    Fireplaces & Firewood

    Black Locust isn't rare. My property is loaded with live and standing dead black locust. Hell, it grows along the roads everywhere here. It will grow in any type of soil, clay, sand, rock, whatever. It's actually pretty invasive. You can send those bow makers my way. They can pay me the good...

    Ozzy Osborne has died. . .

    Rest in peace Ozzy. A true legend and a genius in his own right. Sabbath was well ahead of their time. For most of his life he went "crazy" and us fans reap the benefits of his craziness in his music

Afton didnt charge the greet part. Zach helped clear guns. No issues at airport. Never once did I...
