Rocky Mountain Blue | The Boneyard

Rocky Mountain Blue

We can only hope it's only a bump in the road and not a "Don't Look Up" thing.

I would like to think he is chopping wood for the winter, and will rejoin us lazy posters soon. :)

Yea isn't this the time of year he takes an annual pilgrimage to some national park to take pictures of critters and such?

I am not sure about the annual pilgrimage. He lives in Big Sky Country, which is full of critters and such. I just know that snowfall in his area is measured in Hartley Units, not inches as it is here. Hence the need for chopping wood. :rolleyes:
 
His legs were giving him trouble when his daughter got married. Hopefully he is okay.

Speak for thy own. My cutting and stacking was done 3 weeks ago. I have enough left over to help Montana a bit. Now I have two huge piles of small limbs and brush to burn next spring

Showoff! I'm hoping things calm down enough to get another half-cord done this weekend. I have enough volume for the winter, but there's a disproportionate amount of poplar, so I'd like to get 1.5 cords total of oak, but only have about 0.75.

Hubs has enough for most of the state of CT...the man has a hoarding issue when it comes to firewood.

I know many families in Connedticut that cut many cords of fire wood this spring and summer the cost of fuel oil is nuts Also know of hundrereds, maybe many thousands of familes in Virginia doing the same--the heat pumps just don't cut it in late Dec, jan, feb
 
Seriously though, has anyone heard from @RockyMTblue2 ? I am now officially worried...Rock shoot me/any of us a note to let us know you’re ok!

For the uninitiated-like me How much wood is in a cord? A picture would be very helpful.
 
I'm guessing since this thread derailed that the concern is gone? Has RMT checked in? I find it strange that such an uber-poster would vanish.

A cord is 4' by 4' by 8'. It's a volume measurement - not weight. Hence a cord of oak has a lot more heat than a cord of poplar. (A ton of poplar will have slightly more heat than a ton of oak)

No, the concern isn't over. Not a bit.

In addition to being a prolific poster Rocky brought a lot of interesting information to the BY. Here’s hoping he’s just taking some time off following the knee surgery that he had planned following his daughter’s wedding.

Rock man and I spoke quite a bit the last month about things, none of which I will reveal here. I will say though our communication stopped on Oct 8 and I haven't heard from him since. My antennae are up so....

May I ask, is it harder to hoard cats or to herd them? I believe either one would be dstracting.
Expand ...
It's easy to do both. Want to hoard them? Just keep taking in strays. What to herd them? Just open up a can of cat food. Breaking that initial seal will get them all to come running.

About 5 years ago, when we were going through a period of "squabbling" on the Boneyard, I made this version of the cat herding commercial.




But, back to the Op, I wish that someone knew how to contact Rocky. I'm feeling uneasy.

Just to add to this discussion I had a cat that was a herder. Anytime too many wild turkeys would invade her territory she would round them up and herd them into the woods. The turkeys were considerably larger than she was and it really was quite entertaining to see her do this.

Lol. I agree, cats are entertaining.

I once saw one of my parent's cats take down a juvenile turkey. It had it briefly, then the turkey got away. It's probably a good thing, because there were adult turkeys nearby. I'm fairly sure a full grown turkey could kill a domestic cat if it set its mind to it.

Maybe. But I've seen NYC cats that chase and kill squirrels. The turkey might win but it would be good for nothing, not even a pot, ever after.
