Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[dancan]

I called Paul, he'd have come up to move the Volvo but the dog, baby stroller and driver were walking the paved section and showed up .
She said that she didn't think that anyone was back there , I told her that it is a road and used 24/7 so please don't block the gate ,,, with my polite outside voice, but let me tell you that my inside voice was saying something else lol

I think that unidentified wood may be Smooth Bark (aka Pig Nut) Hickory.

And you didn't even tell them about the risers .

Yes, Sporting Clays. Wish I was a retired and wealthy. I’d shoot more often

 

[MechanicMatt]

The crew today, I’m the guy in green

Cool, never shoot them before, looks fun.

Your crew would be laughing if I rolled in the 97 Honda hatchback with a curled up cap and a field grade 870 .
I need to get out and shoot, been too long, other than the chipmunk and woodchuck relations .

My BIL shot on New Year’s Day with us, Ithaca pump in 20ga. He’s ALL COUNTRY, surprised a few of the boys how many he broke

 

[MechanicMatt]

When I was a younger guy. I did a fair amount of trap and skeet with my 870

 

[MechanicMatt]

Any of ya wanna guess who the guy all the way to the right is??? And that’s his beloved 870 in his hands. Or just guess what he drove there that day....

Used to hunt and shoot with a Korea vet who was uncanny with any shotgun. Did better against him with 357. Funny thing is he was a cook not infantryman or anything.

That guy looks familiar .

Always keep them guessing .

Me too, miss it, just hasn't been on the radar for a while.
My boy is getting to the age though.
Had a guy my dad has sold some pea shooters to suggest I do some coaching for the local high school skeet club here in town, they've grown a lot, lots of great kids who are also good shooters. One of the guys who had been coaching them passed last yr, his son and I used to battle it out pretty good when I shot leagues and some competitions, it was a good time as a teen and Andy was a great sport . They just have such a crazy schedule I can't devote that much time to it.
This was last yrs team.

 

[MechanicMatt]

That’s Awesome!!! I was joking with the two youngest guys today how much I wish our local schools had skeet teams.

I got a pal that shoots for the NYPD Shootimg team, he has them sponsor free kids shooting on Thursday afternoons during the summer there. They have a Thursday night league, 50 shots, before the league shooting my pals Frank teaches kids. It’s all free to the kids, the shells and the clays. He does it for two things, first is to teach kids firearm safety and second is to try and get more people involved in the sport.

Isn't it.
It kept me out of some trouble too , although we never had a high school team. There are like 8 or so clubs within an hr of the house so we are in a great location for it, but these kids go much further, too far for this guy to do much with them.
What a meaningful thing for your buddy to do .

Can anyone ID this wood?

Found on the side of the road the other night. There’s few a more I might go back for. Quite heavy, splitting difficultly is medium. Ash? Hickory? Bark seems different than the ash I was working with last year, though the fresh splits have a similar smell/feel. Not really familiar with hickory types other than the obvious shagbark.

Well it has to be either elm or spruce

Key word. After all, why would anyone want to go out there. Apart from alpha males who need to go scrounge to keep their families warm or any other good reason. It sh!ts me when people just park their cars like this. Just park off to the side, it's a road you imbecile!

Baby brain perhaps? We've all been there when sleep deprived and in bad need of some respite from the madness that is a young'n that won't S TFU. Get 'em out of the house, a trip in the car to knock them out, a walk in the fresh air to keep us awake (or bury the bodies, ha)...
