Found this guy under a round yesterday when I was splitting. Pretty cool looking.

Nice Steve, the brown + black ones are more common.

Up at my property this summer it was almost over run with Red Effs, in both land and aquatic stages. They provided a lot of entertainment for the Grand Kids.

There is a large puddle on a logging trail up on my property, and if you step in the water, it practically boils with them.

Around this time of year you can find lots of the plain black ones under logs and rocks. During elementary I tried to “winter” them in my bedroom in a bait bucket, unsuccessfully lol.

That guy won’t save you a dime on car insurance.

First fire. Just a small one.

I had the little s244 in the basement running for the 1st time this season. Good thing I put that in as a backup to the NC30. It would heat better if I had a bigger opening in the floor above it(its in the basement) and a "range hood".

Surprised I didn’t have to remove Coroner’s tape when I saw his felling cuts.

I could do worse. Hold my beer.

The ones I see here have orange stripes. Never seen a spotted one.

Bought a set of tires for my logging wagon yesterday at the sale. I couldn't remember the size so I bought a few. Also got 3 SS blades, a tire changer and a chicken plucker. My wife says I'm crazy. Sold and delivered 2 of the blades on the way home and then sold 2 sets of tires when I got home. 18 sets to go, only need 1 set for the wagon.

Nice score buddy.
Hopefully when you get it all sold the 2 tires will be free .

Cleaned the chimney today. got the 6 year old to stuff herself behind the stove and pull the catch pan and put it back up. Most likely first fire tomorrow morning. Been in the low 40s past couple morning.

Small children do have their uses sometimes. Dave had his 4 year old chucking bits of wood out the back of his ute yesterday, much easier than him trying to ferret around under the canopy.

We outlawed that behaviour a century ago

So that was the beginning of the sniveling crybabies people call kids now adays. Didnt realise it started that long ago.

 

[woodchip rookie]

Well since we just had hurricane Michael come through NC I've been out of power since Thursday afternoon wife asked if I could warm the house up a bit.

Also should be scrounging some wood here soon once people get power back up to be able to post free wood ads.

Not sure what exactly it is yet as my wife sent me the pics at her parents house. But I will go tomorrow after work & cut it up & bring it home. It all burns. Maybe more maple now that I look at it

Probably maple? Looks like it has been there for awhile.

Noodled, split, transported (in my trailer) across the street, wheel barrowed and stacked over a cord of hard Maple this afternoon with my SIL.

Sorry, no pics!
