    Official Random Fact/Random Thought Thread!

    Those are fighting words! :O I will just chalk it up to the potential lack of good pizza options near you. :P My wife has family in Kansas City and they think Casey's gas station pizza is the best ever. Woof! We are very spoiled with good pizza and Mexican food here.

Reducing branch end weight on those long extending laterals will reduce the risk of branch failure, especially if there is included...

    Cool eastern white pine formation

    It is difficult to tell in the picture, but if that hydraulic oil is milky I would change it. There are guys around here that have waste oil burners to heat their shops and they are happy to take the oil.

    Kretz/brittle cinder

    Are you sure you are not referring to Kretzschmaria deusta (maybe it is called Kretz for short)? It is a type of wood decay fungi, also called Brittle Cinder Fungus. This would be different than Hypoxolon Canker.
