Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Good morning, Mr jay.🤗 Another Saturday…and another nice selection from you. Blessings to you.
Good morning Bet! Missed you yesterday but saw Patience post that she spotted you on another thread. ❤️😍
I was too busy yesterday. My bride and I had a lunch with Nipper, then paid the property taxes, later I spent some time at one of my blinds, and finally trimmed some dead branches off my mom’s oak tree.
‘This morning we’ll be heading to Nipper’s soccer game.
Morning, G. Yesterday was one of those scatty cat days, here and there…and it didn’t help we got up way later than normal for some reason. I commented on the Redux thread when I had a few minutes, then it was off again.
GO NIPPER!!! I hope he’s enjoying it and developing those footie skills. Ugh…property taxes…
We were just talking about those this morning, remarking how they really are an immoral tax on unrealized gain. Something the Left want to do for everything. Ours haven’t dropped yet. I see Abbott has announced that the homestead exemption for seniors has increased an extra $10 grand. Waiting for the worst.
Good that you’ve managed to debride your mother’s tree. Don’t know how big those branches were but if large, one strong storm can do a lot of damage. Our daughter has a maaaassive oak by the side of her house. Every time we saw it I kept projecting vocally to her to get a treeman out to clean it up, which she finally did.
All y’all enjoy that game. It does my heart so much good to know Nipper has one of the absolute best men in this world there to me tor and cheer him on.😘
Ugh…correction->…to mentor and cheer him on!
Done with the game. Nipper had an off day but that’s ok. He requested Mexican food afterwards so my bride and his mom took him and I am at the health club sweating. 😁
However I am defrosting some axis steaks for later today. My daughter picked up my mom for the weekend so we have a “lighter “ weekend. Just SIL duty and taking a peek at mom’s cats. 😘
Grilling out? That will be a pleasure I’m sure with this cooler weather. As for Nipper, some days are just like that. Our granddaughter plays on her HS freshman volleyball team. She’s good and loves it but knows when she’s not “feeling it.” Thankfully there is always a next time. I hope he’s having fun at least. Glad your mother will be able to spend some time with her granddaughter, knowing the cats won’t go begging.
Enjoy the day, G. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of “axis” steaks….hmmmmm…
Well, it turned out to be a fry. Axis is and Indian deer that was brought stateside in the 1920s. It got out of the game ranches and has done very well in Texas. The meat is very low fat but very moist so makes for a very delicious meal. My processor obviously had a different thing in mind when I told him I want steaks. I meant regular 1 inch thick cut and he made ham steaks – small thin pieces of meat. Anyway, they turned very tasty chicken fried with garden tomatoes and feta cheese on the side.
Will be grilling tomorrow after church. The Wagyu sirloin at HEB is still 12.99 lb so I grabbed 2 today. OTOH, my favorite fuji apples are up a buck to 2.87.
Good morning, G. Didn’t see your post to me til after 10 last evening. Have a great day with Nipper. They grow up so fast we have to enjoy every moment we have with them when they are young. So glad I did lots with the grand daughter when she was young. It is a very special bond between us. Now she is grown up, done college and left the country to travel with her fiance. They are in Vienna now enjoying the horses and the beautiful city. Miss her lots!!
Morning Marti! Vienna is fun. Now I’m getting the travel itch. 😂
Here you go, G…
“The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.”
~GK Chesterton~~
How true is that? I’ve seen it in action watching American tourists focused on something, but not paying any attention to the beauty all around them in our atmospheric Welsh town, with the hills and rivers and the steam locomotives and the old buildings. Yes…Chesterton had it simply and accurately correct.

Morning jay!
Morning Gramps, what position does the nipper play ? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I don’t think he knows yet. Last week he played a lot of goalie and liked it. Today I had to yell a lot to keep him awake. 😁
😁
Wonderful early Fall mornin’ to you Jay, Bet, Gramps, Marti, and all our Treehouse friends. . . 🙂

My all time fave by Horton, Cherokee Boogie
Still remember Tony Evans preaching on that passage of Ephesians at a Promise Keeper’s rally in Dallas in 1997. He said about living our wife as Jesus loves the church, “Christ gave His life for us. Men, I don’t see many dead people here.”
Tony is one of the relative few who have remained faithful to Scripture throughout his entire 50+ years of ministry, at least as far as I know.

