Well, GM has decided to discontinue the 350. It’s a shame. It’s a good engine. There’s also about 10 left in Raleigh, and I’m getting mine. As I haven’t written anything interesting of late, I can only say that when my truck is broke, I get very antsy.

I got my first issue of the Forest Products Journal today. In addition, I got my membership information for the Forest Products Society. I am now a member, and I can search the database. I’m a very happy little wood fellow. Ah, the joy of peer reviewed research, all at my fingertips. This month’s journal [...]

Stoney from Rebel Yell has mentioned the vile and detestable DOT and their imminent domain powers. Now, granted, I’m a teensy bit upset that the two bit despots are going to take my yard, but it does seem like they do manage to have all manner of scandals. Just a few years ago, they got [...]
