    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.

    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.

    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

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

    [​IMG]

    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. [​IMG]
    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.
