It is work, it is dirty, but I don't buy it so it's worth it to me. If I had to pay another man for wood, I most certainly would not heat with wood. It is expensive. Jotul's are sweet. I have a Vermont castings vigilant parlor stove. Old school. No catalytic converter, no blower. Works great.Quote:

Still like the stoves when it's cold out or the house seems clammy (wet/humid) but don't count on them for heat any more.
Nice when we lose power. Heat the house and warm up food and coffee. Thankfully my wife doesn't mind being my inside assistant when I'm up on the roof sweeping the chimney.Quote:

Yeah we're about on the same page. The Jotul stoves don't have the catalytic shit, they just burn clean, I love them. I had a vermont castings stove for many years, I liked it at the time, but Jotul is better.
Other good things. . .
The cold new snow squeaking under your boots when you walked the road back to the village. The country men in the Weinstube with nailed boots and mountain clothes, when the air was smoky and the wooden floors were scarred by the nails. Drinking together with the country men and singing mountain songs.
Jotul will go on the upgrade list, thanx for the tip.Quote:

And I found these - a blast from my childhood past! My brothers and I always fought over them and would hide them around the tree/house. We're talking the 1960s (although the elves are from the 40s/50s - my grandmother's decorations) long long before "Elf on a Shelf"

My wife cleans the chimney, gets the pine needles off the roof. She's an ex gymnast, much better on ladders and roofs than I am.Quote:

We'll have to figure out what to do about the pine needles--finding someone bonded and insured to do that kind of work is near impossible these days.
i'd think tahoe is full of climber types that would do it for cashmoney & zero liability if you provide the ladder & blower
Obviously we're going to need full frontal naked pics from her in her mid-twenties to believe this fake news...Quote:

Pecorino with Spec or Sopresata is the best
Reading Tolstoy by candlelight. He is the best goddamned writer who ever lived. And I would stand on Proust's dining room table in my hunting boots and say that.

As long as we have you on the line, what do you really think about your buddy Ezra Pound's stuff?Quote:

His wife was beautiful and let him have all the lovers he wanted in order to feed his art. They lived so cheaply that they shared a spoon. He lived on the Rue Notre Dame des Champs when I met him. People called it a street filled with genius but he was the only real genius I ever met there.
Pound could write beautifully. He could also write a lot of manure. But in those days many people wrote manure. Not many could write beautifully, certainly not as beautifully as Ezra. Even after his mind decayed and he endorsed the Fascists, there was always poetry inside the man. His mind, and therefore his poetry, was like the Mediterranean Sea, littered with treasure and wreckage. And who doesn't love the Mediterranean Sea?
Well said. Let me get the next round.Quote:

Powder days when not a lot of people are on the hill. Only had a few of those but damn it doesn't get better than that resort skiing that is.
^^^ Midweek powder is the best, many weekend warriors cannot escape work Wed/Thur and it keeps crowds down.
