Good afternoon all,
Didn't get here before lunchtime, got a load of Lehigh bagged hauled this morning, and now have some cleaning up to do after the crew finished putting the roof on the addition of my coal boiler room. Now I have the wiring, ceiling, insulation and all that kind of stuff to do before I can hang pipe and install the boiler. But we are making progress...
11/20/21 Pre Thanksgiving coffee!

Thanks for keeping the coffee going! Another busy day..... 4 hours to help a neighbor with a one hour job. Sheesh! He's got snow treads and an oil change now. Then, my carpenter buddy stopped in and we worked on the new porch for the afternoon. Then Scotty came by & we out the WoolWax to his plow truck. In my spare time I got the snowblower mounted onto the John Deere. Good thing that Thanksgiving is almost here. I have a lot to be thankful for!
Peace, out.

I'll dunk the sock with used grounds in a pot of hot water and settle. We visited some friends up North today that I hadn't seen since early in the year. His wife is a cook without compare. Best chili I EVER had along with other things. The chili ingredients list must have had 25 items. My tiny pile of 2.8 tons of nut has been seriously knocked down in only 3 weeks. It looks like another year of quick burn coal. All the better deals on bagged are a good haul away. I will need at least another ton to make it through. Have a fine Thanksgiving, all!

I do seem to chew through the Fine Leftovers here! As usual,it's again a little hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost upon Us!! Perhaps a "Special Thanksgiving Coffee" may be in order!! It might come in handy as You "Give Yourself Da' Bird"!!
