Can ya come down and do two high limbs on my apple? Can't reach, and they're dead.... :undecided:

Speaking of wood, had this laying around for may years; one of my favorites.



The Firewood Poem

Beechwood fires are bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year,
Chestnut's only good they say,
If for logs 'tis laid away.
Make a fire of Elder tree,
Death within your house will be;
But ash new or ash old,
Is fit for a queen with crown of gold

Birch and fir logs burn too fast
Blaze up bright and do not last,
it is by the Irish said
Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread.
Elm wood burns like churchyard mould,
E'en the very flames are cold
But ash green or ash brown
Is fit for a queen with golden crown

Poplar gives a bitter smoke,
Fills your eyes and makes you choke,
Apple wood will scent your room
Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom
Oaken logs, if dry and old
keep away the winter's cold
But ash wet or ash dry
a king shall warm his slippers by.

Thanks. Got 3 of those. Too tight to do a back & forth saw on it.

Morning all 58* and cloudy here. Rain later tonite and tomorrow. Finished staining all the deck posts and top railings yday, a real fun job. Only 4 sides to do to all ninety-some of them.
Been dealing with major Mom issues, insurance, and the idiotic place where she's at the last four days. It just never %$#@ ends. Mowed and trimmed after I did the deck, and put on my Fall fertilizer. Supposed to get 1" rain tonite, so perfect time. A month earlier than I normally do, but I go see the ortho surgeon tomorrow about leg/knee, and I want to get as much done around here as possible first. Nothing else for today, feeling the aches from yday, so just gonna lay low. Got some fat pigger chops I'm gonna do the sweet/sour plum sauce thing on....have a good day, guys.

Morning boys.  Looks like rain here around supper time.  I want to mow before that and I have a batch of wood to split and stack.  Still windy here.  I see the leaves on the boxelders are getting yellow and starting to fall.  When I lived in Luverne August was the hot month.  Here July seems to be that month and August is already pre-fall weather.  Have a great day all of you.

Mornin' gang! 57 at choretime heading for a hi in the mid-70's. Feels good to be home after being on the road for most of a week then going to the State Fair yesterday to show sheep. That was a disaster as several of our animals had contracted soremouth and were quarantined so they couldn't be shown. Soremouth is no big deal. Once the scabs fall off it's no longer contagious and they were long gone on these. Overzealous naive newbie state fair vets nailed a lot of people for Mickey Mouse crap like that and not just in the sheep dept. It's a PITA to get in & out of the fairgrounds then to have every animal practically strip searched as they did will likely mean lower participation next year. Lower participation means fewer entry fees. Fewer entry fees means fewer $'s for the livestock dept's. Way to go nimrods!  :mad1:

Anyway, got the backyard picked up and ready to mow after chores. Tossed a bunch of leafy hackberry limbs over the fence along with a 5 gallon bucket of ground fall apples for the sheep. They tore into both like crazy. I went in the house to devour some of Auntie Mar Mar's coffee cake. Couldn't stop at one piece. Best get at it. Need to make a run to FF for some softener salt and other sundry items.

No me neither.  I also didn't have a cigarette in the early morning neither back when I smoked.

Back in the days when I was really puffing I would wake up in the middle of the night and smoke one sitting on the edge of the bed. The warden did not approve of that so much. My dad is the only one I knew who would have a smoke in the middle of a meal. Chesterfields were his brand.

I had a friend that just loved beer.  Not necessarily to get drunk but that was part of it I guess.  He just loved beer.  Couldn't be without one when not at work.  He told me that some nights he had to wake up and have a beer in the middle of the night.   :doofus: :doofus:

I'm afraid of that same thing Rooney if I quit chewin, some day. Afternoon peoples what a great weekend,  I had the oldest over here to help load up 3 pick em up loads of maple logs laying in the back from previous cut downs yesterday,  delivered to several different people then came back and went to town trimming with the new dewalt pole saw. That is a nice tool to have, although in the end now I have more maple to stack and burn.. no big deal I guess,  I just dont burn like we used to. A wood insert would help that problem tho..  :happy1:
