The thermostat is set on 64 and the thermometer indicates that it's 70 degrees inside the house,....so the furnace thinks it's July. It's asleep.

My Toolmaker inspired heat exchanger seems to be working pretty good.

My goal is to make it to Valentines day on 400 gallons of propane.

We'll see.

Had one of these in my first house, they work great.

I've seen those around. They want big money for them these days.

Make one. While you have time before the cane starts growing.


We pray our sights be straight
and our aim be true
We pray for no pain
to the game we pursue
We thank you Lord
for this land
We thank you for the sights
from our stands
We pray for safety, one and all
We pray we may return next fall
