GGG Signs of the times 1) My local grocery store has shrink-wrapped, kiln-dried fire wood. 2) A brand new quart of Minwax Polyurinate - the rim of the lid is 2/3 the size of the rim on cans I have on the shelves, making it a 10 minute job to open the thing without wrecking the rim Ed Minch |

Around here imported firewood sold at retail has to be kiln dried to prevent the spread of bad bugs. In the past five years every single ash tree in this area has died from the emerald ash borer. There are no standing live ash at all. That's a sign of the times and it sucks. |

SNIP GGG Signs of the times 1) My local grocery store has shrink-wrapped, kiln-dried fire wood. END SNIP Ed, it gets stranger. My Northwoods log cabin is in the Chippewa National Forest. There forest has unimaginable quantities of downed, or broken and hanging, dry firewood, free for the taking. And yet, stores in the area sell firewood, some shrink-wrapped.

Apropos of firewood: You know you've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area too long when you see a sign that says: Free Firewood and your first thought is *who is Firewood and what did he do?* Michael-Ducking and running serpentine On Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 8:11 AM, Joseph Sullivan |

The next chapter on the Minwax. Just noticed that the lid was not completely seated in the rim and it popped right off. I tapped it all the way down last night. ???????? Ed Minch |

Ditto on the dead ash trees here in Waterloo- devastated the Ash trees here. In fact, I am waiting for the guys to come by to drop a few big trees at the back of my property. Claudio On Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 11:05 AM, Joshua Clark |

Here is what I did with a friend’s dead ash tree. Go backwards from the shot, text below: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ruby1638/31757826784/in/album-72157671458169080/ If you go forward one shot, you can hear it Ed Minch |

I have a few small ash trees. I use the trimmed branches for pegs and occasionally handles. My woods had beech at one point before my time. I’ve found 2 boles on the ground. One was so bug eaten there was no point disturbing the residents, who would only have found my woodpile. The other was pretty bad but not yet humus. It is harder than stone. Haven’t decided what to do with it but know it won’t happen until after I get a band mill. Mark. Sent from my iPhone |
