14225. arkymalarky - 3/20/2005 8:59:05 PM Well, Judith and Keoni left a couple of hours ago and, as usual, we had a FANTASTIC time, start to finish! 14226. Macnas - 3/21/2005 9:11:33 AM iiibbb,
Good man yourself. 14227. alistairconnor - 3/21/2005 10:54:57 AM iii -- Cool!
and, by the way, according to your method, is there a clear-cut answer to the original question? (extra degradation from wet-weather cutting) 14228. Magoseph - 3/21/2005 2:22:47 PM ... we had a FANTASTIC time, start to finish!
May we know a little more about what you all did?
Hello, Ali! 14229. iiibbb - 3/21/2005 2:41:37 PM Message # 1422
There is a way to make a statement as to whether one forest practice is more harmful than another. If one of the treatments is considered 'non-damaging' then you can make a case that the others are or are not.
The sensitivity to disturbance is going to be site type specific. You wouldn't expect all forests to behave the same anyway. My particular sites, as it turns out, appear to be quite resiliant to the logging disturbances. The soils have shrink-swell properties and through repeated wetting and drying manage to remediate themselves. They are also already very fertile, so there is no issue with nutrient depletion, which may not be the case on other sites.
We buggered the hell out of my sites and I found no difference in the change in site productivity... at least do to the logging disturbances. 14230. PelleNilsson - 3/21/2005 4:15:57 PM I really don't understand this with wet and dry harvesting. No rain, no forest, isn't that so? 14231. judithathome - 3/21/2005 4:58:00 PM Well, Keoni and I didn't overpack this weekend, that's for sure. Two shirts each, clean undies, and pajamas. That's it. One bag for both of us.
We went to Old Washington with Arky and spent the day looking at civil war era houses, shops, and even a civil war era court house. I was most fascinated by the print shop and Keoni liked the gun museum, which was housed in the old bank and I would defy anyone to attempt breaking into that bank...the walls were solid brick and the floor was bricked, too...no windows and only one door. My broken leg gave up the stamina ghost before we got down to the blacksmith shop...next time, we'll start at that end and work our way back up. ;-)
It was beautiful weather and of course, wonderfully quiet at Arky's place. A super weekend of great conversation, great food, and relaxing pace. Excellent hosts...I can highly recommend them. 14232. PsychProf - 3/21/2005 5:06:27 PM I am a pathological over packer. Then I get irritated when I have to drag the stuff everywhere. Must be genetic. 14233. judithathome - 3/21/2005 5:13:19 PM I follow Thoughtful's rules for packing and rarely over-pack. Another hint...lay out each item, smooth it out and fold over once, then roll it. Less wrinkling and very efficient to pack, leaves more room than you'd expect. 14234. Ms. No - 3/21/2005 5:41:56 PM Ooh! I'm quite envious!
I had rather an interesting weekend myself, though. Saturday was sandal and book shopping out with my bro and nephew but yesterday I went to the Silver Lake Leather Days Street Fair and let me tell you I have never seen so many pairs of ass-less chaps in my life.
14235. Magoseph - 3/21/2005 6:38:13 PM Flexy always buys too many pears so I decide to poach the ones threatening to spoil. I find a recipe on Google and everything goes well until this heavenly smell reaches me. Always suspecting Flexy to buy sweet rolls, another one of his indulgences, I rush to the kitchen and find him stirring some sort of compote in the pot where the poached pears were cooling. Well, I never shut the heat off the pears and Flexy was just trying to help the situation--the resulting mess is delicious and there is no plan for lunch or dinner today. 14236. Magoseph - 3/21/2005 6:38:45 PM Judith, it’s a good idea rolling clothes as you suggest. I believe in traveling with the kind of underwear you wash every night and hang to dry in the bathroom. 14237. iiibbb - 3/21/2005 6:41:53 PM 14230. PelleNilsson - 3/21/2005 4:15:57 PM
I really don't understand this with wet and dry harvesting. No rain, no forest, isn't that so?
If you run harvesting machinery on wet ground it causes much soil disturbance (compaction and rutting). People are concerned that this disturbance reduces soil quality and site productivity. 14238. judithathome - 3/21/2005 8:28:07 PM I believe in traveling with the kind of underwear you wash every night and hang to dry in the bathroom.
We take old stuff and discard it...we have a drawer full of old undies (mine and his) that go with us on trips but don't make it home. Sounds scandalous but makes life much easier while travelling.

or perhaps "stinky" is more appropriate? 14241. judithathome - 3/21/2005 9:39:01 PM Not at all...they might be shabby but they are clean. I think it's telling you can't even make a joke about me without being insulting, however.
You might be interested to know I learned this little trick from a well known travel magazine. But I suppose you'd rather drag dirty underwear around in your suitcase...fine by me. I think we know which one would be stinky, though. ;-) 14242. KuligintheHooligan - 3/21/2005 9:41:43 PM " I think it's telling you can't even make a joke about me without being insulting, however."
Do you have a persecution complex, judith? "Stinky underwear" is hardly insulting. Nor was it intended as such.
Thin skin today, no doubt? 14243. Magoseph - 3/21/2005 9:42:34 PM As a rule, I don’t criticize people who express themselves honestly and with conviction—I reserve my quiver for those who fabricate and misrepresent reality to an intolerable level and those who play at dispensing needless cruelty.
14244. KuligintheHooligan - 3/21/2005 9:42:35 PM perhaps i should have put that cute little emoticon at the end of my stinky comment just ta make ya feel a little less threatened juds?

Is that better now??
