Wood Stove

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.

We are headed to Rochester for Easter. Rosie is still down, but Bonnie has become a llama whisperer and started giving her Tylenol Arthritus and that has made things a lot better. We will see how she progresses. Was I in Antarctica? It seems so weird at this point. Also I don't think anyone can be *in* antarctica. Being *on* Antarctica seems much more appropriate. Whereas *in* North America is fine since you are immersed in society. There is no society in Antarctica. It is an outpost of a foreign land at best. This is a picture of the dome at Pole. The historic dome will be gone soon. I feel so fortunate to have touched it and been inside.

I have a flying lesson tonight if the weather is ok. I was in Canada night before last. Quite a bit of driving in the last 48 hours. Rosie is still down. We will get her up tonight. We don't know what her problem is. Click pic for video
