    Hey, I could get 20+ tons and still get a Rav4 in the garage under, my normal order was 11 ton every other year or so. Remember it is uphill both ways in my driveway. Ain't (forgive me Mrs. Flagg) space grand!!! We even had high tide on the brook at the bottom of the hills.

    So Lori had her follow up endoscopy today. Got to talk with her doc who now says after getting all her lab results in, that she does NOT have autoimmune hepatitis. Doc said they were hoping the tests would show that she did as it would explain a lot but now they're back to square one - they have no idea.
    She's staying on the BP med as it's controlling pressure through the esophagus, doing a liver biopsy soon.

    That has to be very frustrating to not have answers. Sometimes the not knowing is the worst part as it allows our imaginations to run wild - which regardless of the eventual diagnosis, does not do us any good mentally or physically. Hope you gt answers soon to relieve the anxiety.

    Weather was lovely yesterday with temps in the upper 50's F
    We have been cleaning up the basement (Read as organize)
    Added two more metal shelf units to get stuff off the floor and organized.....
    I ordered a Husky metal cabinet as well from the Depot......Got it the other day.....OMG....A 3 foot wide 6 foot high cabinet and it weighed a buttload..........More cardboard packaging than cabinet parts.

    Took about an hour to unbox and get the cabinet assembled.....Husky has great assembly manual.......

    Pretty much sketches with a list of parts.......

    Only 3 shelves......I need to order more.......

    I could use another one of these....or more......But between the cabinet and the new shelves we are making a big improvement in things.....

    Still need to go though the existing shelves and clean house (Garbage run)

    Been here 30 years now and accumulated a LOT OF STUFF......

    I guess I hadn't noticed that I was more worried & stressed than I thought. Lori said the other day that I seem a bit more on edge and get overly nervous if she says she's not feeling well lately. I'm a bit more calm after the endoscopy knowing the veins in her esophagus have healed well. Last weekend she said she felt nauseous one morning and I'm thinking "oh no not again". It passed after she ate some breakfast and my stress level went down.

    Last week at her endo doc visit a nurse handed Lori some info on liver transplants then said "oh those weren't meant for you" and took them back. We've talked of the possibility it could eventually come to that, have spoken to her 2 sons about being prepared to donate a part of one of theirs so it wasn't like she hadn't thought about it.

    The past 7 years have sometimes felt like a long running episode of House. Always some weird medical issue coming up that takes forever to figure out.

    Decided to save 30 lbs of the cherry pits for a cold snap! A 75% pellet to 25% pit mix is hot!! On to the corn now, Forgot how nice the fire is with corn/pellet mix. Flame is more yellow and nice blue tips unlike the orange ish pellet flame. Good heat too! Burning a 60% pellet 40% corn mix.

    May mix in a little switchgrass/timothy grass but not much. The silica of the grass does help with corn clinkers IMHO.

    Nice! Receiving a good assembly manual is priceless. I hate having to go find a youtube video from my computer to figure out the assembly since my memory is not long and even with a large phone screen, I can't really use that for "on site" assembly.

    I'll need to get a cabinet or shelves for my shed. But keep having other priorities that compete for the $$. Maybe next month.

    The one we got was from Home Depot.. 72" tall; x 36" wide x 18" deep Husky brand steel cabinet

    It was packed very well....

    Drag that bad boy out of the rig and cut the box open......Unbox and pack the parts in by the piece.......

    We used two hand trucks to roll the beast into the basement....

    I am sure the Lowes and other BIG BOX stores have similar........I had to order it from the web site....Not a stocked item

    I picked up that ton of Energex premium hardwoods. They are the "economy" version of energex. They are made in Mifflinsburg (sic) Pa. Ok pellet, more heat and less ash than GS, but not by much. I'd say buy I'm if you see them. I paid $325 and I picked them up.
    Game time. Bring on the commercials, lol.
