Western White Pine

[BobSmalser]

Taking a break today from digging an unpleasantly large foundation hole (70, 10-yd loads?) to mill up all the Western White Pine on hand before the warm weather facilitates Blue Mold. The fir and cedar will keep.

Same properties as Eastern White Pine

Rub it in why don't ya :evil:

I'm back in the office tonight from 7pm to 10pm, just finishing my final project for my college course this year.

I'm looking at the finished product, best work of fictional data I've ever produced

From next week its BOAT WORK AGAIN

YIIIIIIPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEE :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:

With any luck I'll be in the water by July.

(That's if we don't buy the house we looked at today - although since I seem to be running a ratio of 1 house that Irene likes to every 10 we look at, and she likes this one - I may feel it would be worth it.)

Bob,

I hate being teased like this. You know how we all lust after good woods, and now I must clean the slobber off the keyboard...

Bob, Your comment (Hope y'all have a nice day in the office) made me think of the Australian poem.

Clancy Of The Overflow

by Andrew Barton 'Banjo' Patterson (1864 - 1941)

I had written him a letter which I had, for want of better

Knowledge, sent to where I met him down the Lachlan, years ago,

He was shearing when I knew him, so I sent the letter to him,

Just

Love the poem.

Nice work Bob. But sooooo sorry, don't do offices. I do get to see dolphins, ospreys, and an occasional fish at the end of my fishing pole, if the weather is right, mostly six days a week here, where the sunshines six months a year, while it almost raining in your area. Cedar and white pine has been my latest diet of material, all dried and stacked for the up and coming fall project, of course after trout seaon. Later.

Thanks bob for adding a little reality to the idylic life.

When it's blowing a gale from the east, and it's cold, wet, and miserable, I'm glad of my nice warm cosy office, with all my nice office mates. Where I can come in at any time up to 10am, and leave after 4:30 pm (not 4am like yourself :wink: )

And when the sun shines, I can take a few (paid) days off to ramble around in the woods, go walking, boating and other pleasurable activities.

Far away hills are always green
