    Part time genius

    I drove by a tree cutting fiasco yesterday. Saw was stuck in the backcut. 4-wheeler hooked up with a short strap. I had to turn and go back. Save some injury and good humour to boot. So not only was the saw stuck but it had been stuck once before. Chain still hanging in tree and they had...

    Wild Pig Problem

    http://www.agweb.com/article/march-of-the-wild-pigs-naa-chris-bennett/ Seems like there should be a market or at least a home for the meat. I have had it and like it . Probably a law against it.

    Volume of gas in gas station pump lines

    When you buy premium gas and the previous customer pumped regular, how much regular do you figure is left in the lines? I usually pump a gallon or two in my vehicle first. I guess if you are buying 5 gallons at a crack it wouldn't matter as much.

    Attempting DIY operation

    I jammed a nice wide splinter of White Oak under my thumb nail 2 1/2 or 3 weeks ago. It came out intact I thought. About 10 days later I noticed the finger getting sore and could tell it was a little warm as well. I probed with a needle and got it to drain and soaked it in hot epsom salts for...

    Pinched nerve in shoulder

    My left shoulder has been bothering me for 4 or 5 weeks. I have tingling down my arm and in my hand. Not incapacitating pain but uncomfortable and hard to sleep. Using a chain saw is not the best for it. Anyone have experience with this? First time for me. Things usually heal up on there...

    Home coffee roasting

    I finally got around to (someone sent me an "aroundtuit"!) buying a roaster and some green coffee beans. I ordered from Dean's Beans. Nicaraguan, Ethiopian, Peruvian, and Guatemalan. I roasted some Guatemalan-they said smoky flavor-I get burnt out of it, and some Nicaraguan-they say dry with...

    Homemade sauerkraut

    My buddy and I made about 40 pounds a little over 2 weeks ago. They say it isn't all done with its process until 4 to 6 weeks, but you can eat it at any stage. It already has about the same tang as store bought. Uncanned is supposed to be much better for you as well. It only foamed up for a...

    Timber Wolf TW5

    Anyone own or use one? One is on Craiglist for $6200 asking price. They say it has about 175 hours on it. I have a lot of Ash that will need to be harvested in the next few years. EAB is in the area. My old splitter is almost 30 and no fun to roll big chunks up on. $6200 is a lot of firewood.

    Power Co. tree trimming whoops

    http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130205/CITYANDREGION/130209522/1109 I have seen power co. crews pound in a ground stake and hook their truck up to it. It sounds like the truck wasn't grounded and arced from the rims to ground. Nobody got hurt anyway.

    Northern Lights

    We are getting some pretty good flashes through the clouds and the rain. It must be a pretty strong solar flare. It is worth going out and taking a look, it could be a widespread event.

    Bark smells like Vicks

    My son brought me a sprig from a tree to ID. Leaves look like a Rhododendron. When you strip the bark it has a strong mediciny smell, similar to Vick's. It has dried out some and still has a strong smell. I could get more info/picture if nothing comes right to mind. I would think the smell...

    Birds Galore

    I never have seen so many different bird varieties that have been around this year. Tons of Baltimore Orioles, Bluebirds, Flycatchers, Pilated Woodpeckers, Bobolinks. Even Ringnecked Pheasants are around. My bud and I spotted a pair of hyper birds a couple months ago. I thought they were...

    Black Walnut - Turning Blocks?

    I cut a Black Walnut today that had a limb split most of the way down the main trunk. There is a 20" 6 foot log. Above that is about 15 feet that is firewood. Above that there is some straight 12" trunk and some good size limbs. Anybody ever sell any turning blocks? I know Stig has...

    346 smoking

    3 month old 346. I have run a little over 4 gallons through it. It was running just a tad on the rich side. Now it doesn't have enough adjustment with the limiter to not smoke. Anybody ever have a saw go too rich? Better than too lean, I guess, but it has me puzzled.
