Go into the woods. Cut up logs. Here most have to come off hills. Hoist them into the truck to five-six foot off the ground. Drive home. Get them off the truck. Split them. Load the split pieces into a wheel barrow and roll it to where it gets stacked. If you don’t pass out perhaps go and do a second load. Never have to be confused about your gender.

This morning wife and I went to a friends place for a social gathering and making sorghum syrup ( around here it is called sogum srup ) . Enjoyed the day 
Tomorrow I think they will be pulling out the banjos and guitars .
I think there will be plenty of cat-head biscuits so we can test the previous day’s success.

steve,enough wood for 250 days, fine…, and 250 kilogramm meat from the wild stallion 
, a part in the smoke-chamber, another part sausage in jars (kristijan knows the reciepe with jars)…
better so, as the wild stallion find out your green house would be a nice stable…
the smoked meat can be conseved in a barrel under wood ash…flies cannot arrive, and it dries not out so much…

Yes.Yes. You get the important points, Giorgio.
I did add pictures and linked back up to those.
Hey, Wayne Keith, new day. And fresh eyes, I see now the beaten down walking circle around the cane mill in your pictures this morning. What’s been used to do the walking squeezing??
Animal? Manpower? Or I figure a kid circling around on that four-wheeler?
Regards

I like that round rear window Chevy pickup. I had one like that years ago that the front wheels got stuck in a clay rut and then froze overnight. The neighbor tried to pull it out but left the front axle in the rut. 
Reminds me of this song:

Good Morning All,
I tell fellows relocating Rural that it will take them a whole year of observing winds, rains, snows and true on the ground sunny spots and tree shaded to really figure out a property’s potentials.
Well we’ve been now just a year in this north house and property. Off-summer early morning sun:
The fuel woods I now have in October able to still dry down some if I work the tarps.
And we are now converting the low raised beds garden sited wonderfully by the previous owner gal to high raised beds. Old back and knees now for us both. Walkers and wheelchairs later.
These two spots get the late afternoon suns too.

It never fails to amaze me pacific northwest specific that work and abuse put to a f150 and ranger 
almost half the roofers that come in to work will leave out in a little ranger sacked out on the bump stops with a pallet of shingles 3500lbs in the bed and tar paper rolls stacked over the cab. Poor little trucks start bending frames quickly then they get a fullsize f150 and do the same to them. Mercilessly beaten. Been a while since I heard one come through the yard not howlin and growling from every component. I may not be a ford man but I respect the beatings them trucks can take and keep on going. My last job the boss had a 91 f150 with a service box we rolled around at 9200lbs every day. Poor old wore out 300 inline and five speed just given’er every day drinking down the fuel like no tomorrow. 8.8 rear axle housing was bent and killed wheel bearings and seals almost monthly but it just wouldnt DIE

On the Sabbath Dana and I decided to go for a bike ride. We rode up the trail a few miles and stopped at the cove along the Columbia River. This is one of our favorite places to stop. We walked our bikes off the bike path down to the river and then walk on down to the shore line. Dana looked where she was going to sit and there laying in two different spots were two One Hundred dollor bills just laying there. She thought oh some one placed some fake monies there. Nope they were not fake. The bills were new not old. That was a nice find for Dana. Thank you Yehovah, you are so good. And Bless the person with more monies that left the monies there for us with even more monies to give away.
I have heard of people that do these kind of things of leaving things for others to find. Geocashes. I did look around some more. Lol

My mother used to buy coffee every morning for all her coworkers (she was a manager in a major retail store) its was not expensive even being Starbucks that she bought from but she started a trend one day and when she rolled up to the pickup window she payed for the car behind her and their coffee. She did this every day for many years at the same location and often the girls in the coffee shop would report back that the next person in line did the same and payed for the car behind them, and it would repeat. They started keeping track and I think one time they got 17 people to pay for other peoples coffee. Was pretty neat.
The geocache thing can be a lot of fun I have a few adventure bike rider friends that do it and have won some cool things like a full set of riding leathers from the harley dealership, coupons for free range trip to a gun range, and one guy got a new helmet that was almost 400$. My military friends do it amongst themselves and plot out way points to keep up on their navigational skills and the find is usually something like a pistol or rifle magazine or a radio battery, survival knife things handy to have for guys like them. I have gone on a few trips with them attempting to learn navigation it was a good time

My wife stopped at the store Friday after work, a women in front of her at checkout card wouldn’t work, so when she went to find a friend, my wife payed for her groceries. As my wife left the store, she heard the women shout, God is good.

When God is the Head in our lives guilding us it is just rubs off on to others we meet or do not meet with blessings abound. I remember a movie called Pay It Forward. What a wonderful world this would be if everyone did that.

we do a lot of pay it forward on the gun forums, each corner of Washington state has its own pif box that travels from one person to the next you get to pick something out of the box to keep then you put something back into the box and list the contents and onto the next person. Pretty fun way to meet other gun enthusiasts as well. We also do pif on the hunting/ fishing forums where there is a open seat in the boat and anyone is welcome to come, or even once in a while we give away a guided hunt usually waterfowl or upland bird. lot of those are focused to youth particularly

Ordered a print of Generator Gas(Sweden), and it finally arrived! Also some small silicon carbide tubes as well. I could maybe use this in a smaller Mako, but even with 6 nozzles it wouldn’t make up the same orifice surface area that the Mako S1 had with 4 nozzles.
Another physical book for the collection. Now I need to buy a book from Vesa M.

It’s a shame that this isn’t available in English, I think it’s the best book so far. Did you buy it from Niklas @JO_Olsson

No, I didn’t. I didn’t know he offered them.
I recall some of it is available on Markus Almroth’s site “gengas.nu”, right? Or is that something else?

No, it’s an older book, have it too, but not nearly as good.

I believe you mean the drawings/building instructions from SMP? This was available to buy from SMP, due to low interest Marcus got to publish most of it for free, there are good sizing-tables and much useful information, i’ve used it alot, i belive this never was totally completed, last updates sometime in the -80s, therefore a little newer than the SMP-book, but based on it.
I have to find my prints and compare them to the book.
Edit: this had a sizing- “system” that SMP came up with, gasifiers: f1, f2, f3, f1-100, and so on, both chip and chunk.
