awfully hard for kindling, unless you split it down to very skinny pieces I would think. Other than fencing or maybe snow poles hard to see a use for saplings. Maybe a baseball bat for someone strong enough to swing it. I made a cabinet out of wenge, which has a similar hardness, weight, and tendency to split and splinter. It came out well but not a pleasant experience, almost impossible to add and fine detail.
@Buster. My bad.
Really? For someone he likes on a personal level (but presumably does not have an outside of work relationship)? I for one would welcome a note on linkedin expressing condolences, what is the point of waiting? If the fired worker is pissed or not ready to respond they don't have to; that's the wonder of electronic messaging. After being cut-off/unceremoniously let go, I would think a friendly "hey, what happened, I went to reply to our thread and it was gone. I'm sorry." would be something anyone would be happy to receive.
Hmmmmmmm...... should I?
They say there are "perks" involved..... Just imagining the perks of having an athletic 18-24yo college student living with me for the summer.........:wink:

It should be noted that minor league baseball players are some of the vilest humans in existence.

Do it KQ, if you have room take in a couple. You don't have to go all Annie Savoy on them but it would really be worth the occasional TR.
Be amazing if one of them eventually winds up in MLB.
Played B-ball did ya?Quote:

Worse than horse people? Now that I don't know.
My grandfather owns a minor league team and I grew up in the clubhouse. Saw lots of things no child should see.
They aren’t terrible people like horse people. They are actually really good dudes for the most part, specially the latins. They are just disgusting.
Ohh, it is just wood bat league? I wouldn’t worry about it. They will all be pretty clean cut dudes.

Well not you, KQ. Surely you know the type. Ya know, like the ones that try to drug our horses before shows without our knowledge and other good fun like that.

Don't take any tobacco chewers KQ.
You'd think so with that large build but no, he was a Thoroughbred out of the great racehorse Damascus (#16 of the top 100 racehorses of the 20th century). He was a once in a lifetime horse. Won a lot of blue ribbons with him.
IMO there is no horse more beautiful and elegant than a Thoroughbred (my Appy is cute and I love him but he's no Thoroughbred).

Oh come on man! You've got equines in your family. How about this - a little racier (pun intended)

My Grand dad and Dad were Farriers, standardbred race horses (Trotters and Pacers) and I grew up around a race track scene on Long Island (RIP Roosevelt Raceway). It was like working at a Carnival with freaks, geeks and all manner of sketchy people.
He got the idea that shoeing show horses would be more lucrative and we would hang with a better crowd. Turns out they were just as bad although some of the daughters were pretty freaky in a good way.
@KQ: Definitely better. Cool video.
Cool!
Horse shoeing show horses can be lucrative but it's back breaking work. We used to joke our horses wore Ferragamos. Back in the 90s we paid as much as $400 a set (every 5 weeks). Can't imagine what it costs now (my horses are all barefoot so I only pay for trimming which is nothing).
Here in W2 we used to have the only farrier school in the nation at our CC. People came from as far as South Africa to take the course. They closed it down last year due to budget cuts (really it was budget mismanagement on the part of the board).
My grandfather raised and trained Thoroughbred horses. He was a true Irishman. Loved those beasts. It's a brutal sport for the horses and owners/trainers rarely come out ahead but man is it something to watch.
Freezer burn. Garage beer fridge freezer is icing things up at an amazing pace. Any tricks that help hinder the ice production on the foodz?
Do you like space gladiator movies?

What's the best way to attach mylar film to a house with 40 year old, well maintained (painted) vertically lapped cedar siding?
Try staple?
No, this is not upstate.
Using staples had crossed my mind, but given the flimsiness of the mylar, I'm worried about tearing.
So staples combined with cardboard or a thin plastic might work.
For the ongiong seasonal application, I was thinking of hammering in some nails from which I could hang clamps that could hold the mylar. That makes it easier to remove at summers end. Even upstate.
I hear it's almost tarp season in the Upstate.
Velcro tape?
