Yesterday my wife put in some firewood in the house and was muttering after a pile of wood fell on her foot. Last night I tried to get my fire going at 1 AM, but it went out after I went back to sleep and work up at 3 AM and it was 61 in the house. Fooey with that, so I started burning coal, and now at 6:35 AM it is 10 degrees outside and now 78 degrees inside, a 17 degree rise in 3-1/2 hours!
Anyway this is what she muttered. Does anyone want to continue the conversation...
I never dropped coal on my foot so hard it hurt
I never got a splinter from coal
I never had to work with coal a dozen times

I stand there with a smile on my face while coal rolls out the back of the hopper bottom and up the conveyor belt into the bin!
