What did you accomplish today?

My oaks hold some leaves until spring. Fucking leaves take years to break down too. And that fucking pollen dust or whatever rips my tractor engines to the point I trade them in at 7 years.

You can change out air filters 6 times a year, doesn't matter. Lost a Kohler engine at 7 yrs once. Just shut down and all the oil came out in the yard. Sucks.

I compost my oak leaves in old bath tubs mix/layered with spent goat hay , pot ash, and fish remains, and small amounts of sawdust. 6-9 months totally broke down ( except the twigs ), lots of worms, ants and birds and the random neighbor digging in it. I top dress all my fruit trees, tomatoes ( wink ) and what ever else. I've often wanted to submit a sample of the extension office for testing but never got around to it.

Was you coon hunting...... did the storm blow the mosquitoes away.
Any luck selling your timber/firewood?

No on the coon hunting, but I did hear someones' hounds sounding off.

Mosquitoes have been bad. They used a plane to spray a couple of weeks ago.

We are a go on selling the timber. A week ago they said 2-3 weeks before they start. Chips are bringing 50 cents a ton, but I'll be thankful just to get it gone.

{sorry for the slow response. I haven't been online much lately}

Never thought about selling chips, but I have noticed that there's some bad ass chipping videos on UT, it makes sense. Chips = the new pulp wood.

I throw my oaks thru a shredder and munch em up real good. Few turns throughout winter and they are broken down come spring.

That all sounds very familiar!
I've got a prilosec prescription for gerd but have found that a low fat diet helps more than pills.
And I generally avoid carbs like bread and pasta because too much gluten causes various issues.
Potatoes are fine.

Cannabis definitely helps. :eyesmoke:

I actually eat a lot of fat because I'm on ketogenics.

Don't take that Prilosec. Lawsuits out now because it detstroys peoples kidneys.

Low stomach acid has similar symptoms as too much.

Give apple cider vinegar a try. It helps.

I hate stomach problems and wouldn't wish them on anyone.

Most 20-30 year old pines get sold as chip and saw. They send the bigger logs to sawmills, and the smaller stuff gets chipped. The chip part of it was paying $1.50 a ton before the storm. Now they are around half a dollar.

I'm not sure which mill, but we have one in the area that makes pellets for wood burning heaters. They use Port Panama City to ship them to the Scandinavian countries, and that port took some damage in the storm. My broker was saying they were looking into shipping them to another port by rail. I don't know if they are going to do that, or if the port is back in action.

Today when I went to town I saw a few parcels of timber that had been cut. What I'm hearing though is the big boys have tied up most of the loggers.

Also heard today that $800/acre was what they think the cost sharing from the government is going to be for cleanup and replanting. It's better than nothing, but not much.
 
I had my semiannual teeth cleaning today. Also my first thrift store shopping since the storm. Picked up a stainless steel folding handle cup at Goodwill for 2 bucks. Got 2 each of 3 kinds of bug stuff at another store. 5'ish bucks for 6 cans.

Took a nap after I got back from town. {Did not even crank the chainsaw today} If this rain will slack up some, I'll do my usual 2-3 hours of walking after supper. If not, I'll walk to the nearest shelter {which is my cousin's wrecked trailer} and make coffee, listen to music and smoke. Traffic is back to normal on my road. That means I might see the headlights of 1-2 cars in during my walk if I leave about 2000.
 
I just bought this Nugsmasher OG for making shatter/wax -

Can't wait until it gets here. It has a lifetime warranty and weighs 72 pounds. Bought a bunch of different micron bags to press everything from bud to kief. I've got about 20 pounds of dried frosty trim/popcorn nugs (6 Whole Foods paper bags full), so I'm going to be a dab making fool for a while. What's the best way to store dabs, anyway? I was thinking of keeping them as pressed coins on parchment paper sealed in tupperware in the fridge, but people who know please chime in. Gotta beat the dispensary prices, so I'm thinking $30-40 per gram for top-shelf light, clear, low-heat dabs. How much should 20 lbs of popcorn nugs yield me, @doublejj , @Aeroknow ??? I figure I should make my $800 back ;)




HULK SMASH!!!

I store stuff in freezer. Pops right off parch paper frozen and easy to work with. I also keep tools (metal ones) in freezer.

Easier to work with if everything's frozen.

And after a few minutes, take a break and put back in freezer.

Squished rosin at room temp pulls like used chewing gum and makes a horrible mess, wax not so bad but still...

I wish I had a tiny meat locker. Lol.

(of course 510 carts don't go In freezer, self contained.)
