Happy New Year everyone.

 

[Hinerman]

Happy New Years and goodnight...

 

[Locust Cutter]

Goodnight everyone!!!

 

[67L36Driver]

A happy and prosperous new year to all you midlanders!

Temp is down to 65 in the house. I think Wife will chose warmth over smell when she gets up.

Only problem is my woodpile is covered in snow.

And, the blind squirrel found a stray nut on New Years Eve.


Don't get too awful excited as the above is in cents not dollars.[emoji848]

Found out that my cousin and his family from over in Chanute had a tragedy of a new years eve yesterday. their 16 year old daughter had a bloodclot that caused her to be rushed into surgery where they worked for hours unsuccessfully to save her. Totally unexpected, blindsided by this, I ask simply for your thoughts and prayers for them as they start this challenging new year. Having just lost my 25 year old SIL last July , My heart has been up in my throat, as I know first hand that it can be very hard to make sense of these things. So friends just let it be known that my resolution for the year is to seek the Lords will rather than mine own, never let the little moments slip by being concerned about my own wants and frivolous desires, to be forgiving and gracious to all who pass me by, and to take it all in as it comes, savouring every little hug and kiss, smile and tear, for he alone knows the day and the hour when we all will be called home to glory. So pray hard, forgive always, love long, and you will be Blessed this year my friends!

Prayers have been sent to provide the family strength during this trying time.

Your resolution is one that fits all of us. I will do my best to follow your lead.

That my friend was a tough read for this New Years morning, but not ours to question.

Good day to all!

 

[jetmd]

Morning Kenneth and crew...

We'll be thinking of your family. Very sad, indeed. You're right, we have to live to the fullest of our potential because tomorrow is never promised.

True story:
We had been in our new house only seven years when Barbara was determined to have a former neighbor clean the chimney. Imagine a man working alone on a tall ladder to remove and install a 150# chimney cover and after he rodded it out to find less than a handful of dust on the hearth.

I bet we didn't have twenty days of burn time total.

I could not convince her that it couldn't possibly need cleaning yet.

I doubt it has twenty days on it since.

Only worry is wasp nests as we have a screen all the way around the open area.

After getting completely hosed, the splitter was a solid block of ice this morning..
Fuel system and all.
Been 2 hours thawing and drying..

Is it froze enough to get to the field.

 

[Hinerman]

In the Apple Store playing with their stuff. All meaningless if you think about Chad's family. Later...

 

[Hedgerow]

Not sure yet..
Brother in law just brought his splitter over for the same reason..
Of course he had been storing it in a field..
Made a mess on the shop floor of course.. Lol.

 

[Hedgerow]

Off to Springfield now..

That season is passed.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Had to walk away from a project. Wasn't cooperating. Someone was going to get a BFH. Probably not what was needed.

Been there..

My back up wood supply is crap. It has been sitting nine years and turned half to punk. All the rain and snow didn't help either.

Been using a scout hatchet to whittle it down to burnable and end up with sticks. [emoji849]
