The heck with all that snow......We got mud here...plenty of it....

Tamarack I've never even heard of....Orange groves I've seen...Around these parts we burn hardwoods only....mostly Oak...I've got a fire barrel built so you can access the coals with a shovel for cooking...my friend has it now and will be cooking a pig Saturday...I've often seen where wood from fruit trees was used when cooking so I'm going out on a limb and guessing they're mostly all hardwoods...We sometimes use Pecan tree limbs here as well...

Aunt & Uncle are having a 65th wedding anniversary party Saturday as well...Got my ears lowered and ordered a couple new pairs of skids{shoes} today...Was gonna order up a shirt but only had 140 on my card....I saw dress shirts for 80/160 and on up to 700 bucks,,,Yeah one shirt 700...I was dang squirming when a new Marshall Amps thermal was 40...I like it though....

Best news of the day....The shop floor is dry as a bone....Now maybe by middle Spring we can have a new metal roof....and hopefully won't have to replace any of the ceiling

Tamarack (Larix laricina)
Other names: Eastern Larch

Burn't apple, pear, fir, ash, maple, oak, and a few more but nothing compares for a nice colorful and crackling fire like Tamarack.

I'm up but so far it's not good....

I see now 5....Closest we have to Tamarack is Southern Yellow Pine...It burns fast and hot but due too the heavy turpentine content cannot be burned where a chimney or flue is used...not unless you plan on an insurance claim...When a Southern Yellow Pine dies the turpentine settles in the stump. That is the source of our kindling....we call it "Fat Lightard"....I've got a big pile of lightard stumps sitting in the yard's edge....

Gotta drive Mom too the dentist at 1....Off too the farm store afterwards...

I often think I need a cat....

So have ya'll seen the dog tv channel??? I clicked on the watch it now the other night...Spike turned into Ric Flair on a mission lickity split,,,,No dog tv for Spike

Haven't heard of the dog tv channel, I'll have to check it out. Chase goes nuts barking when he hears a dog bark on tv...or a doorbell.

I used to use the pine lightards when I heated with a wood stove.

I always complain about living in town, but today was the rare exception. Thought I had fresh batts in my APV, about half way to the grocery it pooped the bed. No vape until I got back home to swap the batts :oops:

I am way out of town, Bov. I learned the hard way to always check my batteries before leaving my house. ;) Most times, I will change them whether they need it or not just to be safe.

LD, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the pine that 5C posted. Not good for a chimney at all in these parts.
