More rain overnight. I had to meet D&L this morning early. Everything was fine until I left the ridge…
The nearer your destination, the more you’re slip-sliding away. Fortunately, though, the one time the Jeep actually left the road there was a convenient hillside to shove it back into play.
Then D&L’s truck battery crapped out without warning. By the time we got that fixed, got our business done and got back home, I was hours late for shit-shoveling and the black clouds were coming back. So I hurried through that and Landlady’s chickens, and now I’m caught up just in time for more rain.
Welcome to the cesspool of the real.
My life sucks.
Sounds like you’re having an exciting day! Sorry to hear it:-P.
On a completely unrelated note, I saw this and thought of you. Don’t know if it’s something you’d want or not, but you could always put it on your Amazon wish list.

Could be worse, though. You don’t live in Los Angeles, at least. That always makes me feel better about things.
That’s an excellent point.
And despite the inconvenience . . . that’s what Jeeps are supposed to look like!

But doesn’t anything that makes the chimney cooler (as that oven surely would) also increase creosote buildup?
Up here in the Great White North right now it’s mid morning and -25 deg C (-13 deg F) outside and there is about 25 inches of snow on the ground and I am expecting another foot by the end of next week. Tonight it should hit -34 deg C (29.2 deg F) or possibly colder and we are not yet into the February freeze. Joel it could always be worse.
BTW about the oven situation… I like that oven add-on for the wood stove that jabrwok posted. Another of the possibilities is a Coleman camp oven to sit on top of your stove. I use one when we go car camping. They work well but you have to be very vigilant. I know, camping can’t really be called roughing it with freshly baked muffins or croissants in the morning.

Oops, that should have read -29.2 deg F
