Wood For Smoking, A Visit, and Those Darn Blackberry Vines

Sunday July 27, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Smoking wood

I was looking around for some more wood to use for smoking fish. I saw some apple wood on the ground in my neighbors apple orchard, all cut up and piled up an an old stump.

I got my wheel barrel and went over and got the wood and got my chainsaw out to cut the wood in smaller pieces.

I cut these pieces of wood into smaller pieces for smoking and hauled them over to the smoking area. Now I’m ready to do some more smoking soon.wood

In the mean time Tom is doing some smoking so I went over to see if he needed some advice on the subject. I found him working on one of his golf carts. Seems the front end needed some work.tom

He seemed to be doing ok with his fish smoking so I left him at it.

Visit

A bit later in the day I hopped on one of my dirt bikes and rode it up through the park and on up to my cousin’s place for a visit. They were home so we had a good visit, then I rode on home down through the state park.

Blackberry vines

Back home I had a nap then got my loopers out and cut a bunch of wild blackberry vines, only getting stuck once.

Nice day.

Hanging Around the Yard and a Fruit Stand

Saturday July 26, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Hanging around

I spent the day  just hanging around the yard and doing a bit of napping today. Just a rest up sort of day.

Fruit stand

I did notice my neighbor Dominique and Tom had set up a fruit stand across the main road to take advantage of the State Park visitors today.stand

It looked like a good set up. They are both good at this as they both have done the Farmer’s market for a number of years now.stand2

Peaches

They mostly had fresh picked peaches, right off the trees and a few apples too.fruit

I thought of going up into the hills and doing some work, but just taking it easy and resting up seemed like the way to go today and besides, the forest work would keep.

Nice day.
