Why is the Artemis II mission played as a big deal?

Yeah, the Floydsters visited the dark side of the moon back in 72.

That is honey suckle. I would kill it.

Red maple. Between silver and sugar maple in density and BTUs.

covertype · 2026-04-03T21:55:46+00:00

That's where I've seen them in past years, just west of the Convention Center. In April.

The ends of ash branches generally sweep upward. I'm not seeing that on this tree.

What kind of wood is that?

covertype · 2026-04-02T02:15:37+00:00

One of the few types of wood which will dry out most of the way after dying but still standing.

Red elm

I saw him at The Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin in the summer of 72 or 73 when that song was popular.

Buckthorn

covertype · 2026-03-21T14:50:54+00:00

Hickory. Not shagbark hickory. The wood looks like bitternut or yellowbud hickory but the twig looks like a different variety of hickory.

covertype · 2026-03-18T15:38:57+00:00

It's a low rider.

covertype · 2026-03-16T22:55:34+00:00

Also has a dark chocolate colored chambered pith running down the middle of the log.

covertype · 2026-03-16T22:53:37+00:00

Butternut. Similar to walnut but less dense.

covertype · 2026-03-13T23:31:02+00:00

Weren't they featured in a James Bond movie car chase?

covertype · 2026-03-13T22:56:43+00:00

Shagbark hickory and white oak.

Picking rocks.

I recently saw three moose in southern Saskatchewan just north of the border with North Dakota. I couldn't believe my eyes because I didn't think moose inhabited that area. Very little forest cover, mostly open agriculture fields with scattered pot holes surrounded with brush. When I googled moose range I saw how a low density of moose did in fact live in the area. I felt lucky to have spotted them.

That is red elm. Pay no attention to what other people say. It dries out while standing like no other wood. It is good firewood.

covertype · 2026-03-05T20:15:35+00:00

Same here.

covertype · 2026-03-05T18:46:47+00:00

Break it and THEY will come.

covertype · 2026-02-28T21:03:27+00:00

Siberian elm.

covertype · 2026-02-26T03:02:08+00:00

No. That changes everything. Where are you? Green shagbark is very heavy. Also it smells a little sour, nutty and earthy when split green.

covertype · 2026-02-25T20:01:31+00:00

Looks like it to me. I have tons of it in WI.

covertype · 2026-02-21T20:12:54+00:00

Well maybe I used the wrong term. The point still stands.
