Woodstove Issues
Our woodstove decided to start 'leaking' stuff.
For some reason when it snowed/rained,
a slow drip would come down 20 foot long pipe
carrying black nasty stuff along with it.
Creosote?
And then a leak snuck out that metal plate, on the ceiling.
Black nasty crud. On a white surface.
Joy.
Well, we have four days of snow and rain coming.
Which meant, more of these surprises.
So.. Today?
Clean the woodstove day!
(hopefully, we got the problem solved)

It's 36 degrees out, cold and windy, dark, and the wood stove just barely got cranked up (cleaned again today) and snow is on the way.
A nice yummy lamb stew is on the stove for tonight's dinner..
Sound cozy? It is, but after three days of sunshine I want more!!!!!!! Rats.. 4 days of winter are on the way... oh well...
Oh.. and get this...
For some reason the natives are partying.. Don't ask me why!
Sami has her playlist going.. Shania Twain with 'Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under' is blaring down there in the family zone.
And guess what? Dick and the kids are playing poker. Yep.
5 Card Draw.
I guess we can call it a lesson in math.. It is a school night after all!
Well.. to be honest.. the kids are recovering from colds (sick Fri, Sat, Sun, Monday).. Sami went to school today and Jake stayed home... he returns tomorrow... so, partying is a good sign - they are healthy again!
OH.. The Playlist changed to 'I'm Having a Party! A Party of Two'. Another Shania song!
Have a cozy night!
