  1. There's a huge savings burning wood where I live, wood might be more expensive near the bigger cities but I never spent more than $880 for wood in one year. I've spent triple plus that on oil before I had the wood stove.
  2. I got them free this year, just had to cut and split myself. I have two years worth. I usually burn 3 1/2-4 1/2 cords a year. When I last bought it was $220 a cord.
  3. I'm fortunate I got filled below $4.00 and I'm all set for the year with my wood stove and heat pump, though electric jumping up isn't helping. I guess I'll burn more wood.
  4. Similar thing happened to my brother in law and his family, they thought they could go to a shelter where it's safer and they're all closed so they're forced to hunker down in their house and pray, my wife said this is pretty scary for them and they've been through a few bad storms living down there. He's especially worried about the storm surge where he lives.
  5. All my grass came back nice and green too, been mowing every week.
  6. I have an old barometer from my grandfather, well made and is still accurate.
  7. I prefer crab over lobster, when I went to the Nordic Lodge in Rhode Island I probably ate 5lbs of crab legs, my brother in law had 5 lobsters.
  8. Also was the first good winter after a long string of duds. The Dec storm really set the tone.
  9. Heard them over the golf course Sunday, thought it was a little early but maybe they know more than us.
  10. I had a hernia and at the same time extreme back pain, nothing I tried relieved it. Once I had the hernia surgery my back pain disappeared. The doctor didn't think the hernia had anything to do with the back pain but I disagree.
  11. Looks like the good stuff will miss me by about 10 miles.
  12. What is that you're holding? Looks like a two lb cheeseburger.
  13. Most of the new homes in my area, especially the high end ones are built with propane heat, the builders must know something.
  14. I remember one in the early 70's in my area in December near Christmas, I don't remember the extent just that we had no school and the trees in our yard were iced up pretty good,
  15. I went to pick up my black water hose in my lawn and almost grabbed one of those thinking it was the hose, they do get big.
  16. I dug a Rhody and gave it to my brother, we planted it at his house and no matter how much watering we did it looked like it died, the next year it came back to life, I was surprised I thought it was dead for good.
  17. Is the epicormic ones I'm supposed to trim off?
