Walking a couple of hats over to the Post Office in a no name Royal Stetson before it gets too hot for felt.

Thanks Brent!!Holy smokes! That’s my idea of the perfect classic fedora. Love it, Dave!
Akubra Banjo Patterson hat was the choice for stacking a full cord of firewood today
The stack is just shy of 6ft tall and 18ft long. Nice days work for me and the hat. View attachment 431577 View attachment 431578
Home heating oil costs are astronomical right now. My wood stove is going to be working a lot this winter.We heated exclusively with a wood stove for 15 years and my wife was ecstatic when we moved into a house with natural gas central heating. I miss cutting, splitting, and stacking wood…something deeply satisfying about it. Both you and the Akubra looked to have done a great job.

You, really, really need to get away from there...........Wood stoves and fireplaces have been outlawed in much of California, but some of the mountain counties still allow them.
WTF?Never heated with oil but it sounds expensive. Wood stoves and fireplaces have been outlawed in much of California, but some of the mountain counties still allow them. It’s a very uneven heat and it’s messy and not on-demand, but I love a wood fire. It’s also nice to have heat and be able to do a bit of cooking when the power is out.

And George Orwell wept.....Haven’t you heard? California is setting the example for the rest of the country: you’ll all be where we are in a couple years.
Three years and counting for me. This summer I’m taking another trip south scouting possible retirement locations.

I remember reading some time back about some significant air quality issues in areas of Alaska from wood burning for heat. I don’t remember all the details.. but Apparently there is a phenomenon where because of intense cold and the terrain, the smoke can get trapped in the town and essentially smoke people out. They were attempting to ban the wood burning… however not realizing it was the only heating option for a lot of lower income folks.Haven’t you heard?

Or the whole rest of the country....the "All or Nothing" approach is ridiculous.....and none of the 'ideas" are well thought out at all....did no one learn from (or pay attention to) the Texas Winter power outages???what works or is needed for Los Angeles doesn’t often work as well in rural areas where I live.
