    I was wondering why you hadn't boarded the other window up.....bears remember where they get vittles for free. Just like the grumpy one on the forum. ;)

    A bit of hard learned advice watch out for over medication. I was in and out in 9 days and was making steady progress towards a full recovery until I fell and broke my hip. Recovery from that fall has yet to occur.

    Ouch. The older you are the more serious a broken hip becomes. Lost my dear uncle last year to complications from a broken hip. At 72, I'm always very careful about my footing, especially working around farm tractors and implements.

    Hey pellet pigs!
    Can someone help me remember if there was a thread about removing dust from pellets? Or was it just mentioned in passing in a thread(s) ?

    Thanks y’all!

    I recall a thread at the old place about a contraption you can make.

    a box with a hookup for a shopvac. You pour the pellets in with the vacuum running and it pulls in the fines.

    My condolences. May you have plenty of good memories that surface while dealing with the clean up, to help ease your heart.
