I had intended to post pictures of the rhondy, but when I tried to import the ones I wanted off the wife's computer they wouldn't. After checking into why, I found the drive I stored my photos on was full. Yesterday I went wood cutting, I wouldn't have bothered, but I could use some oak for those really cold nights in the winter. My father really likes to use oak, I don't blame him, it is a really good species for home heating. My father found this source of oak at a fair price from a farmer from church, he has cut four cords now and plans to keep cutting until he runs out of room to store it. Finding oak to cut is not an every day thing and he knows it.

I have plenty of wood stored already, when I moved here some 13 years ago I didn't have any wood and worked feverishly to stock up from any source, the forest service was the prime source. Now I am well stocked and could go several or more years with out cutting. I also have better insulated the house and put in better windows since moving here which reduced the demand for wood. We have the provisions for electric baseboard heat, but the breakers have never been turned on all the time we have been here.

We are still cleaning house around here, my wife had a yard sale but now it seems to be more cluttered than before. The stuff she piled up for the sale was stored in the barn, a pick up load that didn't sale went to Goodwill, but now there are some items that need to be put some where until we decide what to do with it, ebay comes to mind.

We took everything out of the wash room and painted it, that really was useful for clearing out some excess stuff that was in there, now I need to go through the radio room and do a similar number on the stuff in there.

Life is pretty good right now.
