Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...

Hey, where you going without ME? Meanie.I'm gonna be gone for a few days....y'all be good now, ya hear?
Bought much stuff at farmers' market.
Went to nearby local "Pub and Eatery" and bought a reuben sandwich; hadn't had one in years.
I ask you all...how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
This winter's supply plus next years' supply is in place. Left side is green, right side is seasoned for this year. Bottom right is some well seasoned (leftover from last year) that I forgot to pull out before it got covered up. Oh well.

I had completely forgotten about the reuben. They were good but pastrami on rye with cabbage borscht was my favorite. Staying away from meats that have nitrates in them now.

Hi Freebird, I have a wood storage question. I'm on the California coast so we just get rain, no snow. I'm looking at your wood shed and wondering if when you get rain does the wood get too wet? In the past we stored the wood in our garage but I've heard that's not such a smart idea. So now I'm planning on going to a tarp and just bring in a little wood at a time but have heard that a wood shed is a nice way to go. Hence the question about wet wood in the rain, especially the driving rain one gets in storms around here....(snip)...

I'm utterly and completely exhausted, with all the physical exertion involved with getting the house ready to list.
Chill baby. Since I know you don't drink red wine, my next best suggestion is for Frank to give you a foot massage

That feline looks like it's just suffered a debilitating spinal injury. Are you really supposed to be able to bend bend them like that or do they keep trying to snap back to their original configuration?Won't be long before the cats are flaked out around the Jotul.
When I dine out at local restaurants I can have yummy fresh ocean fish or other authentic Hawaiian cuisine, but I'm frequently tempted by Reubens which must have been shipped across a half-dozen time zones and stored for weeks in a freezer. I'm pretty sure our local chefs have never seen a NYC or Pittsburgh Reuben. But I console myself with the knowledge that the benefits of the sauerkraut must neutralize all the nitrates and most of the calories.Staying away from meats that have nitrates in them now.
Have you been using felt-footed furniture glides to help you pull & push the furniture around the wide-open areas?I'm utterly and completely exhausted, with all the physical exertion involved with getting the house ready to list.

Today we moved the very large, antique solid oak dining table that I was using for a desk, out of my study. This is the heaviest oak dining table I have ever seen in my entire life. It weighs a TON (not literally, but it might as well). Not only was this table extremely heavy (did I mention it is heavy? ), it essentially filled my small study and had to be maneuvered on end through both tight spaces and three doorways to get it out into the main living space. At one point I was seriously thinking of getting out my saw and making kindling out of it just to end the pain, but finally it was in place in the dining room.
The heavy solid oak dining table was a wonderful, wonderful desk for me for many years but after I use it for staging my house, it is not going to go north with me.
Then, we made a Good Will run and went to Home Depot to buy what we need for the next few days. After returning home, I got to move some of my other furniture into my study, re-connect my computer and network once it was on the smaller desk, and roll up and remove the rug.
If/when I move again, anything The Salvation Army won't take stays with the house...

Looks like you are in luck. The NO Goodwill website doesn't list TV's as a "we don't want" item. Wish our local Goodwill would take my old sets...Walt, I am glad to hear that GoodWill took your TV. I have an old 19" CRT TV that I want to donate but wasn't sure if they would take it.

We just gave our "working" old CRT TV to Salvation Army. Our son had been using it and the audio was a problem I think. But they also have a place to take electronics that are at the recycle stage. So if your TV isn't that great I think they have an alternative way to get rid of it.Walt, I am glad to hear that GoodWill took your TV.

And yes, that is a very unusual and spectacular centerpiece!
