Re: Florida State Seminoles
If US households overall are expected to see a 54% increase in their heating bills this winter, why are they saying that the midwest could get "particularly pinched" if their bills are only going up an estimated 49%? It seems like they're getting off easy...

Re: Florida State Seminoles
I don't even know how he got wind of it, maybe he was looking at a house out in a country a few years ago, but somebody told Logan that an old pecan tree had gotten struck by lightning or some shit and that somebody had cut up big ass pieces of trunk and limbs and he could get whatever he wanted, so we went out there and loaded up the back of his truck with pecan wood. That shit is dense, even a regular sized log took both of us to lift and roll into the back of his truck. Then when I used some for a fire at home, that shit burned like a furnace and lasted for hours. So go cut you a pecan tree, motherfuckers...

Re: Florida State Seminoles
I like them. The environmentalists hate them. But I like them. If I still lived in Massachusetts, I would be using a wood fireplace or a cast iron stove in the winter.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
I'd like to stove in your head with some cast iron this winter, and then throw you in a fireplace...

Re: Florida State Seminoles
as a kid, my old man decided we were going to heat our home with a wood stove.
so this time of year, every day after school, we go to my uncles place and cut wood, then we had a sledgehammer and a wedge where I was expected to break it up - so 2-3 weeks of cutting wood, another 2-3 weeks of splitting wood - oak and maple mostly. that would normally get us enough wood to last thru the winter. During the winter I had to carry enough wood to make sure we had enough to burn thru the night.
Our house was a ranch style home and the wood stove was at one end of the house where the living room, kitchen and my parents bedroom. My room was at the other end of the house and I can remember waking up with the windows covered with ice in the inside, my stereo knobs frozen and just layered in blankets. I was 15/16 maybe, and looking back I'm amazed that was just normal for me. but I do know that I was never more motivated to go to college than when I had that sledge hammer in my hand splitting 2 foot diameter cut logs, and I hated my old man for us not having enough money to use the gas furnace.
Of course I had friends who parents had a tractor with a hydraulic wood splitter and they didn't have a wood stove, they had a fireplace, so wood cutting was a fall pastime like picking apples or carving pumpkins. It was fun and everyone loves a fire in the fireplace right? my dad has a job and isn't an alcoholic fuckers, I could tell them what to do with that fireplace poker.

I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
In his retirement, my grandfather got a small cast iron stove. He placed it in the live-in basement of his split level ranch home. Cost him $800 for the stove and installing the pipe that went out the wall just above the cement foundation. It was nice. He'd buy about $400 worth of pre-cut firewood in October. And he burned that $400 from November->March. One ordinary, cast iron stove, heated the entire 4 bedroom, 2 bath house (both floors) for 4 months.eCat wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 12:59 pm as a kid, my old man decided we were going to heat our home with a wood stove.

It was real nice. He did have natural gas heat throughout the house. He just never needed to use it.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
my old man's logic, he'd buy a $2000 tractor to grow $600 worth of vegetables in the idea he was saving money
and in the process expect me to do all the work

Re: Florida State Seminoles
Probably just because its cold there? My bills could go up 150% and it wouldnt affect me as much because its not as cold and i use less heat in winter generally.
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
I can't decide if eCat is more bitter about being forced to chop, split and tote wood, that his pops was an alcoholic asshole, or that, after all that, he was banished to the frozen tundra of the farthest room from the stove to try and snatch a few hours of miserable sleep before having to wake up and do it all again. I'm leaning towards the latter...

Re: Florida State Seminoles
But look how your transmogrified your bitterness into motivation to better yourself. You're right up there with Falwell and Larry Flynt in my book, man. Well, maybe not quite with them, but you done good...

I certainly hope the bathroom constipation episode where you had one foot on the sink and were begging your wife to bring you the popsicle sticks from the fambly crafts box will be amongst the skits...

So, our Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttplug, has been on paternity leave since August? During the our supply chain situation.
