There are mixed reviews on this, but it was misused. It’s basically a mat of sawdust (my description, not technically). Lay down on a path after the ice has formed, and not when it’s still snowing. It gives you traction.

The animals around here would use it as a bathroom, but someone might be able to use it at their home.

I’ve read that Seramas are the only chicken light enough to raise quail. Have you considered using yours for that job?

I've thought about it but never tried it. I wonder if they would make the quail more chicken like?

I think if someone is into keeping quail around, it’s worth having a few Serama to brood, and perhaps get quail to go broody too.

Furnace is back up and running again. A clogged nozzel and blocked air flow were the culprits. We're now $150 lighter but I've been educated a little and we'll be able to take care of that on our own in the future. He said that now we should have better fuel economy and the furnace is running quieter than it used to.

just make sure the nozzles are the same size when you go get one, it needs to be replaced at least once a winter, 60/90, 80/90 marked on the nozzle top)and so on, you can always go a little smaller like a 50/90 75/90 and so on but never go larger, it changes the spread of the cone and can burn a hole in the combustion chamber if ran for a winter and believe me, c.chambers aren't cheap

Been feeling like this..forever. Seems like it anyway .
On a positive note,been able to catch up on movie watching for sure! Haven't watched so much in a long time & doing a lot of computering, yes, that is a technical word, hahaha , the things we do to pass the time. Then we wonder, "where has all the time gone?".
Hope you are keeping warm & well Sharron.

Thanks for that. He did show me the numbers on the side of the nozzle for future reference. We've lived here almost 6 years but never had oil heat before. We had no idea that was supposed to be changed every year

No school for the kiddos tomorrow.
Sad thing is it will be too cold to play in the snow.

Our schools are cancelled for the next two days. Nobody is messing around with this cold!
