    Dawn Redwood is a good one. I like River Birch as well. D R is a faster grower and cool history.

    Got to watch what your doing with those. Kind of like a chainsaw. The engine toasted?

    When we were kids my ex was checking a knife by sliding her thumb down the blade. Luckily it was not that sharp. I guess she had seen people do something with their thumb. I showed her the correct way. Gave me the heebie jeebies seeing her do that!

    You are fine planting clover now. We used to overseed it on wheat when freezing temps would cover the seed with soil. It was called frost seeding. Wheat go too competitive to do that in the 80's.

    My 2511 was pretty grabby out of the box. It took it a while to calm down.

    I thought that looked like a box elder. The young twigs didn't look purple enough. Had to check the Latin name. They tip over here, but usually uproot or break off and die. Weed tree that was not around in the wild 50 years ago. Stupid people planted it for a yard tree and now we are...

    My bud, who used to mill long leaf YP beams, used a wand like security used to use. I guess that's what a Garret carrot is.

    We saw the last Space Shuttle and the ISS orbiting together after it had undocked in preperation for the shuttle to end its flight. You could tell which was which by how bright they were. I remember the first satellite I saw when I was a kid in the 60s. Shortly after sundown and it was nice...

    I live a couple miles south of the shore of Lake Ontario. Just rural land between me and the lake. Nice unlit area for night sky. The neighbors horse barn is about 3/8 of a mile north of me. They put up an LED light on my end of the barn that looked like the rising sun. I dropped a couple...

    My nephew built a Camaro drag car. I was at neighbors at a party. I heard this incredibly loud noise and a blue streak go by. After I thought about it I said I think I know who that was. Yup. My son was with him and he is no scardy-cat, but he told him slow down! He was worried about the...

    I was there in 99 and 02. 02 got rained out. Good times other than that. We camped in a close by I guess state place the first year and froze the first night. Campground was a zoo. Bunch of crazies.

    Electric fly swatters from HF work great on fruit flies. Almost like fireworks. Leave some bait to draw them all in and zap zap zap. $5 and make sure it is the D cell model.

    I missed that it was an O ring gasket. If it stays in the groove well oil should be fine. Sounds like a good seal.

    I usually silicone gasket to valve cover. Seals good, comes apart easy, and not hard to clean off. It holds the gasket in place for installation also.
