All have been used as weed deterring mulch around my blueberries, and I think could possibly be a cardboard replacement for sheet mulching. I have also considered matted maple or oak leaves. This would utilize the plant’s physical adaptation to smother understory ladder fuels and competition.

In my recollection of the Wheaton properties, Ponderosa  stood out as the dominant species, although I don't have anything but a spattering of doug fir back home for comparison...

Thomas, did you consider the pros and cons of the magnets vs mortaring some sort of angle iron into the outer skin?

Perhaps part of this cycle, I lost a ball point pen and a single sock of the same colour, that I had never seen before, showed up in the dryer...

Wofati advantage #42:

I've heard Ernie Wisner recommend this in a video or two.

I left the internal part of the "plunger tube" uninsulated, figuring a fast heat-up there would be similar to the 'kissing the barrel' effect. It is at the far end of the stratification bench though.

I also built up the cob around the pipe on the top side of the bench. Mostly to reinforce it against, and discourage, being bumped, but also thought that conductive heat transfer up the pipe could be moderated that way. Seems to me this is a good balance between convective and conductive transfers, but no proof from comparisons...

Okay. I do think it appeared also when I reactivated a tab that was weeks old after the browser put it in 'hibernation' or something, but again this is just an odd non-sequitur I noticed a few times as it briefly flitted by...

Was that like a white button in the middle of a light brown background, and the button suddenly turns blue?

Is the Captcha module intended to require manual intervention from the user to check the box?

It only appears for a split second, so no recollection of details beyond the appearance of the box.

I will make a note of this next time I experience it.

I have noticed this with other sites a few times since then, so it would appear to be an issue between the captcha module and my browser.

I thought this was perfected back in the 70s-
