Wood Stove

Image
I rebuilt a wood stove I had in storage. The only textual items on the stove is "Made in West Germany". After puzzling about how to repair the broken leg (everything from welding with tungston rod to fabricating a splice), I found a similar replacement foot. It was similar, so I ended up buying two in order to make it look and set right. It was a fun "little" project. It cost me about $150 in materials and probably took me about 8 hours. I am looking forward to getting it fired up at some point. Since it is going back into storage I am wrapping it up with as much rust inhibitor as I can. I bought some VCI paper for the effort.
Today is day number 15,646. My new HP12c Calculator is really something. I really like using it. Fewer key strokes for almost anything. Class is going well. It is challanging and I am learning alot about something we should all be good at, Financial Management. I changed my mind at the last minute about buying a new truck. I am going to wait at least another year. I have other fish to fry and eat. Over the weekend I served as an evaluator for 4-H kids and their "public presentations". It was sorta fun. They let me talk about Toastmasters for 5 minutes before the awards were handed out.
The answer is in the noise. Could this be the begining of seeing the shadows of our 11 dimensions?
