    The way I see it is she fixes the meals, so I "yes Dear" and my stomach isn't growling.

    Despite the cold temperatures is really not as cold out here since the humidity is low. Best kept secret.

    You would be right if it was not for our phones being VOIP. So if the internet goes, then so do the phones. But like so many others, we have some cell phones so all is not lost. Ours are smart phones so we even can do the internet thing.

    He needs to get a handle on that situation, he should be able to fix his own meals.

    Oh I can, and can do it well, too well and that's part of the problem.
    When she was off her feet for a couple years, I did everything in addition to running rehab for her.

    I think by the too well part Larry is saying he got extra portions. In which case let the stomach growl a bit and add some complaining into the mix just like she complains about the batteries being in need of charging.

    Usually that's the case but not in the VOIP situation. I have a battery backed up phone system in this house that is cellular phone based and have both portable and hard wired phones on it. The boss has a cell phone they operate on separate cell systems. At the moment we are down to one operating phone system, her beast can't contact the cell system at all anywhere and is out being repaired or replaced. Even hard wired battery backed up land-line systems get damaged along with power line systems.

    Here are a few pics. I managed to get my son and his bud to help get the stove in the house. Youth can't be beat I'll tell yea. I think the stove looks great !!! We are going to get a new hearth extension, new surge protector and a new exhaust adapter. Also going to repaint the heatalator grates to match the stove. The stove and surround especially are heavyyyyy. I would suggest two people to install surround so no chipping occurs. Can't wait for the first firing !!!

    Well, finally finished her up this morning. Spit shined and ready to go!....had one snafu at start-up, auger won't turn....long story short, bad vacuum switch. I'm not sure when the hell that happened as the stove ran fine until I unplugged it in the Spring....oh well!

    It was rainy, windy and overall crappy here today, so I did my end of season/near the start of season cleaning, plus installing the new upper burn plate. I took a bunch of pics. I'll start a new thread on that once I've gone through all the pics and get them in some sort of order.

    Best part, only needed one bandaid, which is pretty good all things considered. :thumbs:

    Trying to figure out where to take this for repairing. Some Jackwagon ran into my trailer while parked at the boat launch. At least he left a note and is willing(so far) to cover the cost of the repair.

    I want it to look as if it never happened!!
