I posted this on another thread of my new stove review, but thought it appropriate here......The Perfect Picture. I am prejudice of course, but my grandkids make me happy. Here are 2 of them first thing in the morning after staying all night with Mimi and Papa. The caption reads "Papa, get the stove going, we are cold."

Very cute...Might be time to get them a wider stool!!LOL
Eatonpcat, Yeah, That stool is for Papa when he is tending the stove. I had to take a picture when I looked over there and they were both huddled up in front of the stove, both on that one little stool. :)
 
great picture

Yes Dennis, I love them more than I can describe. And they return it more than I deserve. Today was a great day with my grandson Trent. I traded my 4 wheeler, the beast that almost killed me, for a Polaris Rzr, much safer, with role cage, seat, seat belt and steering wheel. It is like driving a jeep. My son and I went 4 weeling in it and his Rzr, for the first time today.......what a great day. I feel like ME again. Trent road with me part of the time and was more excited to have his Papa back than I was to be there! Can't tell you how good it felt :) I will get some more pictures later.

Good to hear you're back in the saddle again chief. That has to be a great feeling for your son too.
 
Very happy to hear things are returning more or less to normal Steve. . . .
 
Thanks everyone. I feel better everyday and yesterday was a really good day! Here is a couple more pics, one before I got it dirty and the other with my grandson riding with me.

my niece loves to put wood in thestove in a cabin we stay at sometimes, its a real rustic log cabin with a dirt floor and a barrel stove. half fallen down even, no class a chimney, just black pipe of some short all the way out.

fun place to warm up anyhow.
