Some pictures from Tuesday. Snow accumulation is pretty rare for us.

Been awhile since I posted here. Smoked two turkeys for Thanksgiving, total weight, 35 pounds. Used up most of charcoal on hand made in spring this year. Need to make up more before I smoke anything else

This is cool. WTF is a Tree Boat?!?

A tree boat is a tree with one boat in it. A boat tree would be a tree with many boats in it.

Makes good sense!

For me, it came along like this, My brother had traded for an old boat that needed way to much work, and sat in the field across from my shop for near a decade. I asked him what he was going to do with it, as I was mowing and cutting trees that were growing up around it. He said he was going to get rid of it, and if I could do anything with it, to go ahead. In the same time period, I had committed to building a tree fort for/with my grandson. Well, Tree boat was born as an inexpensive way to do both a tree fort and clean up the field of the old boat.
