Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[mountainguyed67]

At the old CEI coal plant here they would push rail cars onto a big turn table over top of a massive pit that fed the boilers. The turn table would flip the rail car upside down to dump the coal. The whole process took less than 3 minutes start to finish. The bull gears that ran the table were massive. It was impressive to watch.

How did they keep the car on the tracks?

Nice looking ash you have there

No go on wooding tomorrow. Snowed all morning and wound up with 2" on the ground with a lot more that had melted as it came down. Entry into the site will be smeary mud.

This was a similar albeit probably newer system. The generation plant was built in 1901, I think the rotator was WWII Era. The system has been improved on many times over since.

My 13 eff one fiddy 4x4 egoboost. I have dedicated winters so not concerned about snow performance. Honestly I was happy with the Goodyear Wrangler all terrains it came with. I've had several sets of Cooper's over the years (yes I know Goodyear owns them) so I decided to go that way after researching it to death. I can't wait till they're on the truck so I can stop obsessing over them. Lol.

I'm pretty sure Cooper is it's own company, not owned by Goodyear. I'm running a set of the AT3 4s on my F150 and don't have any complaints.

I need to stop investigating chainsaw noises when I'm out of storage room and hot weather is around the corner. Yesterday I hear noises 2 doors down and found out they were removing 7 mature Chestnut Oaks that are dying top down. Stupid me couldn't let that nice wood go to waste and they were very happy to dump it on my property.

I had a very strange feeling tonight when I met and held my brand new grandson... After felling, bucking, dealing with brush and moving rounds to a staging location over the past 4 days it occurred to me that he was the same size as a perfect piece of firewood for the fireplace I feed. Solid at 21" and 8 lbs. 15 oz. I may need a break from the wood.

Congrats gramps!
Did you suggest naming him Ambrosia .

That said, when I looked at the info that was dropped off yesterday for someone's daughter, it looks like she has not filed in 3 yrs!!! I didn't even load 2019 on this computer yet! AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

She may loose the third years refund if she had one coming. From what I remember, you technically are only required to file every 3(or at least they will send you a love letter after 3), but they are only required to give you back the last 2 yrs worth of returns.
You know what they say, the lessons that cost us the most, we are the slowest to forget Good thing nothing like that ever happened to me. She may not get behind moving forward lol.

Bummer. Probably run them into the dirt and sell the remains off to China.

You have 3 years to file and still get your refund. Beyond that you will not get it.

Little stumped. My MS460 didn’t seem to be oiling properly . I took the clutch off worm gear drive was good and I put it back together started it and sure enough oil was coming out the port. Put it together and more oil was dripping down the side of the saw than on the chain . Oil ports are clear on the bar took it apart again found nothing . Cleaned it all specially the bar oil plate and put it back together. Still oozing out in order to stop it I had to crank on the bar nuts more than usual. Don’t get it .

Ooh we just hit 3600 wonderful pages of scrounging, whiskey, maple syrup, life, Covid, and Brandon.

Don't leave out guns and hunting.

Looks like Mr.GQ wants to steer this tread.

I've had a post deleted that was non political and asked that he contribute to the thread or moderate if we ask .
I guess no more posting of maple syrup , cast iron skillets and BBQ or Drop Bears and Jackalopes ...

Dang, I was just gonna tell you scroungers about the ground jackalope BBQ I was going to make in my cast iron skillet sautéed in Maple syrup. Drop bear pie for dessert. Look for it in the What's for dinner thread.

So I got a few days off now it's time to start in on some firewood. My circulator for the OWB finally died so heating hot water with propane 3 weeks earlier then usual. That leaves me with over 7 cord for this fall. Got the new Energy efficient circulator pump and a spare cartridge back up just incase it dies on a nice 5* night. Sharpened up 8 chains today to start with. .
Got 2 jerry cans last week. One diesel and one gas and they came with DOT and OSHA Compliant spouts. Got some real spouts from Great Britain, army surplus . The DOT and OSHA Compliant spouts take a few minutes to dispense now it's seconds. Got to love the cans, They seal well so I don't worry about spills or fumes in the car.

That's what many folks do when you give them a little power, but don't give them the real power, they flex what little they have . The ones with actual "power" control the hammer . I've never been bothered by either myself .
Saw this at the gas station, don't think I posted it here, forgive me if I did.
I wonder if I could repackage each piece and list them for more to sell for furniture making or bowls, looks to be HVBW, any thoughts .
