Mr. Oleo-Mac got some exercise too.

After two weekends of feasting in a row, a bit of exercise is very welcome.

The cost of firewood is red hot, but it’s still likely the cheapest option for heat in N.B.
Fuel, equipment and competing pulp mill prices have all worked against the cost of firewood according to local producers.

Hard at work?

Or hardly working?

The greatest tool known to man is the chainsaw. 😎

09/04/26: Our woodpile (stacked by my brother) is still standing, untouched.
But not for much longer, the wood is now completely dry.

The return of Snakes! Why our slithery friends are back

Snakes typically hide away during cooler winter months, waiting for warmer temperatures to become active and with spring now here snakes are making their way back out.

From a log I was cutting the other day-- Buddha holding a cauldron?? Image slightly enhanced to make the subject clear, but it was quite evident in person..
EDIT: alternate take- my friend just saw it and said the figure is 'sending out powers' (think casting magic spells or opening a portal or...)

Bad news - The plastic cover for the tractor barn is leaking after 20 years of UV rays and the rain pounding on it.
Good news - The company where I bought it is still in business, pulled up my original purchase order and can sell me a new cover.
Bad news - Gotta move about 3 cords of firewood to get at the ratchet straps that secure the cover to the pipe frame.
Good news - If I shuffle some other stuff around then I can move that wood to the woodshed next to the garage.

Gonna be a lot of to-ing and fro-ing happening once we get a spell of dry weather here in the PNW. Might possibly be a cold beverage involved.

First load test successful. Got a "trunk" full of firewood to the house. Should probably improve the mounting system somewhat 😆
