[Buggs]

Damn, thats brutal

Having one pulled is bad enough, 12???? My mouth hurts just thinking about that!

[Buemaker]

Ouch and double ouch 12 teeth, cannot say I envy you.

[Pat B]

Sorry, Roy. That's gotta be painful.

[kennym]

Ya coulda just smarted off to Chris again...  Saved some money and made her day too!

Seriously, I hope you feel better quick!!

[Roy from Pa]

Thanks guys. I was glad to get rid of them, at 74 I didn't have many good teeth left..

They put me under so I didn't know a thing till I woke back up.

Put me on some heavy duty pain pills and penicillin pills.

Not much pain at all, just a little sore.

I already quit the pain pills, they made me so dizzy I could hardly walk and pain pills gets me climbing the walls.

All in all it wasn't bad at all.

Wouldn't have worked smarten off to Chris, Kenny. Last time I ended up wif a black eye cause she is Italian Irish:)

[Kirkll]

You are still waiting for your new choppers?  When i had my uppers done, they pulled the teeth and put the new dentures in place the same day...

I feel your pain brutha. That wasn't a good day in the neighborhood for me. But they gave me some GOOD pain killers. I can see how folks could get addicted to those high end opiates. Talk about feeling warm and fuzzy...
 
Hopefully you heal up as quickly as i did. Took about a week for me before i could eat solids again.   

[Roy from Pa]

Surgery was yesterday. Going in tonight to have new dentures fitted up.

[Pat B]

I can't take any kind of opiates, they make me sick as hell and I'd rather deal with the pain then to hurt and constantly throw up too. I had periodontal surgery back in 06 and that night I needed the pain pill but after that I couldn't deal with them.Thank goodness for Ibuprofen.  Five days later I was at 10,000' in the San Juan Mountains hiking down to 9,000' for a week long elk hunt.
 Roy, I hope your recovery is short and painless. Time to put on your snowshoes and head to the cabin for some R&R.

[Buggs]

You guys don't like pain killers??

Thanks Pat, would need more than snowshoes to get into camp now:)

Buggys Boy, you just hain't right:)

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

Don't like pain meds. Had a stint in the hospital last year and they tried to give me morphine...does not work on me in any form of a Safe level.


Waiting to get back in the shop and get back to making bows. Got a project in the shop that is done and waiting on its owner to come pick it up and I dare not even turn on anything that might create dust until he picks it up.

Got paid for a big job and so I had some funds.

New 31" sawmill is on the way!  Site work is almost done to set the saw mill. That and some Festool sanding and dust collection equipment!

[Buggs]

Hillbilly, you going to be milling logs?

[Roy from Pa]

Dang that's gonna be a big saw..
Ya gotta take pictures when ya have it setup.

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

Yes, going to be milling logs! Also going to build a solar Kiln. We are planning on building our house using as much lumber as we can from our property.  Got some barns to build as well.

[Mad Max]

How long does a solar kiln take to dry?

[4 point]

Took a couple more alfalfa bales in for the deer. It's been a rough winter already and it's just getting started. Probably 75% of the bucks have dropped horns. They saw the tractor coming and came running like cattle. They were on the bales already as I was driving away. I did find my biggest shed, just hoping he can make the winter. There was a alfalfa bale in the first pic, they didn't leave much.

How long does a solar kiln take to dry?

About a month for red oak as it is one you have to dry slower. Just a couple weeks for white pine and polar. Each species has a recommended drying rate. One thing about a solar kiln, is it supposedly conditions the wood a little better by going through a rest cycle each night.

Virginia Tech has an excellent article in one they designed along with plans. That will be what I am copying.  I will add a heater to use at the very end of the cycle to sanitize and kill bugs.

That's the plan anyway.

Good on you   I don't know how they survive at all out there where you are. Brutal cold most of the winter and not much cover or browse. Those are some tough critters. Glad your helping a little.
