It is cold again and it bugs me to have the oil dragon roaring so the fire is burning at my house again. I wore my winter coat again today.

I let mine go cold. I'm sitting in my RV far enough south so I didn't get into the tornados but I did listen to an 11 hour thunderstorm and the pitter patter of 8 inches of rain overnight.. Lots of damage here on the Gulf Coast,

Where exactly are you Fred. I haven't heard from some friends who are currently down that way. Pan handle of Florida somewhere.
 
I'm in Gulf Shores Alabama only about 7 -10 miles from Pensacola which is underwater. If they're over there they could be in trouble. People are being rescued from their attics. I just heard the official report. 24 inches of rain in 26 hours.

Same here! Will it never end? By the way, I built a log bucking stand out of 2x4's almost identical to what I see you have in the background. Works great and relieves some stress on the old back.
 
I'm not sure about the splitter, I traded a couple guns for it and cash. It is a 6.5 Briggs and starts right up. If I run across the manual I will tell you the name.



Better photo of splitter.

I'm down to around two fires a week now. Mostly for domestic hot water, and to take the chill off once in a while.
