For a Christmas present, Jim's next door neighbor cleaned out weeds and trash from around his splitter. [emoji106]
Next step is for Jim to get it running.[emoji6]

Tentative plan is to haul some pine blocks tomorrow.

That season is passed.

Not quite for me..
Last gathering today..
Then it's on!

 

[67L36Driver]

Closed the chimney damper down too far and filled the house with smoke. Alarm went off.

Made negative points with Blondie.

Can't slow down the burn rate.

Put the glass in front of the opening?

Put the glass in front of the opening?

Yup. We keep glass doors closed.
It has a draft control at the bottom. That I've nearly shut. Leaks at the edges and hinges. Double bifold like a closet.

 

[67L36Driver]

With the draft closed.
(Knob at bottom center of doors)


With draft full open it percolates right along.

I think I'll get Jim over here to review the process.

It has kept the house (1800 sq ft) from dropping below 64 deg.

I am looking at my daughter and cannot imagine what it must be like. Let us know if there is anything we can do...

Sorry to here this.

I cannot fathom losing a child to something like that, let alone the abruptness of the loss. I know the Lord knows what he's doing and why, but sometimes his logic is hard to follow.

Is anybody up for a charity cut?! A friend of ours in Seymour has had her small farm logged, and would let us all come have fun and turn the tops into wood. There is a little bit of every hardwood, mostly Oak and Walnut, and a bunch of cull logs leftover. There was about 12 acres of timber.
The owner is a widow with three girls, two of whom are still in school, and she still burns wood in a outside boiler.
If anyone is interested, I will go take some pictures and scope out the territory. Timing is flexible, as this wood would be burned next year and after. I was thinking maybe February or March weather dependant.

I'd love to chew up some fuel.. Although I don't think I have a big enough truck to carry all the saws I have

Had a good day of rabbit hunting. First thing I've killed with the Benelli. Ended up only having one hind quarter that was use-able on that one. Switched to #7-1/2 shot and #3 choke (modified) and the next rabbit was completely use-able. That's my buddy's daughter. She was being shy, but wanted to see the rabbit regardless. She just wanted to see us skin it, but didn't want to touch it, lol.

Mine got a little out of hand tonight. Had to use gloves to open the doors, lol. I should have expected as much from the locust.

Charity cut........Hell Yes! Let me know a date ASAP so I can schedule time off, hopefully not on call.

Charity Cut? What is that? Is she keeping all of the wood?
