YIKES! Yup, days like that I go back in the house and take a nap....

Hope today goes better for you!
 
Nasty, but most of us have experienced those same type of days. Hope this all gets better fast.
 
Ouch! I'd be having a beer or five after that day. As my BILs dad famously (and hilariously) says whenever something breaks: "Nothing's any GD good anymore! Everything's a piece of Crap!!"
 
ya it wasnt fun at all %-P so get up this morning with plan B..having a coffee and all of a sudden the hydro go's out :shut:

man another great day coming up!!

but gotta love the woodstove :) anyways its only down for about half hour but when it came back up took out the internet :bug: ;-P

which turned out to be a good thing as i got a whack of wood done today with NO other problems :cheese:

this was around noon and kept going till pretty much dark...

So I guess I'm confused. I'm trying to figure out how these things are abnormal? You are talkin like it is unusual to have things breaking down and getting nothing done! Seems to be the story of my life! Not always but it seems that way...
 
what's this "bike" business all about? you know, Bike, short fort Bicycle. ya know, the two wheeled vehicle. Did I miss something here?

Loon looks like you had a good day, how much wood do you burn in a normal heating season.

10 for the the farmer couple across the road and 5 for us...
