Wood is Good 01

Lets talk about wood. Specifically firewood. About heating with firewood. First of all, this is a good thing. Its good for you. Great exercise, helps keep u connected to reality, (usually) saves money. Its good for the environment. When u burn wood, u r not adding to your ‘carbon footprint’ becuz when a tree grows it pulls carbon out of thin air (co2 actually) to use and convert into what it needs. A tree is really a pollution removal factory (no wonder they r called plants! Like i work at a yogurt plant u kno?) Hey sorry but remember i’m trying to entertain u remember?

So anyway heating with firewood is awesome! We will develop why, and how best to do it in some future installments.

Till later – Have a great day!

We will use the wayback machine, that’s how

Listen, most of you probably don’t know this.  My blog has been around for years.  Started in 2007.  But not done consistently.  And a huge gap from 2009 to 2014 (Yikes!)

So we just did a software update.  a huge jump and it was just easier to copy all the posts and blast the site.  Vaporize everything and load the new software.

I will be putting the old entries back into place, with their correct original date.  Hopefully it won’t take me too long.  So u will see the number of posts grow.  Backwards in time.  Magically.  we use computers and software for this stuff.

Hope u have a chance to go back and read what i wrote b4.  OK watch for the good old stuff.  I will also put out a current post to announce when all the old stuff is in place.

Keys in the snow

Got a call from my son. – u have a metal detector dont u? He was on a snow removal chore & realized he dropped a pair of keys. We just got about 16″ of snow. Brought over the detector then had to call my friend who had given it to me. Well we weren’t too sure about what we were doing, but in like five minutes we had the keys found. Big shout out “Thanks!” to Wayne for the tech support.

4:52 am

Why am i up bloging at 4:52 am you ask? Well i’m at work, and the workday is winding down. U may recall i work 6 pm to 6 am. This schedule affects my days off as well. Sometimes on a day off i wake up at say 2:30 am. My body has gotten some rest but due to my night shift it thinks it should b awake. Usually not worth trying to force myself back to sleep. Such is my life currently. Would like to find a job on days, near my home (remember my hour commute?)

Real Winter NG

Hey!  Enough already!  this winter weather stinks.  I much prefer fake winter to real winter.  Snow is work.  yeah it can be fun but that’s mostly if you’re a kid or going skiing/riding.  i’m not either.  we just survived a 1 foot snowfall, now we may b infor another one tomorrow.

Please hurry spring.  PLEASE     .     .     .     .    p.s.  about 10 below this morning
