One of my favorite sailboats. I've owned a Cal 2-27 for over 20
years. I've owned larger, newer boats but the cal 27 remains my
favorite sailboats for the Great Lakes especially Lake Erie.
My humble opinion on several older sailboats that were popular on the
Great Lakes during the '70s
Interesting information on burning firewood as a home heating aid.
We've backed up our home's heating furnace with a firewood woodstove for
over 40 years.
Our ancestors used many different items to cure their ills. Hundreds of
these items, or herbs, as people called them were developed into the
medicines that we use today. Note: For information only. We do not sell or promote herbs here.
Muzzle loading ballistic tables from my son and my experiences with Ohio
muzzle loading deer hunting.
This web page contains a complete Dalrymple family line from Andrew
Dalrymple, born in Scotland about 1682, all the way down to my grandson,

Dry
firewood weights per cubic foot.
Weighing a
single cubic foot of dry firewood is a good way to
determine the heat value in BTUs of the species as a
firewood.
The
heavier the dry wood, the better it usually is as firewood.
As you can see by the chart below, Osage Orange or
Shagbark Hickory will provide almost three times
the BTUs as Atlantic Cedar.
