That's both unfortunate and quite surprising................

I've never been anything but highly impressed with Tim's.

Knives in WI have been de-classified as weapons unless used as such , this happened in DEC 2016.
including automatic opening knives aka switch blades.

Ash is all gone here other than small diameter re-sprouts. Not sure what the BF price is locally.

I timbered my easy-to-get-to ash when I saw the EAB coming. Got right around 1800 BF of spalted boards kiln dried and T&G. Did my garage in it. Turned out very nice.

I'm in the process of getting ready to advertise a few live edge, bark on, 12/4 cherry 8-footers. Thinking maybe $5-ish/BF ?? Not sure.

to dry and not enough nitrogen can all make for a cold pile

you should have enough nitrogen with the manure

if you dig in it a bit and it isn't moist as a rung out sponge , yes water it

Thanks Carl. I appreciate the referral. He and I are sorting things out via PM.

I guess the development companies and general house contractors must be getting in on the last run before the death spiral here in Soo Foo metro because the boys have been building like crazy this year (and the rest of the last few years). Then again, Soo Foo area got a good number of covid & big blue state reg refugees during Fauci's reign and many of those people are buying new houses in cash after dumping theirs in an even pricier area.

The development company opened up "Phase II" up the hill behind us in 2015 with 80 blanks. I sort of laughed at that number for the area but I suspect its now about 65-70% of those built, not a single one under $400k, most north of there a ways. Now they're opening another 35-40 blanks kitty corner to the southwest on more of the farmland. Maybe its all just musical chairs, who gets holding the over priced bag when the music stops...

I have seen a couple road killed on a gravel township road (1 mile length) that I use a lot. A person almost has to be trying to hit one doing 40 or so mph

One of the stupidest moves ever.............. why the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) should any conference extend from coast to coast.

Did someone say oil?

Yep, I am still alive. I toughed thru the heart problems and escaped from the hospital. They planned no additional tests or procedures so not much point being there.
The cardiologist scheduled an appointment for August - no real time issue here. So I am looking for a new cardiologist.
Thanks for your prayers!

Back to oil.
Nobody wants to see $380 oil.
Nobody wanted to see oil top $200 during the Obammy administration. But it did.

About a year ago, some investors were buying in on oil contracts at $200 for 12/22. They may cash in?

Before $380, everything else will be on the rocks. There will be economic and societal breakdown.

There is still plenty of capacity in the oil shale region of Ohio. About 3 miles from my home a rig is drilling. The new site pad will support 8 wells. A second pad can be added for another 8 wells.

I also believe that speculators will exit the market way before we reach that price level. The risk far outweighs the potential reward. It would be far too likely for government to step in and essentially nationalize the oil industry for "national security" reasons. No investor or speculator wants to be holding the bag at that point.

As White says above at some point, the Feds would nationalize the petroleum industry. Wouldn’t that be a hoot! The devil would be in the oil patch for sure then!

Lizzy seems to be taking advantage of the anti trump crowd and has a misconception she would get the republican nod from the anti trumpers if she raises enough heck now. She wont get 2 percent of the primary vote. Shes a highly unlikable bi$?%.

Looking for a copy of George Clawson mink trapping book, I had a copy and don't have a clue on what happened to it. Please PM if you have one to sell, Ron
