    The Oak Monster

    Today I was cleaning up around the woodshed to move the splitter close to where I was stacking firewood. I had just dropped a bucket load of oak billets on the ground where I was going to set up and just started to grab the tongue of the splitter with the bucket when my doberman ran up and...

    So, what did you do today?

    95 degrees out today and I finally decided to dig up a 550 gallon diesel tank on one of my properties that I haven’t used since the late 1970’s. I dug a little ramp on one side but since it was tight against the foundation of one of the outbuildings a lot of hand shoveling was involved. It...

    I am curious?

    I follow the markets and watch financial news several hours a day. In the last months I have heard crypto-currencies explained by a dozen different economists and still don't really understand it completely. I do know that the IRS has ruled that bitcoins are property not currency and thus...
