Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[MustangMike]

I usually prefer Red Wine in the cooler weather, but yea, 2 or 3 wine or beer a day is just fine for most of us.

But when you've killed a 6 pack for breakfast … Huston we have a problem!

I was thinking of using snow fence like a cargo net to hold against the page wire fence. I've been wanting to try building a beehive stack for a while ever since I read this book. Might have to give it a go.

If you do the snow fence at least cut it in like 4 foot pieces so as you work your way down the stack burning the wood you’re not dealing with a 25 foot long piece of snow fence. Just take off the pieces as you work your way down.

Ah righto, yeah I was wondering how it all worked. I'll just stick to running my wood along the fenceline, or just leaving it in a heap

Cutting back or stopping the drinking is long term healthy for ya. Luckily, I realized I had to do it when I first got married and had a daughter. Many of my friends never changed, and we have buried a # of them and others are just disabled, many of them younger than me. It is a shame.

Guys that can't drive their nice cars any more, or don't get to see their Grandkids grow up … what a shame! I don't want that to be me!

Yeah that's what I figured too Mike, something had to change so I figured first step was sorting the alcohol consumption side of things and go from there, I don't miss not drinking, I know I can't have any because I will start drinking again if I do so for me it's complete abstenance which is a PITA in some ways but I know I can't control it at all so it's best avoided in my situation.

They forget us short people all the time.

And fat ones!

We had some snow around my area too, nothing much but winter will be upon us soon enough and my heaters been going flatout for the last few days and on and off for a week or two now.

I understand that you are in a different hemisphere. But seeing you guys talk about 'the start of winter', just as our last snow is melting, still makes me shake my head.

What winter? We have global warming/climate change and the world is going to end in 12 years unless we get zero emissions.

No rust...Florida truck (no salvage/flood) it has the auto w/overdrive & 4.10 gears. Has the heavy front axle & springs for slide in camper. Talked to the original owner (I'm 2nd) & he told me it is all original except the tires. He has gotten too old to drive and sold it to the dealership I got it from.

That parade queen belongs to my cousin in Idaho. We restored it in the 70's and it hasn't done any work since then

Nutbags the lot of em! We have the same crap going on over here with all these greeny halfwits trying to convice everyone the worlds going to end if we don't change our ways. They get upset over here about burning coal and want everything to be solar or wind powered, which in some states they rely on heavily and they are always running out of power and having to tap into our coal powered generators to keep the lights on

The same halfwits that say killing animals to eat is wrong, yet they happily kill a plant and eat it!
