    One day at a time, you know. Oil is cheap, and I can't sling pellet bags like I used to, so burning more oil. But I love it when the Croix is alight and the kitchen is nice and toasty!

    I did that last year, burned at the end of the season to keep the den warm. But this year I'm burning for the exercise to help with my stroke recovery.

    I'd spec 316 stainless if possible. ;)

    I'm gonna try an help out IHP. making the second is only slightly harder if planned properly. You get stuck, Lemme know! I can't make them a priority. But I can tinker on it here and there.

    I didn't know about your stroke - hope you are getting fully recovered! Got some health issues here, too, but motoring on, one day at a time.

    No, the issue isnt funny but of anyone will get it rectified, STB will

    The man is relentless, just ask his retirement plan companies as well as his router manufacture :yes:

    Oh boy, Don is in for it now :heidi:

    I'll be sending that burn pot back as I heard from Don yesterday evening.

    Mean while I'm on the old pot which has issues but no where near what it's replacement had.

    Yes, I've been known to be very persistent on a lot of issues.

    heat seeker, I had a stroke on Saturday July 2 of this year. Was lucky, I'm slowly recovering working on getting my strength back on the left side. Made it through the wheel chair, walker, cane, on my two legs routine. Got through hospital based rehab in 6 days. Current PITA is my whizzing needs work. I came home with a catheter got rid of that and now am a lot better but not 100% in that area. Low dose diuretic once a day.

    The grating is narrowing as well as breaking and pulling back from each end the two pots are different in their slot and hole configurations(got changed due to other issues). So several things are happening that didn't before.

    Make certain you keep that pension plan information and keep after them if they claim they owe you nothing specifically if you worked in a merger prone environment. Now Bank of America found out the hard way.

    I got paid by one those two plans that I didn't have, today in fact.

    I'm really glad you're on the mend - keep up the good work! My problems are minor compared to yours. This getting old crap is not for the weak or timid, is it?

    Nope the rubber really hits the ground when you get a bit long o the tooth. I still have my mind and it is still swearing so I should be fine.
