Hate to see it.

I feel for Mike judge, 0 for 8 with a walk and seven strikeouts. At least he has the 52 home runs and Family Guy to look back on.

Shame about the Yankees today. They played such a great game.

This line is so fine I may ask it on  date

Foliage is unreal against the gray backdrop.

So much for the dry morning.

Mesos ripping 50 + gusts river east and north 

Also considered a Wind Advisory for the Cape and islands, as
well as Cape Ann. Just did not have the confidence to issue one
at this time. Thinking it is more likely wind gusts stay just
under the threshold for one. The next shift will need to monitor
this potential as well.

Sure pretty in the woods today.

I think SE CT through RI and far SE MA stand a chance for some 45-55 mph gusts and then coastal Maine. The rain (totals) signal definitely increased the past 12-hours...but looking back I think the signals were slowly pointing to this happening

Let's rock it. I could use the help.

The rain will definitely cause some leaf shedding but there should still be decent foliage this weekend and next week in most of SNE. 

It won't have the same look. The standalone beauties will be shredded.

Our annual flooding October rainstorm. Seems we get one every year. 

Say goodbye to foliage and welcome to stick season!

It’s gon rain. 

Hopefully it clears out quickly on Friday. Rain sucks...

It can also be a very dangerous type of tree to fell. While all trees will barber pole with enough lean , you see it a lot more in locust. Since the wood is so strong it can throw the tree a great distance. If I had cut this tree from the bad side you wouldn't be seeing these pictures.

the only downside I experiened with using it is it's very splintery when tossing the logs into the stove.

Absolutely, sharp splinters. I always wear gloves when handling.

He's a really good fact-based article on black locust.

He's saying 24% is dry enough that it won't sizzle.  If you season wood in a shed you can get below 15%, no? 

Oh sure you can get it below 15%. Most of my locust is way below. You hardly notice a difference when burning however. Here's a picture of 24% tonight.

Mint. It is a naturally dry wood, which is nice. I pay more attention to burn temp and frequent cleaning, but maybe I'm doing it wrong. 

Fortunately, black locust firewood has low quantities of sap and resin; therefore, it is a low creator of creosote. Compared to other typical firewood types, black locust has no more resin or sap. Black Locust does produce a small amount of sap naturally.

Isn’t that too wet? Should be like 15%?

You rarely find wood at 15%. Locust wood won't even sizzle at 24.
