    Wood stove heat

    A mix of hardwoods- red oak, red maple, norway maple, sugar maple, black locust, beech, hickory ( no fun to split lol), black birch.

    Science! Quartz, and all the other minerals it may contain are deposited in a liquid state, thus, there can only be a certain percentage of other minerals in suspension within the liquid column. As they settle, they self segregate according to the strongest law on earth, gravity. Over time, more...

    Right, if you were negative rigging, it sounded like you needed more height 😅 Different charts for different cranes, that specific crane you could get considerably more height at 100’, but your capacity decreases by ~40%. Most cranes have a deduct for the jib being stowed .

    The exhaust on my Golf is coming apart. It sounds like I'm in a fog horn when it upshifts.

    A dumb question- If the jibs are not really an advantage and most decent operators never use them, why do they continue to carry them around on the side of the boom for years and years? Doesn't the extra weight affect their lifting limit, even down on the lower part of the boom? Why not just...

    One would think. I’m going to agree with @SeanKroll and listen to huberman on this.

    The class wasn’t that hard but I’ve had a lot of operating experience for other machines and I was the go to “rigger” for the crane op when I was in construction. @lumberjack chart is not favorable at 100’ but better than the 38/127. He has a jib but at that radius it’s no advantage. Jibs...

    Exercise

    I still feel I should do it everyday. I’ve been slacking on it lately and I’m mad at myself for it. At the least I splash my face in it every morning. It’s amazing the wake up just that brings. The sauna is on my list to acquire. I can’t remember the company name but they have the “Eddie” and...

    As a general rule, if the quartz shows signs of oxidation, which that specimen does, it contains gold. As for how much? You'd have to crush it and process it to find out. Probably significantly less than a gram from that hunk of rock. A dump truck full of that stuff is probably worth the time...

    I’ve also heard to choke it down tight and try to schedule this for right before bed time

    Yeah, from what I've read/heard, a sauna is the missing link to maximum temp-induced health benefits.

    I do that. I've tried both. Yup, did that but the heat output is alot lower compared to logs burning Thanks for the responses, all. I will examine further.

    Was the crane op test difficult? In CT it is notoriously difficult. My crane guy says, as an analogy, 'we all know to stop at stop signs but they want you to know the exact rule name and number of the law' which is obviously stupid. I think the crane union is behind it in order to keep the...

    Maybe if I had a sauna the whole cold plunge thing might be very remotely probable.

    As far as going in tomorrow morning before work after you break the ice in the tub, well that is super hardcore. I know you've done it many times before so no doubt you know best. I personally rarely dunk 2 days in a row just bc I don't sense the need for it. Even tho you know best, I guess I'd...

    ...and you feel, how shall I say it, enriched. Beautiful tub you have there, Rich. I was in Long Island Sound a couple weeks ago, I think it was 50* but realized that dunking in live bodies of water like that always feels significantly colder due to the water movement vs a Tub where there is...
