You could get as much as $99 per 2.2 cubic feet (delivered, of course). But, your shipping company will be making a lot more cash that you are. I'm surprised that people will pay that much for a box of firewood but look at all the care that goes into it.

Artisinal hickory. Who knew??

That was a pretty funny vid. It said it was satire but looked really realistic. Then I saw the guy washing the wood and using scissors..

It does take me a while to split the kindling and then bundle it up. Next week I’ll start clipping the little fibers and washing it!

I think you need to be signed into youtube. Google account or whatever, to verify age...

Not sure. Some YouTube’s are working for me and some are not. Sometimes even in the same thread.

2/3 done and I am exhausted

Hang in there k!

That line is not straight.

Got a late start today but got down to the farm to split wood for kindling. Someone about cleaned me out the other day. And our firewood production numbers are really ramping up.

It was a really slow fall. But I think we’ll be right back in line with last years numbers. Except all of my costs have gone up: taxes. Insurance, utilities. Sigh. Anyway, I have a few cords to deliver next weekend.

Then my wife and I did a little driving around and maintenance at the property she manages. Found a lovely little neighborhood bar. Not too divey but not upper end either.

Christmas tree up. Cat is curious… it’s his favorite new toy….

Watched football. A prwttt food day. Got 15k steps today and 16k yesterday.

I would just point out that there are also some here (well, me at least) who are, sadly, unable to contribute to the collective wisdom but who cheer the others on from the sidelines. "Go Spooners!"

You make us laugh! Laughter opens up neural networks, making it easier to learn. See, you DO contribute!

My poor sweet innocent babe in the woods.

???

 

[Lilianna23]

She’s “perfect”. This is her stock answer to “how are you doing?.”

Her weight is dropping tho.

I didn’t visit her yesterday but will see her today.

Does she need/want to lose weight? If not, that's concerning. Bring her some of her favorite treats when you visit. The caregivers might not like it, but who cares?

 

[Lilianna23]

Seems to be going around. Feel better.

Oh, good! I'm glad.

 

[Lilianna23]

I’m printing this and posting next to my mirror in the bathroom. In the midst of sinus pain, I can not think straight!

Too bad I don't live closer. I would make a house call and massage your, um..., face!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning Wonderer and OM. I’m on cup 2 of my splendid coffee, Trader Joe’s French roast low acid. It’s very rich and smooth. . It’s my preference in women too

I'm pretty low maintenance. IDK if that is the same as low acid!

I fell asleep early last night watching Elf (after recording Army/Navy and watching it over dinner.)

Busy day. Delivered firewood, filled up my wood bins. Raked the farm yard with the tractor and got our Christmas tree.

Since the outdoor burn ban has been lifted, we had a nice late afternoon fire before dinner.

Didn’t get to my moms, but I’ll get there today.

Someone bought nearly all of my kindling this week so I am selling it in bulk.

Such a deal!

 

[Lilianna23]

A busy day you had. It’s no wonder you fell asleep early. As we get older I find I go to sleep early. I’m also up early.

The cold rain is here. Right now it’s just above freezing.

It was clear and cool during the day. Started raining this evening. Mountains are getting LOTS of snow!

 

[Lilianna23]

I am. We're discussing dishwashing.


Please try to keep up.

I'm Nursing, not Environmental Services!

 

[Lilianna23]

It would have been done daily with Measurable Progress. That's what you wanted and deserved.


The noise would get you back on a day shift schedule, too.

Yes! Although I have been up during the day. Waiting on scheduled workers who never called or showed.

I never thought I’d be annoyed not to be able to work out, live and learn…
Adulting

 

[Lilianna23]

That guy would be tossed off my range inside of 4 seconds. One does not fuck about with firearms. Load them, and one fucks about even less.

Good!

Shoot/harm yourself because you're being a dick? Well, messy, but whatever.

Shoot/harm others because you're being a dick?GTFO!

Had an LTR with a good nurse longtime ago. I'd make the occasional comment about exercise or diet, and she'd say, none of it means a thing if you smoke.


#1: don't smoke.

#2: everything else.

Nicotine is more addictive than heroin.

 

[Lilianna23]

I've had good luck with saline spray, too.


Just sayin'.

Saline spray is excellent! My friend has a sinus infection. I was at her house yesterday and today. She had the spray in her cupboard. I told her to use it and salt water gargle to help with post-nasal drip.

If one doesn't have saline spray, sniffing up a bit of the salt water helps.

Big teddy bear hugs back at ya!

Thanks, S! The only thing I did today was make a housecall on my friend. Then back on the couch for more sleepy-time! Good thing my dog is a couch potato, too!

 

[Lilianna23]

I sell seasoned mixed hardwood for $225 a cord. Also add a delivery fee.

It really hasn’t increased much in years.

I used to pay about $150 for a delivered cord when I lived in my old house. That was 30+ years ago!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning all! I do miss our wood burning fireplace. Just fake gas logs in this home. I guess it could be worse right. It doesn’t get that cold very often here but it is nice to enjoy the smell, crackling sounds.

I love the smell of a fire. I have a wood-burning fireplace in my bedroom but it has a gas log in it. I don't think we have ever burned wood in this house.

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning everyone. I hope you’ve been able to relax this weekend.

This new sleep schedule sucks. According to the apps and what my Doc says I should be getting 6 hours 45 minutes of sleep a night. I’m going to bed later so I’m “more tired” and I’ll get more quality sleep. Well this morning the alarm went off and I rolled over and got another 90 minutes of sleep. I’ll keep working on it and hopefully I’ll start to se the desired results soon.

Enjoy your Sunday (if you get Sunday off) and we’ll talk with you tomorrow.

You must have needed the sleep, BSK! I'm glad you got more!

 

[Lilianna23]

I just had a flashback of youth. Roadside vendors with Velvet Elvis’, Poker playing dogs, the “scratching beagle” playing pool! . I’ll look for those for our European cousins who probably have no clue of what we speak!

And the rest of us know EXACTLY!