Hello, Jay
Hello, Garrison

Mornin’ Patience . . . 🙂

See above . . . 🙂
Good morning, Garrison😘 Were you mind reading?
Yesterday I was listening to the Gatlin Brothers, Barry Gibb, and Roy Orbison singing Indian Summer. Roy added his signature voice which stood out amongst the others in this wonderfully performed song.
And I thought immediately of you, wondering when you’d be highlighting Roy’s incredible talents. And voila! Loved Roy’s voice. What a talent he was. Thank you for these.
OH my 😎😎😎😎, Betsy,
~I didn’t read below Garrison’s music and posted The Wedding Song.
Good morning and good day❣
~☕
And good morning, Patience, to you and Ma🤗🤗! How funny is that?? Or not😉.
I loved it and I’m so glad you posted it. So you’re a mind reader as well as Garrison. Remarkable😘
May seem a bit odd, but one sunny day I was listening to Roy while house cleaning and found myself enjoying what I was doing. 😂.
I mean, how enjoyable is house cleaning …. ?!, toilets, floors, laundry, wall- washing… furniture all about to do baseboards… up on a tall ladder wiping leaves and watering plants ; phew!
Any how, while the Indian wedding song was playing I found myself singing and swaying … and filled with all sorts of emotions and delight.
– Needless to say, I just love that particular song; a lot.
How enjoyable is housework? Even or especially the mundane work always has God in it. I can’t remember if it was Chambers or Spurgeon who said so. But what a help to have some music going on, even in your head. I bet you got it done more quickly as well….
I’ve told this before, but perhaps like my mother being stopped for speeding as she was listening to the William Tell overture. She just kept going faster. 😁
I especially like the “Black and White” concert. Did you notice that he had k.d. Lang, Jennifer Warnes, and Bonnie Raitt as the “girl singers”? Wow.
Morning Garrison!
Hi, Pa❣
Good morning Patience! ❤️
Indian Wedding Song
Now do Indian Summer!!!!
Ha! We had our first hard frost here in central Indiana last night. Another forecasted for tonight.
Roy Orbison had one of the most unique and emotionally moving male voices in the music industry.
He is unequalled, IMHO.
Good day to you, Garrison.
May Gods Blessings be upon you.
Agree!
Happy, Caterday Treepers . . . 🙂

Good morning all.
A lesson being learned from Ian.
It seems that the batteries in electric vehicles and saltwater are not a good combination. The batteries of EVs exposed to saltwater are shorting out and burning. Fire Fighters say it takes up to six hours to extinguish a single EV fire and of course the gases/smoke they emit are highly toxic.
Now just imagine what would happen if a lot of homes had the battery backups the government has been pushing and subsidizing!
I heard that night before last while listening to Stacy On The Right. It was also reported that they had to use a special foam to put out the fire. How can this be good for the environment, which is almost always the excuse they give for making us use this stuff?
Foam it’s not unusual. I used to work for inorganic chemical company and wrote material safety data sheets. We all had to take HAZMAT emergency response.
Some compounds react adversely to water and therefore need other fire suppressant.
You’d be shocked at some compounds and what they can do!
The Periodic Table of Elements are amazing things especially when mixed together.
Another thought. The batteries are generally located down low in the structure of EVs because they are heavy. I’m wondering what happens over time when corrosion from the salt and calcium chloride used to treat roads during the winter kicks in. Is there going to come a time when people will be driving on a slushy treated road and their EV bursts into flames?
That is what I have wondered after seeing the EV fires and hearing that it is due to saltwater.
I don’t know if there’s any difference between the batteries in EV’s and the lithium ion batteries used in my 2005 Toyota Prius. I never had any problems with the Prius batteries for the 13 years I drove it. And the man who bought it from me in 2018 just had them replaced this summer since they finally weren’t performing well after 190+K miles.
My guess is that the EV batteries are under far MORE stress than those in a hybrid such as the Prius. They are discharged faster and charged faster than in a hybrid. That alone generates far more heat which is not good for such unstable and sensitive batteries.
IMHO the EV is still not ready for wide usage by the public whereas the hybrid vehicle has proven itself as a very reliable, low emissions platform. Unfortunately not all hybrid platforms are of the same design/build quality but that could easily be resolved.
Do you live in an area with a lot of winter weather?
North-central Maryland. It gets pretty cold at times and they use a fair amount of salt on the roads when precipitation occurs in below-freezing temps. And I kept the undercarriage sprayed off frequently during periods of salt use.
Driven that way back and forth many many times on I-70.
Only once (1996) I drove west on I-70 to Indianapolis. It was in July. Took about 9.5 hours to get there. Was headed to Colorado.
If you are on I-70 in central MD, you are at one point within 5 miles of my house.
Two million without power.
Gentlemen…start your engines!!
Now, multiply those cars on fire times 1,000 or 5,000.. where we would be if the leftists and “Mayor Pete” had their way and EVERYONE purchased an electric vehicle. Just how much of that toxic gas and smoke would those thousands and thousands of burning EVs be pumping into south Florida?
The Lithium Ion batteries are at high risk for spontaneous combustion because of the volatile compounds used within and high temperatures generated under some charging conditions.
OTOH, old fashioned deep-cycle lead acid batteries do not come even close to the risk with lithium batteries. If you use lead acid batteries for your home energy storage, then you are far safer. Yes it requires a lot more lead acid batteries for the same amount of energy but their stability and relatively high safety has long been established. Very few (if any) vehicles or homes have ever been lost due to their lead acid batteries igniting spontaneously. They do however require ventilation to disperse hydrogen and oxygen gas generated while charging. And the charging must be controlled by a charger that senses when the battery is fully charged and stops or greatly reduces the charging current.
The starting rate for charging is much higher than the finishing rate for the last 10 to 15% of capacity. It is during that higher charging rate that the outgassing of hydrogen and thus the fire/explosion hazard is the greatest. Even when on the surface charging batteries with good ventilation the smoking lamp on the WW II submarine would be out until the full charge was completed. Back then they would have men down in the battery banks monitoring specific gravity and they were the ones that determined when to slow the charging rate and when the charge was complete.
I remember using the little squeeze bulb hydrometer with the little colored balls in the tube to test my car battery acid’s SG. I stopped using it when sealed batteries became standard.
October 8 Oswald Chambers
Coming to Jesus
Come to Me… —Matthew 11:28
Isn’t it humiliating to be told that we must come to Jesus! Think of the things about which we will not come to Jesus Christ. If you want to know how real you are, test yourself by these words— “Come to Me….” In every dimension in which you are not real, you will argue or evade the issue altogether rather than come; you will go through sorrow rather than come; and you will do anything rather than come the last lap of the race of seemingly unspeakable foolishness and say, “Just as I am, I come.” As long as you have even the least bit of spiritual disrespect, it will always reveal itself in the fact that you are expecting God to tell you to do something very big, and yet all He is telling you to do is to “Come….”
“Come to Me….” When you hear those words, you will know that something must happen in you before you can come. The Holy Spirit will show you what you have to do, and it will involve anything that will uproot whatever is preventing you from getting through to Jesus. And you will never get any further until you are willing to do that very thing. The Holy Spirit will search out that one immovable stronghold within you, but He cannot budge it unless you are willing to let Him do so.
How often have you come to God with your requests and gone away thinking, “I’ve really received what I wanted this time!” And yet you go away with nothing, while all the time God has stood with His hands outstretched not only to take you but also for you to take Him. Just think of the invincible, unconquerable, and untiring patience of Jesus, who lovingly says, “Come to Me….”

