I am avoiding my cleanings until covid if less severe!

I go in this Friday for a cleaning. I had one 6 months ago. They are pretty good about the cleanliness at the dentist d I use.

I've had a cleaning a few months ago. 3 small cavities filled today, no shots.
I go to the health dept, they seem to do a good job with PPE and procedures.
Love my dentist there, but he's leaving soon, glad he got me all fixed up in the past couple of years after a decade of neglect.

My cousin went thru that, can't remember what the problem was.

Had almost white out snow flurries today, then crystal blue skies.
So March 1st came in like a lion and went out like lamb.

I always have people at work telling me to get this get that it's not much. Well it adds up.

Yes it does!!

I added up what I spent at the grocery store last year and that was an eye opener! My goal this year is $1200 less. I'm nearly $200 ahead on that goal already, just by adding up what I put in the cart as I go a long.

Spending is like eating. Those little bits, whether it's $5 or 100 calories, add up.

I've even noticed fire wood has gone up and is 6" shorter than what I cut. That also adds up.

Are you buying logs or split wood? You should be paying by the cord if it is split. Length of the pieces wouldn't change the price of a cord but sure would be inconvenient for most wood stoves if it isn't standard 16" lengths.

helps to buy enough to go a year also better price that way

Old standard is not 16". My stove can handle 24" logs. I buy it split and they don't sell it by the cord here. It's only by the rick 4' high 8' long, while forgetting the 24" or half a cord and selling 16" 18" logs. With no 3rd dimension standard and new stoves being smaller or not deep and narrow where you can put in a lot of wood but nothing over 18" instead of 24" straight in instead of sideways.

We have a antique trash burner that heats the house here.
Fire is fully contained in the upper chamber. Was always in full use heating shop. Did need a new ash box we did one of sheet metal it is the bottom of the stove

Haven't thought about a trash burner but have always wanted to supplement the garage stove with an oil burner that could be started or increased with wood. I would probably have to build the stove instead of using my pot belly.

The railings gave me fits. It's still not done. The post at the bottom of the stairs was out of plumb and I'm struggling with it. I think I'll have it plumbed up tomorrow and the railing done.
About a week ago the microwave was turning on whenever we opened the door. Very annoying. I ordered new door switches for it, they came in tonight, I replaced the one that was bad and the microwave works now. At least something went my way today.
