    If you start now, I will be off duty by the time you get here. I have a nice bottle of "46" Makers Mark hanging out waiting.

    46 is smooth, I don't have much time to get to know it. I have been working on that bottle since '15. Another decade it will be real smooth. I retire in '28 wont surprise me if I still have that same bottle. Have a bottle of scotch from my wedding from '01.

    Feel better man. Chicken noodle soup, NyQuil at night and DayQuil during the day seems to help me out.

    While I am looking forward to retire, I am work happy. Been good to me, benefits, pay check, retirement, pension. Limited internet, not a issue.

    Should have looked at your sig line. How old is your Oakleaf? how do you like it? At one point I looked at the Mark III I like the shaker grate and ash pan.

    The oakleaf is a few years old, it works great, but eventually it'll need a combustion package down the road. I tend to prefer simpler, less moving parts in a stove. It alone keeps the house at around 70° by morning with -20's outside.

    Same here, like my non EPA Blasé King's. At some point they will need to be replaced. Hitzer's seem to be good stoves as well.

    Waking up to -9°F. Coldest morning in many years. Had to leave the furnace on all night so we didn’t burst any pipes. It’s looking much better for next week.
