Seems something one doesn't make at home. Even if it doesn't accurately predict weather it might be fun to look at as it changes, like watching clouds.

Depends on the cinnamon. I always thought cinnamon was cinnamon. McCormicks from the grocery store. Until .... the mother of a friend of DD1's (who we were visiting in Illinois) took me to a spice store. They had 8 or 10 different cinnamons if I recall. I do recall that after smelling all of...

It is also one of the best knots to know. It can be fairly easily untied after being under load. This is not true of many knots. The bowline is the "rabbit comes out of the hole, goes around the tree and back down the hole" knot. Often what you get today, we get tomorrow.

It got up to 33°F here today

That looks WONDERFUL!!!!!! That is bad news. But being resourceful as you are, I suspect it will be remedied quickly.

You went WAY overboard on your weight loss diet!!!!! I Like the two mottos on the wall, words to live by,

Oh, I would rather save walnut for a sawmill ;) Not that I have one, or have need of one. DD2 really likes Katsudon Yes, though it may be different in Germany. Certainly it wouldn't be the same balls as we have in the USA since we haven't learned the metric system yet. Wow! You find the most...

What then is the proper "name" for people of your church? I know the official name of the church is not the Mormon Church but I always thought the members were known as Mormons.

Yep, if I have any, which is rare given Dutch Elm Disease killed most of them off here, I stop as soon as the piece is small enough to fit in the stove rather than the smaller size I usually use.

5 years and no cracking yet. wow Do they have places near you in Germany where you can rent a splitter for a day? The vertical splitting type like was mentioned? Yes and with some woods like elm it is the only way. Elm is really fibrous and twisty, nearly impossible to split in half either by...

Yes, all. I won't burn pine or other sappy woods. They burn too fast and create creosote in the pipe and chimney as the stove cools down. But I know that some areas, like the PNW don't have much in the way of hardwoods so you are stuck with what you have. Make sure you clean the pipe and...

Is that a trick question? I will guess that you, Jared, got a wood stove. Am I right? Do I win a prize? ;) I need to replace the gaskets on my wood stove today. I've had them since spring but of course there is no high priority to get it done in the spring or summer. I will still be using...

You get to pay for Medicare as well.

You can get them together. The "space them out" advice is from early on when the Covid vaccine was new. I got both together last fall. Will again as soon as the Covid vaccine hits our local pharmacy. My guess is you had him in your phone's "frequently called" list and someone called using his...

Put som eyes on that and you have a very sad Jack o'lantern!! Great shot, thanks very much for posting it!!

Overcast here too but I'm tangentially so far north and east of the path there won't be anything to see anyway.

Also true.

True, some places are overpopulated and have horrible air quality. Other places are sparsely populated and an efficient wood or pellet stove isn't going to cause much damage.

Fireplaces are notoriously inefficient and polluting. They were great until wood burning stoves were invented and then became common 200 years ago. Were I you (or maybe if you were me ;) ), I (you) would install a wood or pellet insert. They are also substantially less polluting than an open...

IF (and that is a BIG if) I recall correctly, there was a discussion some long time ago that you could get a pellet stove. Did that ever happen?
