    I ended up being pretty busy yesterday.......

    I love to fell and chop trees when I have time, it helps to relieve stress and it is a great workout.
    Anyway, my buddy built a sauna on his farm out of Cotton Wood trees. The Sauna is wood fired and sits right on the bank of a spring fed creek, so the water is always cold but and it never freezes. This is great for jumping in right from the sauna. That being said, I often supply some wood for the fire. Any wood that I cannot use for smoking, I load up and bring down to the farm to burn in the sauna. In this case we have a load of Ash and Basswood. (I know I could use Ash for smoking but I prefer Oak and Cherry, and I have Ash coming out of my ears!) And sorry for the shirtless pic of my buddy, Jake.

      man, that takes me back. My buddies dad, Mr. Kotilehti had one like that, we were in one day, and my buddy decides he's just gonna do the snow dive and roll. It had rained a little, and there was a crust on the snow...he runs out, does a dive and roll....gets up and he's nicked and bleedin' in 50 places, his dad and I laughed our butts off.

      Fantastic sauna, my in-laws had one up in the UP (Kewenau). Nothing can describe it, especially the dunk afterwords. They had a lake that boiled into a river to keep clear.

        Cannot adam and eve that Spinaker chose to indulge in a McDonald's breakfast for an Easter Weekend meal and what makes it even more unacceptable is that he's a talented cook with numerous smokers. Hope his approach will change as the long weekend progresses.
