Very dapper man with premium kitten accessories. Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.

A brown skinned man in a light striped shirt, bow tie, and Panama-style hat at a jaunty angle sits on roughhewn wooden bench with a black cat and tabby cat scooped up in his arms. The tabby seems to be trying to make an exit.

That’s a great creek 🤙

IMO X-Files is one of the greatest shows ever made. Winter is also a great time to start watching. The Lone Gunman are my favorite

Nate Larsen @mfchoochoo.bsky.social · Dec 16

Good on ya! 🤘

Nate Larsen @mfchoochoo.bsky.social · Dec 16

I hear ya! The choice is up to the operator here in the US. I run a saw daily and was encouraged from when I was green to always wear them. Now I feel naked running a saw without them haha. For me it’s just one less thing to think about when I’m experiencing 100+ decibels of noise at the same time 🤙

Nate Larsen @mfchoochoo.bsky.social · Dec 15

Nice! Those are some good lookin slabs!

Nate Larsen @mfchoochoo.bsky.social · Dec 15

Love it! Is that maple?

Nate Larsen @mfchoochoo.bsky.social · Dec 14

I know a lot of folks who run a saw for work and are competent operators. I can list the ones who wear chaps consistently on less than two hands. The average chainsaw injury costs about $14,000. Chaps are cheap

Weekend woodworking in the yard. These live edge table tops were sustainably harvested from a black walnut in NEPA. The plan is to finish them with danish oil. Wasn’t sold on the design of the base but the spruce pedestal is working well

When I lived down south I loved walking and riding bike in the Blackwater River watershed

Just saw this morning that a grassroots organization shut down plans to build a sewage treatment plant in the middle of the wetlands that would have had severe negative impact on this natural beauty

Send it 🤙

Sending healing thoughts your way so sorry for your loss. From just a brief glimpse I can tell what a special boy he was and how strong a bond you shared. I am certain that his spirit is with you still. Love is eternal and he def knows that you love him

Seems appropriate with today’s landowners pretending to care about the land

Man in Top Hat, indicating rich landowner faces group of ‘common’ folk having the following conversation
Get off this estate
What for?
Because it’s mine
Where did you get it?
From my father
Where did he get it?
From his father
And where did his father get it?
He fought for it
Well, we’ll fight you for it
