Good day fellow rock burners! Step inside, grab a cup & we'll fill it with the best Jo you've had this week. Ahhhh, nice. Waffles and crisp bacon for breakfast. Of course maple syrup but also a special treat.... Home made butter! Enjoy.

I trust you all made it through this last snow. The roads were slippery for a day, but back to normal now.

Nothing much to report. That's probably a good thing!

Hug your loved ones & forward we go.

Good morning. We survived another week up on this sheet of ice. We got a foot of snow on top of the ice, and then some rain yesterday....which has now frozen. I am about ready to start wearing broomball shoes.

Today I am headed to one of the coldest spots in the Northeast - Saranac Lake. Both of my boys are in a hockey tournament there. Hopefully I still have all of my fingers and toes when I return tonight.

Good morning people and how are things? Very good choice this morning Freddy!
Yes It's been a very strange weather rollercoaster ride the past 2 weeks but I think we all survived

, Not much going on this weekend except I need to finish wiring my dash cams I installed in the truck finally after almost 2 years

,and take the dog to the groomers this morning.

Mornin',
Best coffee in the Northeast, Freddy, thank you! Daytona race this afternoon. Only other thing happening is the 'blue lady' dance.
"5" more weeks 'til Spring. Have a good week-end, all.
Cheers

Good morning Gentlemen

Another week goes down in February, I can’t say I would try to go back... seems to be a lot of wildlife moving around and I hope they are telling us that Spring could be near.

Everything is formed up for concrete in the coal bin under the porch so today the Big Dig turns into the Big Pour... Scotty wants to pour the whole wall in one day to try to eliminate any cold joints and make the strongest job. This will be along day.

Project - CJ5 was moved to its new home yesterday courtesy of Brittany’s father. It is now in the driveway and will head under roof of Sunday. No big plans immediately but over the course of time I want to make it look like it just rolled off the assembly line in Toledo in 1965.

Have a great week!

Good Morning All!!!
We closed on a new to us fixer upper house two weeks ago in the middle of the coldest that Northeast Mississippi gets. About 24 F. The place had one wall mounted blue flame natural gas heater on the wall in the living room. There is no chimney except for a little 3 inch vent pipe for the NG fired water heater in a closet sized space off the carport. Unless you have a natural gas central heat or want a fireplace the houses round here ain't built with chimneys!!!

I was a little dubious about whether or not it's 30K rating would heat the house. It surprised me. The back bedroom stayed cooler than I like so I moved a little free standing unvented gas heater from the needs to be rebuilt greenhouse to the middle bedroom hallway. That did it!!!

I have no access to coal unless I can talk the local Tractor Supply into ordering me some. Next problem is installing a flue pipe through the flat roof. The hardest part will be finding a coal stove in Mississippi. The local fireplace stores don't have anything in stock but could order one. However they are extremely proud of them and charge proud prices plus proud shipping.

My next option is--- GASP--- COUGH--- a small wood burning stove. I know that's grounds for elimination from the group but I don't have too many other options and I absolutely refuse to do wood pellets.

Anyway our flowers are up and blooming and the hardwood trees are budding out. According to the calendar it
is time to start the seeds in the green house for transplant in two weeks. Hang in there guys.

I miss my VC and the blue ladies dancing.

Till later. Retired Reverend Larry Coutlee

May be able to get the bike out of the basement through the snow and ice thats left and do some riding today. Hope the mountain roads have melted some. Don't need any more of this!

Good morning everyone.

Thanks for the coffee and waffles Freddy, good choice. Cold and windy here today. I had the thermostat down at about 62 yesterday because of the warm weather. When I got up this morning, it was about 62 in the house. I moved the thermostat up closer to 70 and went out in the garage to look at the Axeman.

It must have been sleeping all night, it was running but the stack was down to 150 and the return water temp was 80! I actually thought the fire might be out, but it soon started pushing all the temperatures up and all is well. This thing still amazes me how little it is working and still heating everything. Today is day 6 on this ash pan, maybe it will be full today?

Hummm,,, Kind of like new houses around here! Dont't worry Larry, the coal brotherhood should be able to find you a good stove and figure out a way to get it down there.

Your man to talk to for getting coal to the furtherest reaches of non-coal country is LehighanthraciteMatt. He managed awhile back to get a load to a pleasure boat on the far left coast!
