbor and I would like to get under the house and check on a few things before it gets damp. Also clean my bedroom-it still has camping gear from last summer spread out all over.

Yeah I suppose that hazlenut creamer is more filling than just straight leaded black coffee.

I don't have any problems on my laptop with chrome or Iphone 13 although on the phone it can occasionally be tough to get in and respond to the quotes in the middle.

25 beautiful days. But who is counting.

Last time he got in a tiff in here and "put himself in timeout" he disappeared for 4 years. A guy can hope lol.

Just looking at the longevity of some of the posters in here. JimR on AS since 2005, gggGary and I since 2009... Even Chipper has been here for almost a decade!

(I have shared this story before to him but maybe not to the group). I was a mod when Chipper joined and for a while we suspected he was a formerly banned member due to his writing style being very similar to this other fellow. His IP cleared him though as I think the other guy was in Massachusetts.

I miss some of the oldies like Wudpirat, Zogger, and even the crusty Alleyyooper. Glad to see Mainewoods will hopefully be back.

At this point I think you should just leave it out...just sayin'!

I think @svk will be able to lay claim to Cast Iron King and Northwoods Outfitter now.

Well if I was still single I would. Have been seeing a lady for about the last 6 weeks and want to spiff things up a bit in there.

If it paid more I would be a canoe trip guide!

Nice pot! Do you remember the term for that one? It is somewhat unique with the tall slanted walls.

 

[H-Ranch]

Can I squeeze in a scrounging pic between cast iron posts? This is the rest of a decent sized maple that was removed at the neighbor's house last fall. I got most of it then, but stopped when hunting season hit and just got back to it a few days ago.

I have always just called it a bean pot? Seems pretty fitting since its only real use is sitting on my wood stove with pinto beans and onions in it in the winter.

Beautimus! Need to fix up some good brunch in your cast iron now

Blowing the thread up with more scrounging pics this morning. Big ash in the neighbors woods came down with the 50 mph wind gusts we had. I had left it since it had a lean towards the pasture fence. Wind was blowing just right and it landed 25 ' from the fence.

Glad to see Mainewoods will hopefully be back.

Unfortunately, it was not the same guy, but good to have new blood. I fear we lost the original, who was my age.
