All your dogs sound awesome MM I hope she hangs in there too for you and the wife losing 1 unexpectedly is bad enough but 2 withing a year I couldn't imagine it. Prayers for miss Lucy that she holds on to her health and stays strong for you guys.We got about 6", but it was single digits this morning and only went up to about 15F in the afternoon, and very windy.
I did get dressed up in my warm hunting clothes this afternoon and shoveled some snow then went for a walk in the neighborhood just to stay outside for a while. I was just sick and tired of being in the house and had to get outside for a while, and walked my old dog walk route w/o a dog. Our dog Lucy is 14 and does not do much walking anymore. It is a shame, because back in the day she was a great hiker and the best swimming dog we ever had (you can't tell from looking at her, but she has Newfoundland in her, and she swims like a fish!).
I just hope she hangs in there for a while longer, because if she goes down soon my wife will really be off the rails.
Who doesn't like Brussel Sprouts??You guys have been to atleast 10 different hospitals and all over the state with me and the wife. And have kept my sanity intact thru the hardships we have been facing for almost 6 months now. Not everyone I run into likes brusslesprouts or is ready to throw down over used oil for bar oil or cares you got a ragged out saw that your excited about or if you found some logs on the side of the road lol but I care about all that not only do I scrounge all of the above I scrounge the threads for a coping mechanism to deal with stress.
The thing I like most about reading old post is finding one where someone gives a really good answer. I think damn, that guy is really smart, and wonder who it is? Look up and it was, ME!Nothing wrong with the old threads. Like you said some good info.
I will probably never have that happen!! LolThe thing I like most about reading old post is finding one where someone gives a really good answer. I think damn, that guy is really smart, and wonder who it is? Look up and it was, ME!
We will all need therapy now after missing a day. Chipper didn’t like one of my post so I was making an appointment already anyway!!I had a couple more loads all queued up last night but nobody was asking for a bedtime story so I figured you guys were already sleeping and didn't do any after dark. They were still there this morning.

My friend is a really good chainsaw artist. When he moved he had one bird setting aside. I asked what he was going to do with it? He said he hated it, it was supposed to be a raptor, and what should have been a hooked bill, came out looking like a crows beak. Drove him nuts. I said I loved it, so he gave it to me. Now my hunting shack is almost done, I'd like to take it up there. But, it's kind of big, and space is very limited. I made one table that folds against the wall, so we can put a bunk under it at night. That corner shelf might be just the thing. I could put my collection of Robert Rourke on the shelves and the bird on top. In this pic it's a little hard to see, but there is a fish in it's talons and waves under the fish. The bed will go in the bedroom, the bedroom is full of building stuff. I was thinking of putting some kind of stand in the corner where the table folds down. The bird was carved out of Ash, and I have a 36" tall by 28" round block of Ash. I think that corner shelf is what I need to make next!I haven't tried drying any cookies so I can't help there. One way to deal with it in log form is to let it crack naturally and then fill the crack when it stabilizes when the project is done. I made this corner shelf from a log I cut when green - there was one major crack I filled.

I may try something like one of these for projects. Or something else, no telling until I get started! LOL

When my Dad went into business in the 70's, and I was 16, no one had ever heard of a Dingo. If we had to bring wood out of a back yard with a gate, he'd say, "Boy, get the "Go-Buggy!" It made my back hurt then, makes it hurt now! I think I may have posted this a few years back?I had a couple more loads all queued up last night but nobody was asking for a bedtime story so I figured you guys were already sleeping and didn't do any after dark. They were still there this morning.

Is that just a standard blow up tire or one of the hard foam ones I have to order a new one and trying to decide what's best.I had a couple more loads all queued up last night but nobody was asking for a bedtime story so I figured you guys were already sleeping and didn't do any after dark.

Mine has the standard tire and it does have a slow leak. I couldn't find the leak with soap and water. Been meaning to get a tube for it. Probably should look at foam, but I'm guessing that costs a bit more than a tube. I think I actually have a couple tires around if I do a little digging.Is that just a standard blow up tire or one of the hard foam ones I have to order a new one and trying to decide what's best.
Maybe I'll go for the foam then since I have to replace mine then. Hopefully they can take a heavy load of splits.Mine has the standard tire and it does have a slow leak.

that particular phrase was born while in the sandbox. one of the other Marines in my company brought a little tiny hard drive and a small tablet screen. we were watching beavis and butthead and the one teacher was prancing about singing a song about lesbian seagulls.... I looked over towards the head shed and made a comment about i thought thats whats wrong with a couple of the 2nd Lt's we had with us... I then made the comment that they must have degrees in lesbian seagull dance interpretation and thats why they were both a couple of walking clusterf**ks, and its been in my lexicon eversince.
