Our starter this evening was some cedar decking cut offs. The second course was a piece of IKEA furniture that was never assembled. For the main course we have a delightful all you can burn portion of black cherry. Friends will be over shortly and beer is on ice.

This fire with the combination of cedar and cherry might be the best smelling fire ever.
 
Don't worry you didn't miss anything as I hadn't mentioned it before. Not everything is worked out yet but I'll tell you all more when I get it all done. ;)

Selling our home and going to split the time between a warmer location for the deep winter and our two cabins for spring, summer, and fall. Attempting to get the best of both worlds and I'll actually have more time to cut and run saws.

Wife and I came to the decision that we were running in place in this current life and nothing was going to change that for the foreseeable future (my youngest is 4 so the foreseeable future was about 14 years until she graduates).

House just went on the market and buyers haven't beaten down our door yet but if needed a slight price tweak should heat things up.

But... but... warmer means less firewood:(. I have always liked winter and cold but have to admit the way my hands and back felt last winter somewhere warmer sounds pretty good at times. Best of luck to you where ever you end up, keep us posted. Be great to have you around here but don't think it's any warmer.
 
At this point I do not plan on getting away from saws so you can expect me to be around here still. I have found another obsession in axes however so may pick up a few more after I replenish the toy fund when the house sells. In addition to building a few saws myself this winter I may have another saw or three worked over down in MO.

I have found that certain subsets of the saw world thrive on manufactured drama and have dissociated myself from those circles. I still cannot figure out why some want to turn a fun pass time into something that isn't enjoyable.
 
Daughter went back to college so the wife and I decided to spend an evening enjoying each other's company around the fire pit whilst making up a little suppa. Iowa chops, garden fresh seasoned baby potatoes with onions and fresh sweet corn in the husk. Nice time with the wife and an awesome meal to share together!!KIMG0087.jpg

That warmer location wouldnt happen to be around my area would it????
 
No but I'll be up for some fall hunting at my uncle's for sure!
I have been trying to get a pic of Methuselah. I call him that because I have never seen a white tail anywhere as big as this one. Non typical with drop tines that looks like they will hit his shoulders when he turns his head and a butt that looks like the rear end of a horse. Looks like a cross between a elk and a moose. He's been in my field a few times, but I never seem to have a camera handy. He had a twin brother that was poached not far from here. Game wardens got the deer, but the poachers got away.
