Two weeks without Rosa was tough. In that time, one of my students came with another injured cat. This one was just a kitten, about 3 months old. Her back left leg was torn to shreds by something, though nothing was broken. She has kept my attention for the past two weeks, but I still missed Rosa.

Thank you, sir, for your monologue and I agree your strength is your wife or your partner whichever it may be. I also enjoyed immensely your monologue on the stresses and cracks and how to deal with it when cutting the wood to sizes. God bless stay safe. 🇨🇦✌️

Glad you enjoyed it! God bless you as well!

[@earlyriser8998]

this was a great demonstration of how to maximize the use of a log. Not the way a mill would have attacked that log..but you got the most out of it

I like what you had to say and show! The music was a little much. Almost lost me because of it. I'm subscribing to see where your chanel goes! Best wishes!

Welcome to our channel! Unfortunately, we have very limited options for music choices due to copyright issues, so we do what we can. Thanks for sticking around in spite of it! 😁

[@ahorseman4ever1]

@@ADifferentWay i just found that when editing my videos that I really had a better effect by turning the volume of my music way down. I was turning the volume way down and then needing to turn it back up when you spoke. I greatly appreciate what you and your family are doing. Many blessings.

[@ADifferentWay]

Thanks for the tip. I will definitely keep it in mind!

[@maryann2970]

Just curious, but what model respirator and noise blocking head phones you are using? I could use some of these myself. Ty!

[@ADifferentWay]

Nothing fancy. It’s just a Stihl brand chainsaw mask and ear protectors on a helmet. I don’t know why, but I just generally like the fit better than goggles.🤷‍♂️

I am a new owner of a small sawmill and have been milling dying and dead ash and man can that stuff move as you cut it

A woodgasifer would be a great alternative for burning wood in a furnace.

[@inthewoods5640]

It’s not wasted word ,it’s just now firewood😂

[@ADifferentWay]

Very true! 😁
