Re: MISC For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.
There was a long article about the advantages of the 20 speed over the 18 speed but I won't try to explain.You're welcome.

Re: MISC For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.
The country is crawling with 4 door pickups, popular in the suburbs to take the whole family to the mall, beach, or garden center.
But many are used by tradesmen with the back seat kind of wasted space and detritus collector.
Someone has invented a tool box to fit that space, but since the rear doors don't open 90 degrees the drawers must curve.
I didn't see a video, just a series of stills showing him opening that drawer with a lot of heavy tools and a couple closing it.
Closing he uses two hands, not for pushing power but one hand on each side like he was trying to lift, align, and jiggle it back in.
I'm sure all that weight puts severe stress on that drawer and the box.

Re: MISC For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.
By the look of the blue parking space lines I'd assume it's a commercial parking lot for businesses.
I'd guess this is the lead in/sidewalk to an automotive business.
But notice each head has two ports, two short pipes, sticking up at the edge.
Even if it's not supposed to be a walkway, like a swimming pool it's an "attractive nuisance".
I picture the business's insurance agent in histrionics and about to have a heart attack.

That's Sam Talarico, owner operator of the most bodacious exotic wood supply company.

His pictures look like he's a real trip and 3foot verified it's a cool place.

Re: MISC For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.
Threads like this make me think I should go out and plant a bunch of black cherry whips and other nice specimens. I know it's anti-american to plan for the next generation, but we should have tree farms of nice hardwoods all over the east coast. It's almost criminal that nobody planted huge farms of cherry back in the 90s when the price started rising and it was obvious how rare it was becoming, What are the national forests used for anyway?

Re: MISC For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.
Black Cherry is usually one of the early colonizers of fallow farmland here. Sometimes letting nature take it's course is all that's required.That being said let's plant some trees!
I usually get some trees in the Spring from the conservation district for a really good price. If you have any property, get on their mailing list. Porcupines are eating a lot of my little trees but my hickories are finally taking off. It's a good year to collect nuts for planting as oak and hickory both had bumper crops.
I'm on a mailing list up North with ESF for Transgenic Chestnut seedlings. Apparently, I'll need to plant from survivor stock to promote diversity and then they supply resistant trees for pollination once they get regulatory approval. That is a very long term project for Americans.

Re: MISC For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.
My Dad did something like that in the late '70s thru the USDA he got a bunch of Russian Olive Seedlings, then no rain for six months they died.

Interesting that you are having a big acorn mast. We are too, 3000 miles west.
Most of mine are California White Oak, with a low enough tannin level to leach easily and make some good snacks.

Re: MISC For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.
I've been on an American Chestnut kick lately. I finally finished a coffee table I was making for my daughter, and the top was almost certainly American Chestnut. I scavenged it from a broken up antique dresser a neighbor put on the curb. Came out nice.

Re: MISC For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.
1942, war materiel were a big deal, and copper was high on the list.
This Anaconda smelter was state of the art with things like a machine that grabbed railroad cars full of ore and turned the upside down, then set them back on the tracks. Badda Bing, Badda Boom, keep it moving.
