I actually poured water on it this morning to not bother the workers up on my roof today with smoke, but It didn't go completely out.
I was finally able to budge the big piece and moved it around closer to the trunk roots. Tomorrow I may put it inside the trunk hole.
I'm burning up some scrap wood left over from my roofing job.
good progress

And this is a lot more fun than watching my capacitor not discharge.

I enjoyed watching my new roof go on.... finished yesterday afternoon. Much cooler than the black asphalt shingles, and no mo leaks. That roof will easily outlive me...mediatechnology wrote: ↑Fri Aug 24, 2018 7:24 pmI was just about to say the same thing.good progress

Re: Entropy
Maybe throw in a baked potato?
Great progress.
I'm getting inspired to do some cooking in the Dutch Oven once fall arrives.
My Dad taught me how to do pineapple upside down cake and its been awhile since I made one.

Re: Entropy
about a week and a half ago I shot my third squirrel (they eat my pecans). I was burning limbs over on my regular burn pile them so I put the squirrel on the fire... a lot cleaner disposal than the first two squirrels I killed that really stunk up my garbage after only a few days.
It will slow down from here...I am already grabbing dead tree limbs from my neighbor's pile to burn, but that's a win-win for both of us.Great progress.
Just do it.I'm getting inspired to do some cooking in the Dutch Oven once fall arrives.

I am thinking of buying a paving stone to use as a pizza stone to hold heat in my oven... My pizza already rocks, but a heavy pizza stone could make it betta.

Re: Entropy
Well I wasn't going to bring up the huge dead Racoon that wound up in my neighbors yard Friday. But after the squirrel story...about a week and a half ago I shot my third squirrel (they eat my pecans). I was burning limbs over on my regular burn pile them so I put the squirrel on the fire... a lot cleaner disposal than the first two squirrels I killed that really stunk up my garbage after only a few days.
This guy was huge so whatever bit him on the butt must have been bigger either a large dog or Coyote.
If you call Dallas 311 for a dead animal pickup its usually within a few hours but the "service guarantee" is 3 days.
It was close to 100 F.
Fortunately our trash pickup had been late that day so given the choice of slow-roasting this guy on the curb or putting him the trash I leaned towards trash.
Our Friday pickup came Saturday morning.
Fortunately he was in my neighbors roll cart and not mine.
I'm physically about 5 miles from downtown Dallas but culturally and "geographically" we're in the country about 50 miles outta town.
We have lots of wild critters.
Folks in North Dallas are shocked when they come here and see how different it is from their flat treeless, concrete plain.
Re: Entropy
We are getting our new puppy Hank (Williams) on Thursday. My GF in flying down and back to Greensboro NC to get him. The best Rat Terriers come from the Southern Appalachians. They are used for squirrel hunting and feist competitions. The UKC has feist treeing competitions. I looked at breeders in the north east but the dogs just didn't look as good. There is a breeder north west of the Adirondacks near Fort Drum but I just couldn't do it. His mother is one of the finest Rat Terriers I've seen. His father is no slouch either.

Re: Entropy
about time to stick a fork in this... I still have some major roots to deal with.
