Last spring's bear damage now repaired with mismatched wood and an overuse of decking screws.

Nice ash snapped in half. Trunk was very straight and uniform. Should split just by showing it the axe.

They are already checking out the real estate. A friend did an experiment where he painted a 2" black dot on a small board and set it out on a tree. Bluebirds came to visit it multiple times but couldn't figure out how to get in no matter how much they tried. So they really key in on the circle of the doorway.
Feng shui in the forest.
I started seasoning my "cowboy hat" last summer. It just gets better.
So now I'm thinking about the Road Runner and Wiley Coyote

Took the kids up to the high school track today to wear them out.
I have three colors of this exact sneaker and am not apologizing.

Not super complicated, but lock up a wheel bearing and wreck a town.
I've changed out wheels where the bearing got so hot that the outer race was split open and fused to the adapter and the rollers were falling out.
And before roller bearings they were babbitt bearings topped with brass. The thieves would hit a cut of cars sitting on a siding and with makeshift levers lift the bearing box enough to knock the brass bearing out with a bar. The good ones could get a string on cars and if the cars were moved every wheel needed changing. They got hot fast. Moved far enough and the axle end, where the bearing was supposed to be , would wear away till it was gone.
