I thought for a minute you were up at Kevin's :

We've had a cold spring here too.Long winter, cold spring,everybody gets cranky.Even on a nice day,I start off with three layers in the morning,strip down to a T shirt afternoon.Keeps the skeeters at bay!

Jeff · May 18, 2002, 02:23:56 PM

That one must of skipped over us millsy. Thank goodness.

We had a few flakes but thats it.

Corley5 · May 18, 2002, 03:50:20 PM

Better you than us ;D :D. It's been a cold miserable spring here too. Maybe a warm up towards the middle of next week.

Kevin · May 18, 2002, 06:15:37 PM

I thought you were plowing sawdust.

Jeff, maybe I can get that guy with the snow thrower to clear some sawdust from around your booth. :D

Well, I had ice on my truck windshield this morning.

DanG · May 20, 2002, 06:49:28 AM

No ice here, but it was 46 degrees this morning. HEY!! This is Florida in late May, for crying out loud!

It shore feels good out there, though. ;D

I put on my Coat and Hat and got a armload of firewood from the stack and am sitting here warming my feet toasty in front of a little fire in the fireplace. I'll be donggone if I'll go out there in that mess.....shucks, it's 55 degrees out there and already nine o'clock. I don't see how you guys up there do it.

I think I'll go get another cup of coffee. :-/

Bibbyman · May 20, 2002, 07:23:13 AM

55! That's T-shirt weather!

woodmills1 · May 21, 2002, 04:12:14 AM

It is tuesday morning, again in the 30's not even warmer than 50's during each day since saturday. strange payback for the mild winter. :-[

Yes- managing my young asparagus beds is bizarre. I usually leave the little spikes to mature to feed the roots, and only harvest some of the fatter spikes. But they all are getting frosted- so I might as well harvest them- they will not mature. So we had asparagus, onion and cheese eggs this am- farm fresh eggs, deep golden yellow. I may never get around to the bed-n-breakfast idea (that one is so far back on the burner that the stove in question is in an outbuilding somewhere..)- but IF I DO- I WILL have hens and fresh eggs as part of the allure. I like my cholesterol golden. lw

This stuff keeps up all I'm gona plant in the garden is frozen corn and peas along with iceberg lettuce. 8) 8)

Bill Johnson · May 23, 2002, 10:27:01 AM

It was 75 degrees here yesterday and they're calling for snow, ice pellets and maybe a thunderstorm tonight. (the weather man is covering all the bases)

The only good to come out of this is the leaf flush is so late maybe all the forest tent caterpillars will end up starving to death.

Hi...No snow here.... really hot and humid.... desperately awaiting rain...

Jeff · May 23, 2002, 02:07:50 PM

Welcome Costa Rica.

Its refreshing to have a new face from another part of the world that did not hit us with spam on thier first post! I hope to see you post often and help us learn about your part of the world.

Tom · May 23, 2002, 03:30:02 PM

Welcome to the Forestry Forum, Costa Rica. Looks like you have us all beat for getting close to the equater. For being 'Sourthern' our New Zealander has you beat. We've got an Aussie laying around somewhere but he hasn't showed his face in a while.

Stick around and teach us about wood and the indurstries dodwn there.

Corley5 · May 23, 2002, 03:38:24 PM

Welcome Costa Rica!! Looking forward to hearing about how it's done in your part of the world.

Bud Man · May 23, 2002, 07:39:23 PM

Welcome Costa Rica , thought It was a rain forest and rained every day, guess not ! Stick atround and tell us about your neck of the woods !

Frank_Pender · May 24, 2002, 04:04:54 AM

I understand from one of my students that lived there several years ago as an exchange student, you could just about sent your watch by the afternoon rains. :P Welcome "aboard" Costa Rica.

:D My oh My... thank you all for welcoming a stranger in the way that you did..

Looking at the amount of time I spend on the internet...I cannot believe I did not find this place before... but hey... I got here now...

Yep..Costa Rica.... Home of the Teak Plantation scandals... Luckely there are more good guys than bad guys... I they provide me with work...

I work for a forestry consultancy in Costa Rica called DHForest (www.dhforest.com)... And we do all the fun stuff of sylviculture... getting muddy in the tropical rains, execute inventories....getting surprised every year of the 3-6 (!!!) meters per year in vertical growth of the Teak, or the 1-5 cm in diameter...Mapping with GPS and GIS... in other words...
I am loving every minute of it...

Thanks again for your warm welcome.... I hope one day I can return the favor...

Be good..

Edo

Edo · May 24, 2002, 11:34:18 AM
