Oh, this room I think I wallpapered when I built the cabin, around 1990.
Don’t think I’d want your underwear in that case.
But what am I not doing for my wife?

So, do you do away with any firewood in these temps? I think I avarage about 150 pounds a day right now (60-70kg). The boiler is roaring 6 hours a day non-stop to warm up the storage tanks (drafty house with basement + a few degrees above freezing in the garage).

I should think something similar, make a fire in the morning around 5-7 am and one around 3 pm.
But good to have a reason to go out with the car to the lake, and make a fire in the stove.

Kristijan would blend in anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon. He could just explain he has a thick Mountain accent.

Thought for the day. John Donne.
‘No Man is an Island’
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man’s death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

I have snowboarded and skiied most of my life. 20 plus years of instructing at Mission Ridge Resort. But have retired at 65 years now of age. That was 5 years ago now.
Riding behind a car on the streets what fun. Snowmobils even more fun.

Everybody is getting ready for the big storm. All of us that live on the western side of the state in Michigan will be getting slammed. 2 ft plus of system snow and then Lake Effect with steady 40 to 50 mph winds with gust up to 70. At least we won’t be getting the frigid temps. The lake may be bringing a lot of snow but the water is still warm enough to keep temps up in the teens and twenties F. I am totally prepped but it will take a while to clear the drifts off my road. With those kinds of winds and a open field to my west, we have seen 5 and 6 foot drifts over our way in and out of here. No doubt about a white Christmas.
