Paul’s answer: my post-career health
Time to get on the farm, before the Fall heat.
I’m still learning blog-fu.
I posted an entry on TS’s channel. Here’s a link to it. https://blackdogbiscuits.ca/2023/08/13/firewood-dog-biscuits-peace-and/ Wonky post? Poor formatting? Let me know, eh.
List 30 things that make you happy. And these items are in no particular order (at least as of 11:15 a.m.)… House panthers; domesticated wolves; full-tang cutlery; hovering mid-water column; polishing hardwood; October Black (spouse); chess pieces; getting into the right headspace; a singing ulu as it comes out of its sheath; mynoise.net … Aural … Continue reading
No, WordPress, I haven’t fractured a major skeletal part…
Have you ever broken a bone? …however, I did destroy a Sthil MS250 chainsaw bar and chain. This weekend. Ugly, part 1 (at 368 Lindsay Road 40). Our neighbour, MS, helped me take down the other half of this leaning, dead, ash (that’s smack dab in the middle of our future BCB&B build site). I … Continue reading No, WordPress, I haven’t fractured a major skeletal part…
4 weeks of harvesting, logging, and chipping…
…leads to a roughed-in build site! See the attached images, eh. Revision: Ah. So THAT’S how one inserts images. Oy. After 4 weeks of forestry, TS & PN roughed out the future build-site. PN & TS’s build-site is on the other side of the rock outcrop (that is on the left side of the image). … Continue reading 4 weeks of harvesting, logging, and chipping…

…hey! Back off. So we did. 4 hummingbirds found our forest feeder and are now having a turf war over the bloody thing. A humourus 12 minute description of our feathered fiends (not friends). And a safety PSA for Mountain Trout Camp. 🤨 Lumber update: I’m chopping straight lengths of oak & maple (~5-6’ blocks) … Continue reading Juvenile rattlesnake said…
TS – 1 … Black Bear – 0
TS had her first black bear encounter this afternoon (at about 3 p.m.). I was splitting firewood up at the parking lot. TS was shredding branches (~150-200m away from me). While I was banging logs apart, I heard someone swear(?) and started blasting on our canned-air horn. A lot. I hopped on the ATV and … Continue reading TS – 1 … Black Bear – 0
I had to be reminded…
…that green branches and fresh leaves play holy hell with small chippers & shredders. I blocked up the mechanism 3 times before I walked away from it in disgust (TS is more savvy than me about the unit… I end up jamming branches and stuff into the hopper… and look like Wile E. Coyote on … Continue reading I had to be reminded…
Tomorrow… we chip!
TS & I were able to get back into the zone while clearing the build-site. Yesterday, TS was able to rough-out the new ATV trail from the build-site to her soil-operation. Me? I just smashed and crashed my way hither-and-dither using our Polaris! I strung a trail-line from our starting point to the soil-operation. This … Continue reading Tomorrow… we chip!
Preparing to return…
...to the bush. I'm optimistic we learned a few lessons from our last session. We'll have to DIY our own bush-buggy-platform for the wood chipper. King City Trailers gave us good advice, had SOME stock, but couldn't sell us a ready-made option. Still, I'd recommend them to you. Meh... we're planning on pushing another ATV … Continue reading Preparing to return…
