How long will that firewood last you Glenn

I heat the house with radiant heat from a rice coal stoker boiler from 1953. 30 years ago it took 20 " full" cords of wood in a wood boiler. Now about 10 ton of coal a season (Sept - May still running). So..... 30 years ago the wood in the picture would have lasted about 40 days. I got to where I hated wood. So now I only heat half of my garage/shop with wood in a Hot Blast furnace like the farm stores sell. It's pretty efficient and I only run it the 3 days I'm home so that wood will last all next season. I now enjoy wood again now that I'm not a slave to it, watching smoke roll out of a chimney makes my soul feel good .

Like today

LOL, I know what you mean, when I heated with wood only by Feb. I would have dream’s of the flames coming out of the wood furnace reaching for the wood in my hands.

Wag2+2 · May 9, 2020

That’s a lot of wood and work. I burn about 2 cords a season to keep the shop above freezing.

Gordon Misch · May 9, 2020

We used to go through 20+ cords a year heating our 1911 vintage house; wood heat only. Could feel the wind coming through the window edges across the room when it was stormy. After rehabbing, added a heat pump in series with the warm air wood furnace. That was a good combination!

I had a pretty good bribe to get good help from the kids though. The deal was once the hay and firewood were all in, we'd go water skiing as much as they could stand.

Hood River, Oregon over Odell, Oregon to the base of Mt. Hood (ancient lava flows just above the nose where the orchards stop) and then east to the mouth of the Deschutes River on the Columbia River:

Passing over the incomparable Miller Island (99% sure this was the set for Planet of the Apes):

Next year Zorra the wonder dog is old enough to get her glider rating but lack of opposable thumbs may be a limiting factor.

The huge thunderstorm that flooded the hangar Friday night only brought the Brazos from 4 feet to 8 so there were still bars to hop for our weekly Sunday morning meeting. There are those cool places you fly to,

and the people you meet there,

and then there is the treasure you find,

the things you see like where you both landed on the same spot,

and then there are your flying buddies.

Some people seem to get more challenges thrown their way in life, Steve, you are one of those people! I thought that problem was "fixed"!?

When you get the state to dig out the bar ditch and then the gas company decides to dump gravel in said bar ditch so they can park there to check there main gas line and paying no heed to me telling them it is a bar ditch for water, not a parking lot. 4 1/2" up the shop door. It got the entire hangar, shop, paint booth and office.

Went fishing with my Uncle over near McGregor, MN.

Eastbound out of BRD (yes the windscreen needs cleaning.. :???: Thin scud line on the horizon is over Lake Superior.

Lots of traffic at McGregor, no ADSB...

McGregor "terminal" instructions:

'Squitos are largish and mean. I think this one may have had a glass drill...

Trout were smallish, but lots of action:

Viking

westbound for BRD

Squito hawks swarmed the Cub after getting back home.

This toad was contemplating life from the window of the tomato pot. He spent most of the morning in deep thought.

Didn't get to fly today but got some wildlife pictures with the plane.

This was the other day. The second flight after a complete restoration and extensive mods. Just feeling it out. So Far - So Good!

Friday morning I took the J-3 out for a nostaljic trip over the countryside I flew over as a kid. The flight brought back memories of old friends and long gone people that helped shape my life. That afternoon found me in the back seat of the Champ giving my grandson an introduction to slow flight, stalls. s-turns and cross winds. Landings wer'nt pretty, but I didn't have to take control.

algonquin · Jun 15, 2020

And there you go, walked away and the airplane was reusable, great day with the grandson. I’m so looking forward to doing the same thing, &#55357;&#56397;

It's getting a stripe.... Just had to wait for the paint to fully cure before adding the decal. When can you go play?