Good Caturday morning, Cat! 💜
My friends, prayer changes things. Let’s always start by praying for ourselves, each other, and especially for the nation.
Amen Liz. In unity.
Unity is what Leftists have been saying they want. They also want free everything.
Well, here it is. The most precious everything one could ever desire.
And it is being offered, free of charge, under the umbrella of Almighty God’s mercy and grace. 🙏

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

Russian soldiers surrender to Ukrainian forces as Kherson fighting rages on – Video
https://commoncts.blogspot.com/2022/10/russian-soldiers-surrender-to-ukrainian.html
These “battlefield” video shorts can be so easily staged. It’s simply not credible “as-is”.
We do not know exactly where this took place nor are the identities of the alleged “captured” “Russian” soldiers revealed. The armored vehicle could be salvaged, captured or left over from years ago. Until the incident is officially acknowledged by both sides it is useless.
Happy “cartoons and cereal day” everyone.
have a blessed saturday.

October 8
MORNING
I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Heb. 13:6
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Rom. 8:35, 37
Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Luke 12:4, 5
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven. Matt. 5:10-12
None of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy. Acts 20:24
I will speak of thy testimonies … before kings, and will not be ashamed. Psa. 119:46
EVENING
He set my feet upon a rock. Psa. 40:2
That Rock was Christ. I Cor. 10:4
Simon Peter … said, Thou art the Christ the Son of the living God. Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matt. 16:16, 18
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
Full assurance of faith. Faith without wavering. Heb. 10:22, 23
Faith, nothing wavering. . . . He that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. James 1:6
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 8:35, 37, 39

