Tuesday Torque: Lobster Fishing In Norway

 The Solfrid is 1924 vintage. The Brunvoll hot-bulb Diesel is from 1957. They work well together. Many Thanks, Merle, for spotting this great video!

Don't Lie Around...

 Get up and go!

Back To The Old Grind!

Pruning Walnuts (And Other Trees, Too!)

 Prioritize your cuts and make them right. Will the tree be merchantable as is, or if you prune it? Can you make the tree produce more merchantable volume? Can you improve the value of the wood? Let the answers guide you as you prune.

Pipeliner Fly-By

 The pipeliner flies by about once a week, looking for problems along the petroleum pipeline that goes through our timber. In the rare event that we would have equipment on or near the line, we call the operator so they can inform the pilot, rather than trigger alarm bells. We always enjoy seeing him go over.

Waiting To Pounce!

 Something is always out to get you, even in the relative safety of your back yard. Keep an eye out for hazards!

Remember The Guy Using A Stick And His Flipped Cart...

 ...to start his little Diesel engine? He now has an upgrade to his starting system!

The Story Of The Chestnut

Tuesday Torque: Midwest Old Threshers Parade Of Tractors

 Merle picked out a short by Someplace or Another of the LaCrosse Rein Drive Tractor at Mt. Pleasant. I have admired this little mechanical wonder since I was a kid. I looked up the long version, and you can see the LaCrosse at the 8:00 minute mark. Thank You, Merle!

Enjoy Spring!

 Down in the twenties tonight, so unhook your garden hose! Admire the flowers while we have them!
