I soaked beans for 15 bean soup that I’ll make this week.
Great minds???

This is the stuffed toy version of the stomach yuck....just for you Greylag.....hahaha

I also have cold flu ear ache sore throat and cough if anyone interested

I hate it you already found achey glands with an ear ache stuff.
My ear I had Tympanoplasty on is got liquid on it already. Not enough to make me dizzy when I turn my head, but if I lay my left ear on the pillow I cannot hear the TV with my right anymore. Its winter as far as I am concerned. This will pass when Spring is near.
Wish I had a remedy for you. I like big bowls of Pho when I get where you are. Runny Mac n Cheese, salty ham. Mac because I like it. Ham because it makes me drink a lot more water.
 
 
Home. Tired. Bean soup - however many there are/were - was damn good.


TDK climbed the curtains before I went out this morning. I have replaced the old bent curtain rods with pieces of rebar. They will hold a kitten and then some. I should beat her, but I took pictures instead.


Dr. Tyler is moved. Back to work tomorrow.

PSA to all cooks
When storing leftover soup containing barley, strain the broth and store separately.
Otherwise the barley will bloat while sucking up all or most of the broth leaving a gluten-laden slimy mess behind. 🤢 Yuck!

Thankfully I didn't have much leftover last night. Small batch soup.

I have another small batch starting as I type.
Mmm, soup!

I always just add more water!

Painting the ends helps. Left over latex paint from house projects is what I use. I'll even paint the logs before they're sawn. The idea is to seal the ends to slow down water loss from that open grain. If you think about it, wood shrinks when it dries. The end grain dries faster, so shrinks faster. It's forced to split due to that. Some woods are worse than others.

Red oak is horrible. It can move 1/4" per foot even seasonally due to humidity changes in a house, so imagine wet to dry. That one is best to dry slow.

Thanks for the info! I’m sure this will be some trial and error. I’m starting with the cherry and measuring the moisture content currently. It’s still pretty high at 45%. I have read that getting down to the 10% range is ideal. It takes an average of one year per thickness of the board. Waiting three years is not my plan!

I’m definitely going to paint the ends. I’m going on the lower end of the range - it says that I should use 600 to 900 CFM.

I bought three exhaust fans that do a little bit over 300 CFM each. They’re all variable speed so I can play around a little bit.

It will be an interesting science project.

And if this works really well, we have a metric fuck ton of black walnut trees. They are somewhat invasive.

Anyway, we’ll see how it goes and if nothing else will have a good kiln for drying firewood.

Red oak makes excellent firewood, but it does take a year and a half to season… or season and a half. A big tree came down last winter and I split it this spring and it won’t be ready till the fall of 26.

Long weekend during which I have picked up a stomach bug doing the rounds. I won’t give TMI but needless to say I have gone through a lot of Tissue.

It was Remembrance Sunday so two services to manage. The weather was horrendous in the morning but we got through it. The sunset service was moving as ever as our lone piper played at our beacon. Unfortunately, can’t upload a video here due to size.

We had a wonderful sunset tonight to lift my spirits.

Love that.

Remembrance Day in England and Canada is much more like our memorial Day.

Sorry that you got sick though. Hopefully you’re on the mend very soon.
 
 
Today was pretty slow. Lots of people making it a four-day weekend and taking off today.

So I got a lot of shit done.

Till I couldn’t. We had no Internet this morning, so I used my phone as a hotspot. Till that didn’t work either. The power went on and off a number of times this morning.

I am off tomorrow, so I’m going to finish walling off my kiln. I think it’s gonna be too cold to paint, but that’s my next step.

I also need to look at the carburetor of my snowblower. It wouldn’t start and I forgot to put fuel stabilizer in in the spring. So I’m guessing I will be taking that apart tomorrow.

Usually, I joke that when my snowblower starts right up in November, it will be a light snow year. Does this mean that it will be a heavy snow year?

Tune in over the next four or five months to find out.

I'm assuming your cherry is black cherry like we have around here. My recollection is that it is not particularly prone to checking. None of what I have, or recall seeing has checked badly. Even the 3" thick stuff. In any case, it certainly won't hurt to paint it.

If you're doing oak, painting it will help. Most of the oak we cut is 4/4, and in those thicknesses air drying doesn't seem to be horrible. If you're cutting 8/4 or more, and using a kiln you might want to slow the process down as much as possible.

Also, I prefer cutting oak 1/4 sawn. Maybe some rift sawn for cabinet stiles and rails (where you can orient the grain edges so the stiles and rails appear to have fine grain everywhere.) The 1/4 sawn is a lot more stable. And the rays in the wood look amazing too.

I don't know how long you cut your logs. We tend to cut 8'8", leaving 4" per end for trimming for standard 8' lengths. In almost everything the checking will clean up.

It's been a while since I've done a lot of sawing, hope to change that next summer. Have a few projects planned.

Time to wind down here. Goodnight everyone.
