        Finally found more oysters on the property. Maybe it's been too hot for them?

          Stumbled upon fall oysters out back while taking pictures of my new cap. I cut around the eaten parts so Amanda and I can enjoy them yet again for dinner. Found on oak stumps in the backyard.

                @Giles dude that's awesome! I'd love to do that one day. Are they abundant or do you need search around?

                    This post doesn’t fit neatly into any of the current threads (Gardening…, Insects) so I took a stab at Foraging...

                    Have a beekeeping buddy and visited him this week as he was busy tending to his hobby. This time around he was recycling wax from previous honey harvests and making new wax panels. He tells me that every year he recycles about 1/3 of the total panels, so usually wax panels are never older than about 3 years.

                    Starts by heating up the old wax panels in a bucket with a small burner and pouring the runny wax on a German machine

                    IMG_4202.jpeg
                    IMG_4203.jpeg

                    Gently clamps it down,

                    And opens it after some 15-20 seconds to get a new wax panel

                    I thought it was pretty cool stuff.

                    The journey is the objective.
