The problem with big trees for firewood, while they produce a LOT of wood for burning come winter…
Is that they make BIG rounds. Like 3 feet across.

I can pick up the ones that are 24″ across, they only weight about 250. Not that hard to put onto the splitter. Roll ’em onto your knee and stand up straight.

The ones that are 36-40 inches across weight somewhere in the order of 500-650 lbs (I weighed three that I just couldn’t roll onto my knee to pick up).

Hard for one guy to handle. Damp oak is HEAVY.

So I hadda get out the Wedge-and-Sledge to break ’em up into pieces I could handle.

Now THAT is work.
I’m gonna feel that all day long.

I can’t stand the Honorable Representative Peter J Visclosky. His politics and mine are about as far apart as can be. Plus his primary choice of folks he represents (because the re-elect him every time) is unions, which I don’t care for….

However, having an issue with a Federal Park in my area, and getting ZERO communication from management (I left detailed voice mail messages, no calls back and no action), I bit the bullet and called Visclosky’s office.

A week later, they called me back for clarification and some other details.

Amazingly enough, shortly thereafter, I got calls from the Federal Park Superintendent…. and action. Problem solved.

He may be a raving Democrat, and represent Unions, Liberals, and Socialists over Conservatives, but when I asked his office for help, they delivered.

This is how it is supposed to work. 

So, today, I was doing a bit of cutting with a chainsaw. Somewhere, somehow, I misplaced one of the nuts that hold the bar onto the saw in the grass while changing a chain. (apparently, the nut departed this universe, as I combed the grass and even went over the area with a magnet….?) Not a big deal, I have a spare…..

So, when I was done, on my trip into town, I stopped at the Stihl dealer and picked up 2 extras, so that when I misplace one again, I would be prepared…

And there, as I live and breathe, I saw him. Dude had a more or less brand new 14 inch Stihl chainsaw and not one, not two, but THREE chains. Complaining that “none of them cut worth a damn and only made smoke”.

Dude at the counter looked at him, then at me, then ran his finger over the chain.

“It’s on backwards” he said. Both of us tried not to laugh.

Harry the whining homeowner looked at the chain.
Looked at the other chains. I stepped up and felt ’em….still sharp as factory new, just discolored from heat from friction.

“Here, let me show you” Counter Dude says.

Harry the whining homeowner just picked up his saw and chains and walked out.

How can anyone be so stupid? 

I always figured that there was more to the story…

And it was all capitalism that drove it.

I have a guy who contacted me via Email for advice on pistols. However, I live in Indiana outside Chicago and he is in Oregon…..So my help is limited.

Anyone in the Eugene area (or Portland, he apparently lives in both) can help him out?

If so email me and I will put you in contact. Contact me at [email protected] and I will put you in touch.

Thanks

We drew (last night) the winning tickets for the three gun raffle my gun club has been doing the past two years…

This is the second year that I have sold two of the three winners. Both times second and third place.

So, if you wanna win first, buy from someone else. If you wanna win one of the other two, buy from me next year.

ETA: Rich, Read your Email!

Mueller is on a witch hunt.

He’s gotta find something to satisfy his DNC masters.

Remember, we are paying for him and his sycophants to keep digging.

How many acid attacks happened in Britain in the 70’s?
80’s?
90’s?
00’s?
10’s?

How does this correlate in time with the importation of muslims middle easterners in job lots and/or “diversification”? ?

Can’t seem to find any info. But I am betting there is a correlation.

Of course, I am a racist and a islamophobe. (and according to some, a rat bastard and a just plain old meanie, but that isn’t important right now).  ….So I see things that the press and liberals (but I repeat myself) can’t…..

with drugs….

You can bet that, at some point, someone will do it with C-4 . (or TATP, but the Jiggle might well set that off). 2-4 lbs of C-4 or Semtex will not do a plane any good, structural integrity wise…Plus just the terror part….

And when they do…….then how do you do security?
Seriously….
