Tree service crew says they'll be here around noon.
When the city took down the maple, I kept a few small lengths of firepit wood.

I don't think the ash is worth the trouble.

Got the toy mower and little wagon to fit in the can. All that's left is a milk crate and a little plastic chair. They'll go next week.

Actually there's more stuff out there, but that's everything that was stored in the playhouse.

Howdy klaus! It's just junk. Nothing worth anyone taking with the exception of maybe one of those plastic basketball goals. Might set it out next week. Either it will get taken by someone or picked up as heavy trash.

 

[klausm]

you would be surprised what some people will pick up, or even steal

Yeah, if I really wanted to get rid of the basketball goal I could set it out with a $10 sign on it. Then they'd steal it.

Good late morning everyone. Did a quick run thru earlier this morning but forgot to say hi.
Was out on the water at 7 and was a bit chilly.

I know for sure that I am not a rookie fisherman but I must be a terrible amateur. Was out 3-3.5 hours, scads of fish on sonar but I only had 1 bite. I did catch that one so guess I was 100% bite/hook ratio. Used minnows, crawlers, plastics, variety of artificial , different presentations…they just didn’t like what I had.

Howdy Hardscrable.

Nap time.

 

[Hardscrable]

We had found thru the years if we put a free sign on stuff people didn’t seem as interested in taking it as when we just set stuff out…go figure.

Last Sept. when we were emptying our son’s house in Goshen anything, everything even crappy junk disappeared if it was outside.

Finish my 2nd of the morning then need to goout and get ready to mow before a bite of lunch.

I burned mostly Birch and Ash during my time living in very northern Minnesota between Silver bay and Two Harbors(2012-2017), and on occasion maple. We had a wood furnace (and a propane one). Ash is by far the easiest to burn in the north with such short summers and a dream to split(splitter touches it pop done, next). The ash bore menace has not hit that far north yet either, so they are plentiful. 9-13 cords per year.....-30F is cold.

Hey Klaus, texted your neighbor last evening and got no reply. On my end shows delivered but doesn’t show read. I assume everything is OK…maybe his day off ‘got the better of him‘

No, secret is to put a "for sale" sign with a price on it. Then, someone will come by and "steal" it.
