It's not really of interest either, however I'm glad you are enjoying yourself!<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-84757243560167839832015-07-14T09:06:58.075-04:002015-07-14T09:06:58.075-04:00Jeff,

Your comment was much appreciated all the same.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-23867126510219967722015-07-14T01:12:17.368-04:002015-07-14T01:12:17.368-04:00Ever tried sawing your own lumber with maebiki-oga...Ever tried sawing your own lumber with maebiki-oga? Its slow, but beats the hell out of running a chain saw mill any day. Besides, what is slow? You get the chance to read the tree, know the boards as they are cut, know each knot as the saw goes through it. Definitely worth it if you get the chance to own one. There is a great deal of standing dead beetle kill where I live in Colorado, I have the chance to mill really beautiful local lumber that would go to waste otherwise. Nothing huge in size, but challenging none the less with kobiki tools.Gabe D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05809883477919665827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-18030263834070872122010-01-02T21:23:44.873-05:002010-01-02T21:23:44.873-05:00Chris
I stumbled on your blog from Alex Gilmore...Chris<br />I stumbled on your blog from Alex Gilmore's site and greatly enjoy the vigor you've put into your posts.<br />This post makes me think of some of the things I've read in the past about , say, the last of the mastodons on far northern russian islands. Being stranded there by climate change they changed from "Gigantism" to whats termed "Island Dwarfism". Basically to survive the species gets smaller to cope with decreasing habitat. Today thats happening with some species of fish that are being over harvested, and as result reproduce sooner and dont grow as big ( slip through nets). There was even a photo study of 20 century sport fishing showing the shrinking size of regular catch.<br />I've become a fan of the free TEDtalks videos to keep up with "whats happening". Apparently we only had 1 Billion people circa 1900 and are looking at 9 Billion some time this century. So Island dwarfism might need to get renamed Global dwarfism.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />jeff stafford<br />heffesan@comcast.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
