What good looks? Well, she's awake now! Gifts are opened, morning card game has bee played and now getting ready for our day long Christmas celebration about 30 miles down the road.
From another forum..... Twas da night before Christmas in dis Yooper house, and nuttin' was stirrin', not even our mouse. Da rest of da family was all fast asleep wit' visions of pasties delivered by jeep. Da swampers was hung by da chiminey wit care in hopes dat Saint Nicolas soon would be dere. And in da far corner it was lovely to see da Bosch cans and cabbage dat hung from da tree. Ma home from da mine and me out on parole, she was snuggled in bed; I was perched on da bowl. Den alluva sudden da house starts to shudder, some nut's on da roof and he broke da rain gutter. He jumps down da chimney and swears cause it's tight As I hide behind beer cases, way outta sight. He lands in da fireplace scorching his hair on a busted up orange crate still burning in dere. He climbs outta da fireplace and I take a long look, he's just like they show him in my coloring book. Wit vodka-glazed eyes and a stomach like a bubble, a five-day-old beard and dere's soot on his stubble. His teet when he smiles look like Grampa's weed-saw, and he wore tenner shoes big as grizzly bear's paws. Dis old Yooper elf gives me nutting to fear as he heads for da kitchen for cookies and beer. He kills off a six pack den belches and smirks, and reaches into da playdoh sack, ready to work. Now under da tree he's starting to set da most beautiful presents us Yoopers can get. Dere's a new pastymatic and snowblower for mother, a steel chainsaw and some swampers for brother. Some mud flaps, CB, and new-used weedwacker, a helmet and nightshirt dat say "Green Bay Packers". He close up da sack and he jumps in da coals and hollering "OUCH!", up da chiminey he rose. He grunted and groaned as he tossed out his bag and cracked such a beer fart (ugh) I'm starting to gag. I must watch him leave so I rushes outside, I looks up at da roof while in bushes I hide. And what does I see when I looks trough da twigs? A rusted old car body, pulled by eight pigs! Santy jumped in and he gave 'em all hell, "Let's go all yous pigs, don't just sit dere and smell! On Mushy and Mushy and Lempy and Joe and all a you's others what names I don't know. Fly over Negaunee and turn to da right, we make Houghton-Hancock before I get tight." Den I hear him exclaim with a cynical sneer "Pull in at dat Bosch sign, I run outta beer!!
Got a fiskars hookaroon from my SIL for Christmas! I've been wanting one so this was perfect! I will try it out for a while and if I like it will maybe buy a second one. I bought one for my FIL for Christmas this year. Merry Christmas FHC!
Yup, I was right.........................even though you come across as a BULLY.............................
Did my midseason chimney sweep today since it's been warm for this time of year. Only got a couple cups worth of stuff out. There was a pretty good amount of the black shiny stuff mixed in it. No black tar-like stuff other than just a bit at the very top of the chimney where it hits the air and on the cap.
Did mine on monday. Got about a 1 lb. coffee can worth of the same stuff. Mine always comes from the top 3' which is also exposed to the cold air.
