Used to camp out in the barracks right near there when I was in Boy Scouts. Just visited there a few months back. They have several new, very nice memorials in the park now.

Did a wallaby escape from the local zoo?

Not so much marsupial.
I'd guess lagomorph.

No truffles?

No truffles?

Maybe Corky 's still looking for a pig?

Truffle farm. They get a little ornery if you start foraging here

Baby's got her winter boots on! Got some snow in the forecast so decided to get the tracks on before I had to lay in the mud to do it. Been exceedingly dry here in the Southern Colorado Rockies.

Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Spectabilis'.

I don't know, last post seemed kinda non sequitur, so thought I'd add into that vector...

Tis the season...

 

[GrogNerd]

Someone. Something

Some thing clawed the sky


At the very same time, I noticed I could see my breath

simultaneously reasoning what was happening to my breath was also happening at a higher altitude, with a much greater temperature difference & a huge amount more water vapor

2 extreme examples of the same natural phenomenon

Not yet. We have to do the turkey thing:

“I bought him breakfast at the Daylight Cafe. Biscuits and gravy, hot coffee, and eggs…” Bonus points to anyone who can name that tune.

Yeah. You get half a point. The song is “The Gospel According to Luke”.

My nephew works for a "sentenced to serve" program for first-time offenders in Minneapolis. Instead of jail, the offenders do community service jobs--mainly cutting trees and clearing brush at various city parks, snow-clearing, etc. Nephew's job is crew chief on these tasks, supervising the clients. The other day, they cut down a big white oak tree. Knowing that I do woodworking, he asked me if I wanted a rough-cut slab (he's good with a chain saw). I said, "Hell yes!"

This is what I'll be receiving soon. Plan to make it into a garden bench.

He cut that?

From a tree?

Free hand with a chain saw?

!!

Free hand. He said the log section was laying on a hill and he had to cut it going uphill. The guy's got arms bigger around than my legs.

I’d guess you might have a Windsor Plywood store in your area. Those usually have a large, live edge slab, or two, on display. I asked the lumber guy in the WP store here if there was a planer big enough to surface one of those. He said they just used a floor sander.

 

[MaxStout]

I thought about planing the slab, and I know someone with a 24" planer I could bring it to. But since it's going to be a garden bench, really no point. I'll just hit it with a belt sander to knock off the splinters, add some legs and I'm set.

Walked out my gate and this was parked beside our barn. Yesterday he parked across the street. You can't see it but he's alternately eating a sandwich made with a loaf of French bread (un baguette), talking on the radio and talking to whoever is inside.

Do the French enforce mask mandates differently than other places..?
