Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[rarefish383]

On our way home. Kentucky to St , to Tulsa. Back to Louisville. Yesterday drove from Louisville to California PA via Ohio. Somewhere between Kentucky and Ohio, my neighbor sent pics. His tree guys finished his job and dropped off a couple more loads of Cherry. Back in MD later today.

Nice, and I hate to say it, but I almost did not see the black dog, had to do a double take!

They both look great! We love our dogs!

It’s real fun finding her ninja self when the lights are out!

I offered $250 and I thought that was generous. He wanted $750....hard pass. Needs tank, clutch, and recoil cover. Not to mention what’s lurking on the top and bottom end.

Looks a bit rough for sure.
I have come to enjoy passing on items, then I get to see what's coming next . .
Look forward to seeing what comes your way.

How does that basswood and box elder burn? I think we call in linden tree in michigan. Alot of popple gets burnt in our area, not the greatest but it's everywhere and puts out heat

Keeps you warm and the only taxes are on your body

What the heck is popple?

Aspen. In northern WI they call aspen "popple".

I believe that is the same Crossbow I have, a Centerpoint 370!

Replaced the scope with a "clearer" Nikon, but the dots are a bit off (but I know where they are). 40 is now 45!

Yup same crossbow.

Popple aka quaking aspen or big tooth aspen. Both referred to as popple in michigan anyways. Think once they clear cut the state they grew like weeds

Once felled and split shelf life is maybe 3 years in a covered pile for popple. Gets funky and punky thereafter IMO

If it is covered and off the ground it will last forever. Not covered or not off the ground I absolutely agree

It's like pop, soda, soda pop, Aspen, poplar, Aspen popple lol.
Hope you get the rakes lowered on your blades, cause that things just throwing dust and it's hard on your arm bar.

Got the loader running again and used it to bring down some of the trees I cut out of the driveway since it’s been down.



The mechanic that helped with the engine is digging out a stump. I’m impressed with the power of this engine. It goes up the driveway at half throttle, the old engine barely made it at full throttle. Has better compression braking too.

Oooh the Ithaca! Nice!! And the Buffalo bill 30/30!!!!

I had two Ithaca 37’s at one point. Sold them both over the years. I was just telling a guy about them and I couldn’t remember what make they were for the life of me but I knew they were bottom eject 12 gauge pump’s.

Stopped at the little private owned sporting good store in my hometown and they have a couple of real neat guns that may need to come home with me after I get back from vacation. Didn’t want to blow too much coin before vacation.

I feel ya between car repairs and medical tests that insurance doesn't cover im stretched thin. I have alot of older fishing reels and vintage Shakespeare rods that I need to figure out how to put on eBay to feed my new old saw hobby

Pups playing in the yard tonight.

 

[Brufab]

Nice I see there's some seasoned firewood stacks in the far back

That stuff is only a year old, the 3 year old stuff is what I’m burning this year. It’s on the other side of the yard lol.
