Leather The “What’s going on in the S&F shop” thread!

Absolutely agree.

Well, my wife is not one to be lazy. She says “Let’s go shovel. It’s light snow.”
So ya, just got in from shovelling off the decks and clearing our tarp buildings and vehicles. 13”-14” of snow so far in the last 3 hours.

Shovelling intermittently does make it easier in the long run. In an hour or so, it will be movie on the lap top and cuddling on the couch.
 
True it does make it easier in the long run. I am guessing you are in the double digits negative, close to US 0 degrees so it should be low moisture content which does help.

I could see how you would think that, because I would assume the same…but it’s only -2° right now. So big flakes. However, it has been -9° all week so any moisture content from the ground/lower air is non-existent. It’s a weird thing.

That is barely below freezing. In Michigan that is usually wet, heavy snow. Great for making snowmen but terrible to move with a snow thrower and even worse with a shovel

That is generally how it is here too! I was expecting stinking heavy snow. But nope. Light as a feather. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Take it as a blessing. Still at the rate you are getting it, time to get the motorized stuff out. We have lived in Michigan since July of 2011. When we bought the house, I bought an huge 2 stage blower and a small single stage. The 2 stage has been used 4 times in 12 years. The paint is not off the inside of the auger housing. Not complaining but I like the way it launches snow
 
Such a blessing. No complaints as my blower went kaput a few years ago and we decided that shovelling is good for our health. Haha.

We do have a gentleman who blows our driveway with an 8’ blower on a tractor these days. Our driveway is 300’ and we used to hand shovel that! Don’t know what we were thinking. Haha

Be careful shoveling. My bad just twisted up reading shoveling 300 feet of driveway
 
I broke down and bought a snowblower a couple winters back after spending 3 days shoveling out after a couple big storms back to back. I never minded shoveling snow ... but it sure is nice just talking a slow stroll and having a wide well cleaned driveway lol.

Cooking on a wood stove is one of life's little pleasure for me. I don't loose power often these days, but a pot of chilli still tastes better after simmering on the wood stove.

I have to agree. And although I don't do it as often as in the past ... there ain't a better biscuit than those made in a dutch oven over an open fire.

You’re making me hungry again! Haha.

One of my new year’s resolutions last year was to cook more on an open fire and to camp more this past year.

I failed miserably.

I think the heat is more even from a solid metal stove or campfire. Bottom of the pan/pot is heated evenly.
Was thinking the same thing about being hungry

Most definitely. But, I must “argue” that a nice wood campfire creates one of the most savoury flavors to foods.

Or maybe I’m just starving by the time the food is ready. 😂🤣
