Record temp today. Feels damn good. It's kind of strange to have our annual leaf pick-up in 80 degree weather. Plus I've got 2 ricks of firewood being delivered Friday. Doubtful that I'll be burning any for the next few weeks. This is not a complaint.
I live in the middle of a woods. I supplement with purchased firewood when my business keeps me to busy, but mostly I cut my own wood. Good exercise for me.
I haven't visited that part of Canada. I lived in Seattle back in the 80's and British Columbia was part of our territory. Probably made at least 4 dozen trips mainly to Vancouver. Made it to the Expo 86 several times too. Also caught several Canuck hockey games.

I actually enjoy cutting firewood but I don't have a truck to haul it back to the house.
We had a Warm Morning stove in our front room. when i woke up every cold morning i would haul ass to that stove. mom had a wood burning stove in the kitchen where i would many times play behind it in the winter. i still have a round scar on top of my hand where i came in contact with one of the oven door springs. i can still smell the kerosene and kindling from our house and the neighbors when everyone was lighting fires. if i was outside playing i knew that meant it was close to suppertime. life on the troublesome. 😀
Haha, i just posted about the warm morning stove we had in ky, before i saw your post. that looks identical to the won we had.My grandparents had a Warm Morning coal stove right in the front room. It's job was to heat the entire house and it looked a lot like this. When I was ready to go into the army I visited my grandparents in Pike Co and met up with some old buddies for one more good time before Uncle Sam had me. One was Rick Kestner who played football for Belfry and UK. He was really good people and made it to the NFL
We took off to Williamson, WVA for some refreshments because it was wet and Pike was dry. About 2:00 AM we headed up the road and one of my buddies, Cecil Hunt, was so drunk he couldn't make it home. So we decided to bring him up to grandpa's house and find a bed for him. The only bed was a roll away bed and we rolled it up to the coal stove, stripped ole Cecil of his clothes and covered him with quilts to keep warm.
He finally stirred the next morning about 10:30 AM after grandpa had poured a couple of buckets of coal in it and opened up the damper. The fire was roaring and was hot hot. Cecil woke up sweating and burning up with grandma's prayer group staring at him as they sit for their weekly prayer meeting grandma hosted. Cecil was confused and still drunk when one of the sisters grabbed him by the arm to pull him out of bed. What happened after that the Lord only knows because I ran out of the house down the hill. There are a million stories centered around the coal stove back on the hill.
Looks like it could be used as a bottle opener to me.
Vancouver is mostly awesome despite being home to one of the worst areas in North America on East Hastings. It's a literal ****ing homeless encampment rampant with wide open hard drug use.
This morning's haul. Life is good.
I didn't know that. What a shame.
I live in Paradise. So all you dudes eat your heart out!
Also I think that I am going to like our new Canuck friend.
I thought Mr Peabody had done hauled it away.
He's five miles away from wherever he is.

Now you know the rest of the story.
I've always liked the 4-6-2 Pacific's...although I'm not sure if the Pennsy's are called Pacifics's.
Grew up with one of those Warm Morning coal stoves too. Four boys in one bed under about five heavy quilts.
Had about a 14 inch diameter tree limb break off Saturday in a big windstorm here. Been out today cutting that thing down. Chainsawing to beat the band. Hard on a 77 year old dude.

Don't think so Mr. tapemaster, to light weight, it' aluminum.
He did Mr. starchief, I drive out to where it used to be every once in a while. Heading towards Ohio Co. you make a right before you get to the Green River bridge!!
Looking forward to it too!!!!
Good evening D, had a great day today.
I had two of my friends ask if I could find their property pins for them and Hector the detector went hunting today. I had good luck Friday finding a pin and was hoping for the same today. My first stop I found all three of the pins, in about 30 minutes and the second stop found the pin in about 5 minutes, plus I found a 1955 wheat back penny, so life is good. Another bonus was a chunk of lead weighing about 5 lbs. largest piece of lead I have ever found!!! It will make some good jigs, so I will give it to my friend!!!!
I have one on ignore that has dropped in, I hope I can take him off ignore, we'll see.
I want to ask the D, to pray for a friend of mine. He was sheriff here at one time, but he decided to run for another office. Since around May we have lost a sheriff, a deputy sheriff and yesterday his brother passed away, just please keephim in your prayers!! Thanks D!!

We owned one of these. Burned coal and wood:
Also one of these bad boys below. It still sits at my ex mother in-law's (RIP) place and is in excellent condition. They switched over to central heat/air about 25 years ago.
Can't find a picture of the potbelly we owned.
One must pay attention with dampers and especially flues. I've seen a flue pipe turn red several times. Gotta pay attention. No, I don't miss those old days at all.

Oh, a new season of "Ancient Aliens" beams up Friday night! 👽👽👽👽👽
I see gassy is back in the political thread. Hope my ban is over next.
What corruption...even the posters on a message board are opposed...
Welcome, blubo. You are a good edition to our group.
This morning's haul. Life is good.
Did you and the car wash owner come to an understanding, or are you still going early and beating him there?
Huh, that is from the blind guy Austin keeps tripping at that "blind corner"... 🤭
