I was off Thanksgiving week and took over 4 full cords of seasoned to my brother to add to what he already has. He heats almost exclusively with wood. Has a gas furnace for backup. I have the woods, so I help him out. He's my brother.
Today I stopped at a gas station and filled up and saw bundled firewood by the gas pumps. See them at 7-Elevens too, but really never paid attention. Today I saw them stacked by the gas pumps and misread the price. Thought was $2.99 for about five or six pieces, which I though was fair.

Anyone trying to ban it where you are? There's a few towns in Illinois and Indiana trying to ban fireplace burning, and just north of me in Michigan a town that has. The mayor of my county seat, Goshen in Elkhart County, IN just asked for a moretorium on allowing the outside burners...the ones that are wood burning boilers that set outside. He of course cited global warming. We hit 9 degrees today, and I love wood heat, and enjoy the smell of wood heat.
Anyway, it looks like you did pretty good there. And is a good time to take trees down and cut them up and stored while the ticks and other insects are frozen, so I figure you are not late, but right on time. If you have to cut it and/or gather it, now is cold but a good time for next years seasoned all the way up to about Spring when the ground starts to thaw and get mushy for tractor tires.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
