Seriously. Why do people who are sick, literally throwing up, come in to work? They are making it miserable for themselves, causing themselves to take longer to get better due to not resting as well as possibling infecting the rest of us – thanks.
GO HOME!
We’ve burned through about 4 cords of wood, I’d say we have 1/2 cord left. It should get us through most of March depending on the temperatures we get. Next year I’ll definitely shoot for 5 cord to make sure we don’t run out. I hate running the oil.
I have started cutting next years wood, so far only 1/4 cord into it though. We have 3 willow trees that need to be taken down. I haven’t measured them yet but my guess is that they are about 1/2 cord per tree. Couple that with a couple other small ones on our property and that should give us 2 cords of wood just from our land. So I will need to source 3 cords worth elsewhere. I need to clear my parent’s leachfield and surrounding area of trees. Not sure how many are out there, but from remembering years past when I saw it there were quite a few 6-10″ trees on the land. I’d guess they’re probably more like 8-12″ now and quite tall. With any luck I should have a solid 2 cords of wood out there. I might be able to get the last cord from their land, if not I have access to a friend’s land on his turkey farm and shouldn’t have any problem getting the wood there.
One year at a time, right? That’s what I keep telling myself anyway.
Our son is now cutting his molars. I feel so bad for him because I can see the pain in his eyes and feel it in my ears. He’s taking it like a trooper for the most part though. He has also started to say our animals names…not very well, but enough to be recognizable. I’m a proud father.

Here is a wonderful article on wood gas cars. Well worth the read if you are into interesting technologies, history and conservation of our planet and it’s resources.
