Good looking couple.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Alas, it never happened.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Oh, my.

I knew a Korean girl who could curse in Russian. She was cool.

I believe that there are something like 6 million women in Tokyo. Eliminating the ones too young and too old, not your types, and those that wouldn't be a choice for other non-specific reasons, i think that there must still be like at least three or four million within the general range of suitability.

OKCupid, Butch.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That looks like a man, bay-beeeeee.

Whacked this Oak a couple years ago, and the lower portion between the two leads is still sitting attached. The type of Oak doesn't dry too well without splitting, so i cut a ring around the bottom with my saw to stop bringing up water, and thought that initially drying it slow on the stump would help stabilize. I put a little roof on it. Just need to cut it of and mill it now, and hopefully it will make a nice coffee table or a few. I'd really like to just mill it flat in half and use the thickness to plunk down somewhere to sit around on cushions. Hard to find a good location for that, however, and it would require a lot of space. It would be a chore to bring it into someone's house. Leaves and acorns in a person's rice field, he wanted it cut. I'm curious about what grain it will show, I bet something nice going on in the middle. So far so good.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Interesting project!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Good to see you Jay! Hope you get a thread going on it when you break into making something with oak

Playing around some tops in a blue oak the other day chasing mistletoe. Just a pretty day. And hand saw quiet

Is that Gall common to the blues Stephen? That is exactly what our blacks look like here from Crypt Gall Wasp.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Actually.. that oak is budding out,... No gall...
We got more of these

And Apple gall which is more prevalent in the blues..

 

[Husabud]

This is the area I'm taking about. Very swollen looking. In the Blacks, if you cut through that section, you can see eggs and little galleries from the larvae. I expect we could lose 70% of our Black Oaks.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

That in particular is from mistletoe in that tree, What's left a dead twig that had mistletoe on it.
Your blacks oaks die from the gall? Wow!
Must be a different wasp than what we get.
I mean, I am sure it does not do the trees any great favour other than the wasp eating other nasties here.. But I doubt I ever saw a tree dead from gall wasp. Branches ... yeah... while trees... not to my knowledge.

I got a few of those neck scarf things from TreeStuff and they rock!

 

[Mick!]

Nice morning here, splitting wood, What a picture of primitive magnificence I am!

Does the scarf help keep you warm? A lot of our fishing captains down here use the for sun protection.

 

[PCTREE]

Yup they help you keep warm and are very versatile. They are just a big stretchy tube that can be worn as a hat or a scarf or face mask. That day it was cold and wet and my lips were feeling chapped, felt good to cover them.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I allways keep a small jar of Vaseline in my toolbox during this season.

[MasterBlaster]

Awesome shades.

 

[Szajer]

Oakley JawBone -but I think they've changed the name since I purchased these.

I'm blind when it comes to bright light conditions. In school I had to wear rose colored lenses cause the fluorescent lights gave me headaches.

Rose colored lenses I know! After all -it was the late 70's....

 

[rskybiz]

You have a identical twin where I live just north of Gainesville, any chance? He does farrier work?

 

[Szajer]

I do actually.

Small world...
