What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Deer jerky in the dehydrator. First time using the excalibur. We got this for free last year. Our friend ordered one and they shipped two, they said to keep it. Worcestershire, soy, garlic salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and Teriyaki. Pre soaked with curbing salt then rinsed prior.

 

Finished shoveling, AGAIN!, and took a hot shower. I’ve had all I can stands and I can’t stands no more!

WHAT A STORM!

Still coming down hard now!

 

Disaster today at the house. Upstairs waterline had burst and was flooding like crazy. Had trouble locating the water main in the snow and due to recent installment of a new flush hydrant in our yard, I feared it was buried. This went on in the freezing cold for an hour until we found the meter and shut the water off. My den is a disaster- but fortunalty it was contained to one room.

So thankful a friend who hunts the farm ad woods around it came over and stubbed off the line.

All weekend the boiler temp at the furnaces was not keeping up. I shut off the boiler thermostat on one furnace and reverted to the normal unit. I went outside to the boiler and the new circulation pump was making a racket. so the pump is shut down. Hoping first thing Monday I can get the guy out.

Now I am due for a remodel of the downstairs den and have to deal with a boiler not working. So mentally draining.

 

Ruff...

 

Anybody else still up wrapping...?

Twas the Night Before Christmas (re-told)
written by DeeDee Cooper
Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the world
Not a child was seen praying
Everyone's mind in a whirl
They had finished their shopping
But praise and joy was not found
Decorations were getting ready
To be all taken down.
There was not a present
Wrapped with love and with joy
It was all about finding
the most expensive toy
The one they all wanted
But to play with, they wont
They wanted it so that
To their friends they could gloat
Christmas shoppers aren't merry
They seem sad most the time
Complaining about money
Not wanting to spend their last dime
But they will keep on shopping
And then go home and be done
Then they'll wrap all the presents
And fill the stockings they hung.
what happened to Christmas
To the joy and the cheer
what happened to presents
That you'd make through the year
what happened to Jesus
And the stories we told
what happened to carolers
Singing out in the cold
Why is it that Christmas
Now only comes with a price
The greatest gift of them all
Was our Lord's sacrifice.
Twas the night before Christmas
I will call my grand-kids
Read them the Christmas book
And remind them of this
It's not about presents
wrapped in a bow or a toy
It's about Mary and Joseph
And the birth of their boy
It's the story of Christmas
That many seem to forget
But the one that we need to
Put top on our list.
Merry Christmas

 

Happy birthday TurboDiesel and Buck55 !

Happy birthday TurboDiesel and Buck55 !!!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Lol. No, I I got that done way early this year. Friday afternoon. Lol

 

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Merry Christmas to y'all!

 

A quick load from the pile to top off the porch and shop racks.



My system this year has been working pretty good.

I stacked about a face cord on a rack on the porch. That gets carried in the house two canvas totes at a time which gives a good evenings burn and some to stoke up for all nighters.

The firewood shed is about 20 ft from the porch. It holds about 2 1/2 cords.
I use the canvas totes to carry from there in the house and leave the porch for the missus or quick evening grabs.

The carryall on the tractor gets filled and parked under the lean to.
Throughout the day, as I wonder out back to use the bathroom, I grab a arm load and bring back in the shop for the Woodchuck wood furnace.

All in all, it’s a good system. I just need to get better at loading the shop stove for all nighters. Trouble is that my real job conf calls and dropping grandkids at school/daycare keeps me from making it back out there till 11:00 am most days. And I’m too stingy to put in a heater to leave on to maintain the concrete floor.

Can't like that. Glad damage was minor.
