Thanks Jan. Dave does a great job describing the stove. Really useful information

Thanks, Jan. Maybe we can stop thinking about Zombies for a while [Zombie Killer knives]. ISIS seems to be the current Zombie squad we need to worry about, so a machete might be just what we need.
Got an email on this today
Compact machete for plane or boat.
We got them out last night and I am starting with #1. Donnie is going with #4&5. These are the two showing blacksmithing and knife making

I know the persimmons have served you well. seen any caterpillars?
The darker the woolly caterpillar’s coat, the more severe the winter will be. If there is a dark stripe at the head and one at the end, the winter will be severe at the beginning, become mild, and then get worse just before spring.
Anyone else tell weather from the signs in their area?
