    Yea
    It’s good to
    Start & let it run a while to keep the battery charged

    Blood tests?
    Doc say things getting better?
    You feel things getting better ?

    It has been very cold here also. 1 F. and getting colder. Big limb fell off the tree at the end of the driveway. I think it got hit yesterday by the delivery truck that brought my new generator. There are fresh marks on the bottom of the limb. Glad it didn't fall on a car or somebody. My son will get out the saw and cut it up so we can clear out the entrance to the driveway. Went to the doctor this Am for a knee injection. Helps with the pain. Stay warm, don't go out in this stuff unless you have to.

    The 1900p was my first house woodstove, and I've been very pleased with the performance of it. That's what I've used for the past 10 years, and we use it hard in the winter, all I've ever had to do to that stove is replace the firebrick once and the fiber baffles.

    Were going to a party at blacksmith's cousins barn. We had one last year there too, had a blast. We'll be deep frying wings and fresh cut fries all evening. We'll have to get some pics of the monster woodstove he built and has in that barn. It's huge!!
