FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! / Re: 2024 Garden Seeds and Star...
Last post by newoodguy78 - Yesterday at 11:44:15 AMOtis1 I did a little poking around looking at Baker Seeds. Pretty interesting stuff.
While I'm a fan of heirloom seeds and like to see people keeping them going, one thing you can't do is compare them directly to hybrid commercial type varieties.
In my experience heirlooms are different in how they grow and how they produce.
Just don't want to see you get frustrated with growth rates. The heirlooms you have most likely will not grow as fast as commercial varieties fed a lot of fertilizer that are more than likely what you see at your local garden center or box store.

Forestry and Logging / Re: Humboldt vs. Conventional
Last post by WhitePineJunky - Yesterday at 11:25:50 AMQuote from: weimedog on Yesterday at 09:17:58 AMAnother discussion is about the species of a tree & fiber pull characteristics. Here they pull, out there in soft wood world they break so face cut angles can be less.The worst for fibre pull for around here is spruce, basically half to stump jump it as it's falling
This is where I ended up after 25 years in this stuff

General Board / Re: Making it thrugh another y...
Last post by WV Sawmiller - Yesterday at 11:20:25 AM Good looking set-up. Yes, every show is different and each crowd is different. Around here some are more rural with big farmers looking at some shows and urban housewives in the next. The wives are the one you need to attract and when one comes with her husband by the arm and points and says "That is the one I want " you know you've nailed it.
There is no standard layout as you mention. Even the big department and grocery stores keep moving some goods around to see where they do the best and I am sure some are seasonal and sell better at the earlier shows than later ones and vice versa.
Mine are more advertising than for profit although it is nice to at least cover expenses.

Sawmills and Milling / Re: Horizontal slab shaver.
Last post by Dave Shepard - Yesterday at 11:18:38 AMHorsepower is not my friend. The whole point is to have something that converts the slab about five seconds faster than the time it takes to create the slab. Any machine that has more horsepower, more equipment expense, or more investment of my time, won't wor for me.
I neither need, nor want, a market. If the machine I'm thinking of will make cattle bedding, then it'll go across the street to the freestall barn.

Last post by WV Sawmiller - Yesterday at 10:57:56 AMDoc,
If you are volunteering to do the art work you are welcome to do so.
True genius does not always occur in all areas. 
I would not suggest you sit on that "bench" (although we may have Tom do so in a future episode)
BB,
I am sure the price for snakes is highly negotiable. I am sure Tom's catch will fetch top dollar.
Maybe he can buy a new boot with his share. (I can hear Tom in the background "My share! I should get it all! I did all the hard and dangerous work! What a pal ^&%$@"

Last post by barbender - Yesterday at 10:54:25 AM Not that I have any around here to trap, but how much does a venomous snake bring on the "taking up the sepent" market?😂
Poor Tom, from the sounds of this he sounds like one of those guys that can only find trouble on an adventure.
WV, your documentary artistic skills are right on point. Are you sure you were never a courtroom sketch artist?

General Board / Re: Having to Buy Tires.
Last post by doc henderson - Yesterday at 10:43:40 AMOne year we were in Colorado Springs, the Saturday night before heading up the mountain to camp, I noticed the front L tire was showing cords on the very inner part. this was a good year tire and got it replaced at a shop on Sunday morning. That would not be good on a mountain road, pulling a 7 K trailer and with three scout souls on board. good lesson and glad I had the opportunity to learn from it.

General Board / Re: Having to Buy Tires.
Last post by doc henderson - Yesterday at 10:40:21 AMOne issue is when your find a good tire, it either goes out of production or they cheapen it up and it is no longer the tire you had before. These guys are in it for the long haul and steer me away when there is a change. I wanted bigger tires, and we tried a set before a scout trip to Colorado. with the trailer weight the duals nearly touched, and they took them off and replaced with the original size tire. That was 9 am Saturday before we left. good service. I do not know if they are more expensive than the big box tire stores, because I do not shop for price.
