Sean, I’m setting up a rope swing for the little ones, with the harness you sent me… lots of fun at the lake.

Day started nicely - sun coming up over the lake… first of our children arrived here and the rest arrive this evening. First time all five children and their families will be together since three winters ago. Excited to share this special place with the younger grandchildren who have never been...

The nested sphere’s are by Dale Larson of Oregon. Each s different species of wood- popped one inside the other so they roll around but don’t come apart.

Got back from a Woodturning Symposium in St Paul late Sunday. Went out a day early and what do two mostly-retired arborists do? Well, I spent the day with Tom Dunlap driving around the twin cities, lakes, and rivers looking at all the notable trees. The old photo of the three gentleman at a...

You know you live in a small community when notice of your art exhibit is the “Top Story” in the local paper 🤣 Link: Art Exhibit

Cory, Sorry for the loss of your buddy. Your last line ‘makes you wonder why folk even get dogs’… same reason we do other things despite there being loss at the end - we tend to remember and give more weight to the positive memories. And, the great joy of the relationship while we are with...

Huge field? How many acres and what are you planting?

Thanks for the suggestions - duly passed on to the young’un 🙂

Sent to: @Porkbrick but other here might have suggestions, too Our son is in La Honda, CA working maintenance and operations at a Y camp there. They have older Husky 272XPs and Stihl FarmBoss models. He was asking where to get parts: I suggested Madsens and Baileys... Then he asked what saw...

It’s a full time job just keeping your vehicles going!

My ‘62 XKE was a thrill to drive (2 to 3 days a week, and worked on it the other 4 to 5 days 🤣). The whole idea of brakes in close to the rear differential was to reduce unsprung weight to keep the tires in contact with the road better…

Drove the Dragon back in November... it was slow, since the I-40 bridge is out due to Helene, and a lot of folks were on it.

Nick (TreeCareLA) has a drone and appears to be documenting their customer’s properties. Last evening he sent me this photo, as he had driven by my friend’s place in Altadena just the day before. I had eaten fruit from the grapefruit tree in the back yard. You can see the large chunks that are...

1/4 cup gluten-free rolled oats, 1/2 cup water, tablespoon flax meal, 1.5 min in microwave, or if I am making drip coffee I’ll heat extra water to rolling boil, use 1/2 cup of that in the oats, cover the bowl and let sit while flow-pouring the water for the coffee through the mini-drip. Add...

Yep, I like the idea of the self-advance!

Kate Johnson (Tree Being) posted this. I had not seen an automated grinder like this! Anyone seen one in action? Automated Chain Grinder

A while back I felled five derelict, standing dead trees for a fellow woodworker, one of which would have bisected his shop. At our monthly meeting after the voting was done for the 2x4 challenge (make something from a standard 2x4x8’ stud and glue - my plant stand took second place) he...

Likely my favorite rope of all time was the first version of Poison Ivy (though once they changed the build/mfgr it was not the same rope). Only issue was once it got dirty it was hard to see high up in a tree from the ground while placing it. The Poison Hi-vy was a lt better visually as it was...

Purple looks good and differentiates it from ver. 1

Jaime, Great interview!! Where's the trial Max at this point? Does it look at all like what the production model is becoming with the variations you're incorporating? I still miss my Go-Fund-Me version which was stolen in LA...
