Snow... we still got it. :lol: These were taken at 4:30pm

Full on agreement. Just be pessimistic/ paranoid in a practical way! :old If you pick a stove with a flat top you can cook on the top. It doesn't have to be a cook stove. Actually, cook wood stoves aren't practical from a "heat your home" standpoint.

i hate catalytic stoves. If you burn trash the catalytic thing gets gummed up. Then you have to replace it clean it... stuff! horrid. I like a non-catalytic, a non-catalytic can be EPA approved if the smoke is forced to reburn. You want an efficient stove that re-burns the smoke. A metal...

Those look nice! Thanks for the recommendation.

I am REALLY good at making my way in pitch blackness. Spouse, not so much!

So .... remember how I said that power came back on at about 10 pm or so? It went back off at midnight!!! Still off this morning... came back on at about 1pm. We bought some new headlamps... the ones we had were way too old and busted....

And.... POWER!!! Wahaha! I am thinking that tomorrow i will: 1. Find all my power banks and charge them up, and 2. Try to remember where I put that nice oil lamp. I think I remember where the oil is. Hopefully power and HEAT popped on for the places I manage... but it is warm enough, I...

Yeah... some things do not run well in the cold. One winter we were out of power and it was deeply cold. How cold? No idea... can't remember the number. I just remember seeing our neighbor SUPER bundled up, hunched over his generator.. with a hairdryer plugged INTO the generator and pointed...

:lau I USED to have bright oil lamps... little kids broke a few, whatever was left i put into storage... humm... maybe I should find at least one and bring it out of storage. "Baby" is now 16. We have candles and olive oil votive lamps (votive lamps for the prayer corner). Votive lamps...

And! A new power outage west of town... more people out of power than MY area that is out of power... so yep, they get ahead of us... and maybe we will have power by morning. I should have mentioned that spouse was in town today for work ... brought home 2 hot pizzas for our evening meal...

Plow guy is here now. Nice sized skid steer with a huge plow on the front. :lau When I was talking to him over the phone... to see if he would be able to get us cleared out today... he was saying that he thought the snow was much too wet for him to get it with his plow truck. Kids were...

Blah, blah, blah..... Saw an emergency flashlight was out of batteries 2 days back... and I did not immediately find replacements. So yeah, today we are out of power. God clearly loves the incompetent... because the boys and I had a huge hot and hardy meal at noon. The power went out at...

All the rain has finally shifted to snow. We are right at freezing... but supposed to keep getting colder.

The sunset ... depending on when you want to start counting... takes a couple of hours. Actually.... currently the sun doesn't get all that high. It just eases up over the mountains in the south east..... skims along the mountain tops, then slides back down south west. Google tells me...

What for? Neighbors complaining that you keep breathing?

Photos from this past Tuesday. Beach in town. Yeah, 1:30 in the afternoon.... sun going down.

Cutest lamb photos! :clap

Yes, exactly..FLAVOR! Also, often sugar and a milk product! :drool

But.... then you have to put the hot water in your mouth... and then swallow! :ep

I use a huge feeder... it wouldn't fit. And... the coop doesn't have a door. The coop and run are mostly predator proof, so it is all one area.... I can't push them into the door-less coop and then lock them in there. But last night it was raining... and so they every so often would...
