Musings on a convert.....

[Shari]

Back in 2009 hubby thought I was 'on a lark' installing our wood stove, gathering firewood, sawing/splitting/stacking. At one point he even said: "Enough! We have enough firewood!" (Wrong, you never have enough firewood seasoning - heh heh heh!)

Forward to present: Forecast was for night time temps in the 30's. Yesterday morning, while I was doing something else, I noticed hubby was 'busy' doing something. Low and behold, "The Negative One" was stocking up our near-the-front-door wood racks. I asked him, "What/why are you doing that?" His reply, "Didn't you see the forecast? I wanna be WARM!"

Me: "So, you admit you like wood heat?"

Him: "You bet and I'm going to be ready!"

Heh heh heh. Didn't take him long to become a believer, did it?

So, I joined him in his endeavors. We went out to the woodpile and started loading up some of our 2+ yr. cut/split/stacked firewood.

Yummy... I can't wait. I admit it too: I also like being WARM!

Great story . . . and it's good to hear from you again Shari -- I missed being razzed about not buying the blue-black Oslo . . . Dennis has done his best to give me a hard time about splitting horizontally . . . but it's not the same.

Thats a great story. There's something about wood heat that will warm the soul.

Aw, ya' missed me?

Truth be told, my computer's motherboard suffered a sudden death (no previous indications of any 'illness' either). It took me awhile to get the $$ for a new computer and then to research what computer product features I wanted.

Anyway, I'm back and prepared to harrass you at any given moment.

Hey Shari, I was thinking about you a few days ago and wondering why you weren't posting. Good to have you back again. Besides, you can take the heat off me and Jake can pester you. Seems I can't teach him even how to split wood.

Well, thanks everyone for the warm welcome back - it is appreciated! Being without a computer for a time is very 'strange'. I do believe I was going through withdrawal there for awhile.

Tis nice to be back amoungst friends!

Warm welcome back from over here too.........

 

[firefighterjake]

Guess you have a whole lot of catching up to do with all the unread threads, huh?

 

[Shari]

I've been reading a few older threads but I won't jab that blue/black issue right now except to say I did read about someone getting a new replacement blue/black for their green enamel that chipped. That's a toot for Jotul standing behind their warranty - yeah!

Don't worry, Jake, I'll get you when you least expect it! (Stated in jest of course!)
