Are we all doing it wrong?

Yes I am very interested in this rocket stove technology. Wait there was a stove in that video?

 

For a small price, you too may have boots like that, LOL! And, for 50 years old, she has got it goin' on for sure! She may be in better shape than I am- I'm a fan!

And, I'm all for living vicariously, I'm just looking out for Dave's heart rate, doing my good medical deed for the day.

 

One time I was at the Maine Farmer's and Gardener's Associaton's Organic Fair here in town, and I was manning a booth for the local Soil and Water Conservation District. The booth was right beside one about cheese and a cute young thing was there manning that booth, and had miniskirt on and knee high boots. Well as the day wore on it got hot, so she decided to take off her boots, and though married, I might look now and then at women still...especially cute young things in miniskirts.

Then I saw her two inch leg a hair...shudder, shudder, shudder again...choke back my breakfast....

Like I said it is a lifestyle. Not one I want Katie to engage in.

 

I just threw-up in my mouth.

 

I am so sorry. I really am...that was over 5 years ago and sadly that memory still is burned in my mind. So disappointing...

Would this make up for that mental image, Katie filling the old New Yorker WC-90 with a stick of wood in her Little Red Dress? Again not Farmer Survivor Girl, but no 2 inch leg hair either.

(For those that do not know, Katie is my wife)

 

what r u trying to say eric?

 

I am just surprised that no one is condemning me for having a little bit of rot on my firewood???

 

no offense to your wife LodgedTree ... Just teasing others... You are a brave man marrying a redhead! but there id another famous red head nick named the 'ornery one ' may your marriage last as long and be such as much of an inspiration!

 

Naaaa...not a real redhead. Brunette, though she does the red highlight thing.

I have to give her credit for that photo though. It was not on this forum, but another where the guys there helped me hook up the boiler. They had seen her before and so they said,"Take a picture of your boiler for us...no wait, take a picture of your wife, and we will see which one is better looking." I told Katie, so she shrugged her shoulders, squeezed into her little red dress and posed for a few pictures...knowing full well where they would be posted! That is kind of brave.

But she has worn that dress out on dates before. Once we were in Home Depot picking up some lumber and some guy walked straight into a rack of 2 x 4's. How could a person miss a whole rack of 2x4's...the shortest it could be is 8 feet long! To his credit though, it is not a common sight at a Home Depot in Maine.

 

I agree,sealed house,excellent southern exposure,YET no wind on house,I just do not see it ,and I lve in MT.If it is close by,I will go look at it,let me know.And,last year/winter was not "brutal cold" out here,actually was very mild,was quite a few days in december I had no heat on because I do get good afternoon sun.Heck,most of the snow melted in december,below 7k feet,on slopes that were not north,or hidden.Just for the fact he lied about that makes me wonder about the rest.

 

He lives close to Butte MT if I remember.

 

It’s basically gasification. It’s also way more how you utilize the BTUs. In a perfect world you would burn at max temp, lets say 2200F, transfer that energy to a controlled medium which you extract the energy however you choose, flue gas would be ambient air temp out the back end. You’re just controlling how and where the energy is. Now, size is the biggest hurdle. You are now in the business of storing energy to be used at a later time. There is nothing better at storing and releasing energy than water but that comes with complexity. So on and so forth.

 

Oh, I think you'd get used to leg hair after a while!

 

ah about 100 miles away
