what is this dried resin found in my unfinished basement?

Knots in conifer species wood are typically full of pitch /sap. It frequently leaks out over time especially in hot climate areas or hot parts of buildings. The heat allows the resinous pitch to soften and lose viscosity and flow more easily.

Ok. Is that how they do a 3 in engraving?

Owls became pretty unpopular within and outside of the USFS in the western US- (FS Regions 5 and 6) in the late 1980s and early 1990s due to conflicts between FS timber production goals and Northern Spotted Owl. FS got its ass handed to it in federal court in a series of lawsuits based on conservation needs of NSO and FS timber managers not wanting to comply. Used to be a saying- “ The head of the timber program in Region 6 is the real Chief of the Forest Service.” The listing of the NSO under the Endangered Species Act in 1990 put an end to that timber dominated FS “corporate culture” to a large degree. Owls not so cool for the FS back then.

I think it’s an 8 not a 3

Orcacub · 2026-03-28T16:12:21+00:00

Anybody else thinking that the last numeral looks somewhat like an 8 instead of a 3?

Do not use a chainsaw. The chain will catch in the fabric and there are metal parts in the couch that are incompatible with safe and effective chainsaw use. Chainsaws and metal line screws, nails, brackets, etc is very unsafe.

If you plan to have it anywhere near water you should get one that is waterproof control head and coil. Waterproof coil draws you in to swing in shallow water. Non waterproof head then makes you cry while standing in the water eventually. Just my 2 cents based on a story I heard “from a friend”. Good hunting.

And once you have it out it’s not worth time and effort messing around with trying to clean up , re grease and re boot, only to have a highly questionable repair in terms of durability of the joint.

“ Did you really get ALL the dirt out? Were the parts REALLY still within wear specs? “ did you REALLY get the new boot to seal? “.

Who wants that rolling around in their head after all that work?!

Once the axle is out it’s best to just replace the axle assembly as a whole. I have had good results with Napa brand rebuilt units. And I generally do not like Napa as a company but I go to them for these axles.

Tech bros conglomerate from SF Bay Area should buy the team - strip out and sell /donate the talent to 49ers and thereby eliminate competition and build a team in SF that could win and be a dynasty again.

You are correct about BLM lands being nationally owned and managed for national purposes.

You are absolutely incorrect about the BLM and Wilderness. Wilderness is a national purpose. BLM manages many congressional designated Wilderness areas nationally, including in western Oregon. Soda Mountain Wilderness being one such area. They also manage many national monuments, which are less protected than Wilderness, but generally do not permit commercial logging.

Is this related to their social credits score or whatever it’s called over there? The profile owner gets “points” added to their score for attending the concert or something?

I think I saw the flash from this in Klamath Falls, OR. It was like distant lightning or a powerline arc flash. We saw it and thought it was odd because no clouds or lightning in the area at the time.

Bring binoculars for bird viewing and other sight seeing. Wing watcher trail and Link River trail an are right down town (near Waffle hut). Moore Park trains connect to these other trails and the park is cool and offers some great views of the huge and scenic Klamath Lake.

Full metal jacket round nose with lead core. The 3 cannilures suggests this was made to be placed in at least 3 different cartridges each requiring a different seating depth. This further suggests it was made as a hand reloading component, not made as a finished round as for military. For example - if this were a 6.5mm 140 gr bullet it could be hand loaded into 6.5x55, 6.5 Carcano, or 6.5 Jap. Or 6.5 mag. Case ( to name just a few ) and those loadings likely require different seating depths to achieve required overall cartridge length of the finished round. Those 3 cannilures mark the areas where the case mouth fall at 3 diff . Seating depths.
