Post A Photo, A Real Photo

We didn’t actually grow these. We got to glean them from the field next to our house. We are grateful.

The wife will pick up onions on the side of the road where they fall out of the onion trucks on the way to the processing plants.
She has a good patch of onions this year in the garden too.

I had a '67 Impala I built from 2 wrecked cars when I was young.
One was wrecked in the front, the other in the back with no engine.
When I finished the front was blue and the back was gold.
A ton of work but hey, only $200 for both.
It was named 'ol blue&gold' and no pictures were ever taken because it was an "everyday" thing .

There was an Impala only car show here last month.
I was not intown so I didn't get to go.

Yep and onion fritters are pretty tasty too. They don’t sound like they would be and don’t look like they would be as you’re mixing, but they sure are.

Onion fritters sound wonderful to me. I love onions.

I think the "fashion gurus" call it 'salmon' now... doesn't seem fair to the fish.

Wiring in my condenser unit. An orange wire in the molex connector on the circuit board was loose & caused AC to blow hot.

This is an interesting surname. Never heard it before.

I like that woman. The first time I watcher video I thought she was my cousin.
They could be twins right down to her speach.

This was posted to show a firewood shed. I was fascinated by the firewood stored in these bags, which we get produce in. The person sells these sacks of firewood in a roadside stand. The buyers must be campers or people who do not heat their homes with firewood.

Yeah, they sell that at city-slicker campgrounds too. It's like one log, split into 4 to 6 wedges, for $10 or something ridiculous like that. The people that buy it know nothing about tinder or kindling and things like that, so they tend to douse it with gasoline to get it started. Best case, their campground spot smells like a gas station after a fuel spill. Worst case, they don't have a campground spot anymore. Or eyebrows.

Some of our grocery stores sell bundles from a pallet. I figure most is for camping or just nightly fire around a fire ring.

 

[backlash]

If you do the math those bundles of camp firewood will cost around $1000 a cord.
If you buy it from the state park it will be green and wet.
You can guess how I know that.
I bought a pallet of 2x4 and 2x6 scraps for $25 from a truss manufacturer. Much cheaper and it is kiln dried and burns hot.

 

[Haertig]

from a truss manufacturer

Wouldn't that wood be treated with some kind of chemical mix?

 

[Wingnut]

Those bundles of firewood are a rip-off, I used to hit up construction sites for clean lumber scraps to burn whenever I went camping... I'd bag tree rounds cut by the City of Coronado as well, let' em dry out a bit in my yard and then burn 'em while camping. I like burning pine rounds, the resin smells so good! You wouldn't wanna gunk up a chimney flue with that resin, but it makes no difference in an outdoor fire ring. I rarely ever bought firewood over the decades, only when it was absolutely necessary. For the past 7 years, I've only bought firewood by the truckload.

 

[backlash]

Wouldn't that wood be treated with some kind of chemical mix?

No, they are just pine that has been dried.
No chemicals unless they are pressure treated and the stuff I bought is not treated.
What would worry me is orchard wood.
The trees are sprayed with different chemicals all their life.
I will not buy orchard wood.

 

[Haertig]

That's good. I imagine all the wood I buy at Home Depot (where I get all my lumber, the little bit of it that I need) is probably pressure treated. I always assumed it was. Burning that would not only be unpleasant, it's probably toxic.

If you are buying lumber like 2x4s it is not likely pressure treated.
You do not want to burn pressure treated wood.

This is not a pretty sight. Cats like to go outdoors at night especially, at least mine did, when the predators are also active.

Came across the below short video. I was absolutly amazed so did a quick google. These were some wood carvers with very, very small sharp tools and eyesight that is better than mine even when I was in my prime!!

Cats are predators too, which may be why they like to go out at night. Unfortunately, there is always a bigger more capable predator that you need to worry about. Something that house-softened pets often forget.

Only if they are pressure treated
