I saw a boat floating down the lake this morning.... upside down. I hope whomever lost it finds it on shore.
I didn't think of that. I hope that's not the case. It wouldn't take more than a couple minutes in the lake to make it your last swim at this time of the year. I figured with the high water, somebody didn't pull their boat up far enough this fall. It looked like the standard rowboat so it should have been hard to flip.On a slightly happier note, I scored about half the firewood I'll need for next winter today. Fo Free! Half hard maple and half what the guy said was coffee tree. It's light like pine so I don't have any hopes for high btu, but it'll burn and heat the cabin! It's been sitting cut, split and stacked for years and is nice and dry.
It could be cotton wood ( aspen ) . If so , it's not even worth the effort . I had a bunch , yes it smells like coffee when burned but retains moisture with very little btu.Good luck
Man, I wish I could get Hickory up here, both for my wood stove and my smoker! Last summer a logger I know was cutting somewhere east of Saratoga and he brought me a pickup load of hickory for the smoker, I traded him some smoked ribs, he liked that deal!
I was up in the village last week and they have a bait shop again! It's been years since I saw one up there!
