What‘s a “bolt” in firewood terminology? I haven’t heard of that.
I cut it into bolts
What ever happened to this young genius?
In the context of my posting, a firewood bolt is a section of log cut to firewood length but that is not split. Bolts, in general, can be cut to any length that meets a particular need. Some firewood bolts are cut to 8' lengths and stacked into a 4x4x8' unit for the purchaser to finish cutting and splitting. It is a cord of raw wood but it isn't going to yield a full cord of split 16" firewood. For boiler wood I've cut it into 2' lengths for one guy and 16" for another... the 2' guy only wants bolts of a diameter that he can throw right in the boiler--typically 10" or less. The 16" guy splits his boiler wood... he's 82 now and still splits wood!What‘s a “bolt” in firewood terminology? I haven’t heard of that.

unsplit, long length. Some will eventually cut to size and possibly split too. some use bolts for larger furnaces. A Bolt of fabric was what Gram used to buy to make clothes for the family- or the entire drum and bugle corps uniforms.What‘s a “bolt” in firewood terminology? I haven’t heard of that.
Not a problem, I can have it running in a coupe hours. Problem is, then I'd want to keep it. I already sold my Ford 641. I still have a Massey 135, 4 JD's and a China 20HP diesel loader 4X4. I got too much stuff!!Everything ran when parked

Yup… they are called both depending on the context. It seems the more automated commercial operations use the term bolt. As I had just been reading something about such an operation I had “bolt” on the brain!We call that a “round”.
The loader bucket in my avatar picture is full of rounds.
That's sacrilege. There is no such thing as "too much" of anything.Not a problem, I can have it running in a coupe hours. Problem is, then I'd want to keep it. I already sold my Ford 641. I still have a Massey 135, 4 JD's and a China 20HP diesel loader 4X4. I got too much stuff!!
the "snowflakes" are definitely the problem. I'd prefer them minding their own business instead of telling the rest of us what to do.Maybe the prizmatic effect of snowflakes increases solar panel output .
I can think of one - HilaryThat's sacrilege. There is no such thing as "too much" of anything.
I just offered a friend 26 of my chainsaws.That's sacrilege. There is no such thing as "too much" of anything.
I don't know about that... A few weeks ago I gave my son a whole bunch of mostly woodworking tools: Planes No. 3, 4, 5, 7, low angle block and block, a couple different spoke shaves, dial calipers, combination square, sliding bevel, dovetail saw, etc. Yesterday I gave both my sons a box that weighed approximately 40 lbs. that was full of screw drivers, a variety of pliers, diagonal cutters, hammers, cats paw, and various other hand tools. I did this because it made no sense for me to own 2, 3, 4 duplicates of tools. For example, how many No 4 smoothing planes does one need? I had 4... I still have 3 but only use the Lie-Nielson. I gave one of them a 28 gauge shotgun and scoped .270 rifle a few months ago... I never used those guns as I have others.That's sacrilege. There is no such thing as "too much" of anything.
Is it not just the engine map that restricts it? A remap is easy.Speaking of sacrilege ... I just heard they are lowering the HP and torque on the 2022 Mustang GTs and Mach 1 to meet emissions!!!
Guess I will just have to hang on to my primitive 06! It is running well, just not as comfy as those new IRS ones with the Magna Shock ride!
Wonderful collection of tools, and better they are used and useful, good move.I don't know about that...

Some of the tools I bought new, some I inherited. The No 7 is actually a Millers Falls No 22 that belonged to my grandfather. The sliding bevel was my friend's grandfather's and it has patent dates from the 1890s. I'd rather see these tools put to use than collect dust in my shop. I'm getting out of the museum business!

Diesel, kerosene, marvels mystery oil and dextron III ATF work excellent as a oil system cleaners, the diesel/kerosene run it for 15-20 min then drain, mmo or atf you can drive the engine just try not to exceed 1/2 a quart per 5 quarts of oil. I used to add 1/2 a quart of atf at every oil change to a old turbo mitsubishi eclipse I had and it was spotless under the valve cover after 30,000 miles or about 9 oil changes, just be aware it will burn off and require the oil topped off, plugs may get more deposits and wear faster as well. It should help clean diesel injection systems that use oil pressure clearing up harder starts and stiction. If you have more than a little buildup use cheap oil and change it often (under 2k miles) and do not use flushes or you may have chunks come loose that will plug up oil ports. Even the new antifreeze (100k service) needs to be replaced starting at 100k miles, radiator drained and filled every 30k miles or about 1/3-1/2 of the fluid. A lot of engine blocks have antifreeze drains on the side, even he new antifreeze will separate, gel up and loose its anti corrosion properties.Yes, I flushed the oil. Wynn's is I believe lots of detergents. It's aimed at shifting varnish and sludge. My car has only every had good oil and changed often.. Except this last time, should be sludge free but every engine will build vanish I guess. Mine has also always run at higher oil temps than most (Based on me asking on an owner's forum). Owner's manual says don't push on until oil at 80C so I take that as bottom end of operating range, the oil is good to 130C but VW put the engine into limp mode to protect itself at 120C. From New mine used to settle at 101-103C. Over the years this had climbed, usually stepping up after an oil change oddly, and it pre flush settled at 108-110C. I wasn't sure the cause and actually thought it more likely that the sensor was drifting out than an oil problem. I tried the flush just because..... You know, you get an idea to try, can't hurt, a can is £6 and few in this case so what the heck. Well now the oil temp is settling at 98-104.C. So back to where it was and it goes up and down much much quicker dependingding on if I'm coasting or climbing a hill or.. I wonder if the oil cooler inlet valve was getting sticky and is now free again? No idea really. Any how, use is easy, get oil hot and ready to drain, switch off and add the Wynn's, idle or fast idle for 20 mins, drain.
Oh and I've heard little using diesel as a flush, that won't shift any non gas soluble varnishes but probably shifts some sludge.
It's definitely done something although I'll never know what or if it was a help, but I've bought 2 cans and will do my wife's car and my own again next oil changes. After that we will see but I'll probably not do it more than every other oil change, at most. Wynn's suggest using every change, but then they would.
