TWISTEDWILLOW Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 Thomas, I believe that! Scrap yards I’ve seen are notoriously good at making unwanted materials disappear like gas, oil, antifreeze, an air conditioner fluids, to evade unwanted attention from the epa, I can’t imagine what curious ways they would have to dispose of a thief!

Frosty Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I asked about theft once and was told, disposing of trunk bodies in the crusher tends to leak. However the 3rd or 4th trunk into the shredder feeding the crusher spreads the juices so they don't show. Made me wonder just what's in my car's body or that new cast iron frying pan.

Maybe that's why your car is always breaking down or your frying pan burns no matter what. Water levels are dropping in lake mead....

Frosty Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 It's been years since we owned a vehicle that breaks down. It's cheaper to buy new than repair one, I sold my beloved Eagle Talon because an intake manifold cost almost as much to replace as the blue book said it was worth. Repaired it and sold it while it was still running well. <sigh> Burning frying pans! What the HECK are you seasoning them with? Frosty The Lucky.

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 Oh come on Jerry don’t everyone use white phosphorus to season their skillets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 No Billy, not everybody lives on Peavine, time, I can afford to do it on the stove. INDOORS! We can cook indoors without burning the place down. I just realized I forgot to answer one of your snail mail questions. We burn 7-10 cord of wood depending on the weather. I need to order this season's, they couldn't deliver in the spring when the mud was out of the ground, their construction Co. was Covid short handed. Frosty The Lucky.

Scott NC Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I find a cup brush on a grinder works well for removing all that stubborn black crud and then washing them with ajax and a brillow pad after each use keeps it under control.....

That’s a lot of firewood! I burn around 15-20 ricks of oak an hickory here every year, usually start a fire on a cool evening in the middle of October and then stop burning in March when the typhoon season starts an I have to take a boat to get to the wood pile, Scott, Ash bought these stonewear pots and pans last year that nothing sticks to! You can cook whatever you want in those things an just wipe em off with a paper towel an then quick wash em in some soapy water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Oh, I thought he was talking about cast iron... Actualy, I have a couple of those pans and they do work like a charm. I can still burn food in them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 We burn about a cord of wood in a bad year, but with the passive solar we could probably get through most years without a fire. I just like FIRE! (We even put in a propane kitchen range in place of the electric one...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I don't live in Canada Billy but we have the same kinds of stamps anybody can get in any post office in the USofA. We'd get by on less if we had oak, maple, hickory, etc. but we have birch and spruce so we burn more. If we compared dry weight it'd probably come out pretty close to the same. Frosty The Lucky.

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 I didn’t think about that but it makes sense, with hardwood bein heavier, Cause I think a Rick of wood is roughly only around a third of a cord, well I’m glad y’all got stamps readily available in Alaska! I was starting to wonder if you had to take bear pelts to a tradin post somewhere to purchase stamps an then wait for a sled dog team to import your stamps! Of course that’s about as fast as the USPS has been delivering letters I’ve mailed to people so far lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Ah HAHA HA! Never heard a dog sled joke before! Actually if you work the tides you can row an umiak to Seattle in about 2 weeks and there are post offices closer. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Welcome from the Ozark Mountains. Where might anywhere be? Did you read the whole thread, TW had several offers to buy that vise back in 2022. TWISTEDWILLOW has been pretty busy and doesn't sign in very often so it might get his attention to send him a PM. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
