Seeing that gal with a saw gives me some bad flashbacks.
How'd it go today?

When you can't bring the log to the sawmill, you pull the chainsaw mill out. The widest slab was close to 800lbs at 6" thick.

Is that one of those 'blue gums'?
...some kinda of eucalyptus?

I used to slap whatever latex paint leftover I had then found Anchorseal. Since I air dry most of the slabs, it helps a lot. I skip the paint if I drop, mill, kiln dry within a week but it is rare.

Did you build a kiln, or outsource kiln-drying?

No home made kiln yet though I have been looking at concepts.

Solar or otherwise?
I need to look into a solar dry up.
Share ideas in a dedicated thread, see-voo-play 😉.

Been away a while. Was in California - son-in-law in the hospital twice; four days, then another three. Low hemoglobin. Three units of blood and multiple iron infusions and it’s still low. Home s day and developed a blood clot and cellulitis, so back in to treat that. Have not found a gastrointestinal bleed; looking at digestive disorder causing malabsorption, and hematology causes.
Flew home for a friend’s memorial service.

A young man whose friends with my next door neighbors family wanted to climb yesterday at dusk. I had spurred up a black cherry in my yard to exercise, practice, and check out the dying canopy. The tree has been falling apart over the past 8 years but there’s no targets, so……🤷♂️. We’re going to set a date where he can do some spurless climbing along side me on a tree with a wide canopy where he can move among the limbs.

That Guy With The Face
I'm having a good day so far. I've been a lot more optimistic as of late. I'm having my girlfriend over to my apartment this evening and that's always a fun time. We're going to hit the dispensary for some edibles and then probably continue watching The Black List (highly underrated show) on Netflix. I have a fair amount of cleaning to do. My climbing gear was impeccably organized about two weeks ago and now it's all over the place (except I know exactly where everything is). My organizational skills have always needed some work. I'll be focusing on that for the next several hours before I hop in the rain box. I paid a fellow Treehouser an extremely reasonable sum of money to make me two custom spliced hitch cords, but they're a birthday present to myself so I can't open them until March 8. They're in the mail right now and I'm pumped. I wish I had a time machine. I'll be making some kind of video on my YouTube channel to show them off for sure. Have I mentioned I like hitches and hitch cords?! =-D

Time for your Friendly Local Fireman after school special....
When quilting...it is important to put your big Old Lady magnifier away.
Otherwise your quilt will catch on fire and potentially burn down your house.

Just a house filled with smoke.
I yarded it outside and then we stomped on it.

Just about as close as you can get.
Me and the boys were out dinking around and came home go cake the sheep.
I was gonna quit drinking but they say God looks out for fools and drunks.....and I didn't think 50 percent was enough coverage.

Played around with swings and bombing out of the tree. Got to “run” across the trunk with my body in the horizontal position. That was a lot of fun. Tried bombing out kinda horizontally with my feet a little above my head. Also a lot of fun.
Getting settled in to watch the latest iteration of Bermuda Triangle TV programmes.
Expedition Bermuda Triangle.
It really is a hoot watching them when you are born and raised and lived and sailed through it...

New home owner doesn't want chickens. Reasonable new, and well-built coop and chicken yard.
Altunamatted in for the coop, 3 trees to come out from the same spot, easier with the coop moved to my house, out of the way.
Used the mini/ trailer and some screwed-on boards to jack it up, moved the boards to the bottom of the posts to become skids, winched onto the trailer, and rolled out.
Aiming to get it setup up for spring chickens at home.
