    Wife and kids left for the beach around noon. Just had 1/2 of a large pepperoni pizza. Tried to play golf this afternoon, Mother Nature denied me. Me and the pups till Saturday evening, gonna be miserable
    Window of opportunity for you and the pups now.  Go forth and enjoy.  No other adult supervision/critiques on the horizon.

    Tried a few dabs - no heat, wondered if bottle was bad.  Ate half a tablespoon plain.  Mistakes were made, It builds very slowly and doesn’t really stop building.  Whoa.  Beautiful burn, try not to move your mouth.

    Apparently it was 95mph straight line winds that caused the tree damage and power outage on Saturday afternoon.

    We get a lot of Derecho’s here. There is a shift more to the east for the extreme weather these days.

    That is scary you get winds that high.  I imagine they can do a lot of damage.

    It’s definitely no fun sitting through a storm with your butt puckered up hoping a tree doesn’t fall on the house. Friends who visit from out West are amazed at the dense forests that are around here.

    And I was amazed when I went out west that you cant find a good bundle of firewood for sale to save your life!  Also, most areas had burn bans.

    about 15 years ago i seen my first micro down burst flatten down a barn in mere seconds, since then ive been near several. scary as hell with all the big dense maine forests up here. its like god touched the tree with his finger and poof its gone. one hit a campground down the street during the summer a few years back, it was extremely bad. they say they cant link it to climate change, but......

    I think every state park or public camping place sells the same **** pine bundles. Either you get properly cured pine that burns like the sun for 15 minutes, or you get still wet pine that is hard to light but lasts for hours pushing nasty smoke.

    They also don't let you or want you to bring your own wood as it can spread those immigrant tree eatin' pests like beetles.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    It's a very real problem, visible around here. That being said, beetle kill pine is beautiful in furniture or on walls.

    Same here due to the Emerald Ash Borer which has destroyed most Ash trees. I’ve had 7 removed over the past 3 years

    I have had a good bit of free time since I finished the boat. I have started back with my poems and and songwriting. I’m currently working on one inspired by all of butt kicking Trump has handed out as of late. It’s titled “Imagine what Trump could do to you”. Keep your eye out for it. It’s coming soon my shy friends 😊
    Congrats on Miss Marguerite and all that she means to you. 

    Is your song set to the music of John Lennon’s “Imagine”?

    Many thanks my friend. As to the song, it’s sang to the pace and tempo of something like Rock and Roll All Night. Of course the words are totally different.

    The last band I was in did this song, as a ballad.  It was hilarious, the dance floor filled up with slow dancers, but as the song went on we could see them look up at us, one by one, with a curious look on their face, "I know this, but WTF??  Who is this?!?"  Great fun!

    I recall that the Emerald Ash Borer (arrived here in MI around 2000-2002 via a Great Lakes steamer from China) is the lead bug in the restriction regarding firewood transport.  The ash tree forest devastation it has done is incredible.  No native predators and no effective solution to stop its romp across the Northeast even now.

    Out here, you can get some sort of a treatment applied periodically that stops the borer. If you halt the treatment the bugs resume. Might be worth considering a replacement tree if there is a suitable one that you can plant, depending on how many ash trees you have, how important they are to you, and the local cost of the treatment. An HOA that I know of decided that the treatment was the way to go rather than replacement, but you might come up with a different decision.
    An arborist can advise you.