Goood morning treepers!
A wonderful sw Florida happening just reported..
Kit…the sw Floridian honey bee seems to be gone…. Not so fast…bucko… major kit house damage… massive honeybee swarm at kit house has survived hurricane.. 🥰
Kit said….
There’s no honey bees around.and it’s honey bee season.. when they normally swarm. The beekeeper sd we are only the second person who has them. He’s very grateful.. the other hive bees didn’t do well with Ian. Hopefully mine will start a new comb for him..
beekeeper scrambling to get enough boxes.
Kit delayed roof fix, just enough, for beekeeper to collect honeybees!!!
Hope springs eternal Treepers!! ❤️
Happy caturday!!!🐱
Someone around kits area been a little busy??
Looking back.. this whole time.. we took care of the elderly on our block, elderly on dialysis, made sure everyone had supplies and food and kept everyone updated on updates. Then.. watched 4 other houses, took care of some pets, and night patrols to keep our block safe. Now saving honey bees…
this is what happens when u ask God to make you an instrument.. he gives you the power and shows you the path. We rose to the calling. And not done yet . More to do. But pausing to get our house calls in order too..
❤️
Not only the honey bees,but the bats as well.Been noticeably absent here in SE FL for more than 10 years for the bees and 20 years for the bats.Very few of us even seem to notice and/or care to speculate why.Any sightings are good!
Happy Caturday and Blessings to all effected by Ian… Casco
Morning Casco!
Afternoon GrandpaM! 🙂
Casco, in the UK bats are a protected species. One cannot disturb their habitats without bringing the wrath of the government on the heads of those who do.
We had a freestanding garage next to our 1869 built house. We never put a car in it. It was the home for goodness knows how many bats and therefore untouchable.
One night I stood in the front porch about dusk as they were going out for the night and started counting.
One by one they flew out through the opening between the roof and the structure itself. One, two, three, four…
I gave up at 269. There were more. We never saw them other than at night. And as rabies is not known in the UK, there was never any worry about that. They kept the insects down for sure. It really was fascinating.
Speaking of rabies, a child in Texas recently died of rabies. Got bitten by a bat but unfortunately the parents just didn’t know to get the post exposure shots. Tragic.
Evening GrandpaM.Never worried about rabies from bats,just raccoons,skunks or a frothy faced dog.I think possums can carry it as well.How sad…
Interesting Bet.Used to see lots of them at dusk.Don’t know if their protected here or not (don’t think so),but I haven’t seen any to be “protected” anyways.A lot less butterflies also. 🙁
I’m grilling some special steaks today despite the cool temps. My driving buddy, Randy, bought a rack of Ribeyes from a butcher. He aged them on a rack over a pan of coarse salt for three weeks in the fridge, changing out the salt every few days. Then he took the rack back to the butcher to cut into steaks and gave me one about 3″ thick. This morning I split it into two 1 1/2″ thick steaks. Indiana Sweet corn on the cob and twice baked potatoes will round out the meal.
Mmm, sounds delicious. I’ll be suffering today with axis ham steaks. Can’t tell yet if they’ve been tenderized or not. If yes I’ll be frying them otherwise it’s the grill.
Sounds very good!
Chicken fried they were. 🙂
Sounds great.
For the lady with the silver hair wearing the black turtleneck:
Eat one leopard but only within an eight-hour period?
I am referring to the intermittent fasting ad that was at the bottom of the page when I was reading Sundance’s update just now – so came over here instead of making an O/T comment – it probably would take about eight hours but where am I going to find a live, lovely leopard that is just minding it’s own bidness – does it taste like chicken?
Nevermind.
I guess they mean if you identify as a leopard, this is what you ought to do.
Need more coffee.
Plus, it’s Caturday, so you will cut me some slack. I hope.
Like Putin, like Zelensky, support the invasion, cheering for Ukraine, whatever your point of view, it is still possible to stand back and see what there is to learn from it. This author says the army should have 4 take-aways :
1) logistics, logistics, logistics,
2) precision in both short and long range artillery fire,
3) the importance of air littorals, the air space below 1,000 feet,
4) heavy armor supported by artillery and infantry is still the name of the game.

A very productive day. Two pickup loads of cut and split hardwood picked up. What is short enough and split small enough is stacked in the lean-to. The rest is in the yard in front of the lean-to. Most is short enough but not split small enough. Tomorrow I will be cutting tthe few pieces too long with my new electric chain saw and manually splitting with a maul and Sherry will be stacking. When we’re done I will have a stack about 5′ high and 30 feet long.
Steve says we may go tomorrow and get another load or perhaps two.
I used my moisture tester and it appears most of it is running between 18 and 12% moisture. Some is going to need to cure a bit longer but that is not the case for the vast majority I don’t think.
rah, love the electric chain saw, pole saw, and weed eater. We bought the EGo brand and use them a lot. All use the same batteries and we got 2 or 3 chargers. Nowadays I use my gas powered Husqvarna only for the real big jobs.
The one I bought plugs in. My weed eater is battery. And I have the full set of MasterForce tools that are a 20 V battery. Drill, Impact wrench, reciprocating saw, circular saw, and oscillating jig saw.
We just ate those steaks. They were very good, but not really special. After that I took two extra strength Tylenol and rubbed both of my lower legs and feet down with Blue Goo. Hopefully I won’t be waking up with cramps tonight because I gave myself a real workout moving that wood.
May I suggest something which has worked for me for leg cramps –
about 1/8 cup of apple cider vinegar in 1/2 cup of water
it’s good to have it already in the container – like a Rubbermaid container with a screw-top lid – so you can shake it again before you drink it – and have it on your bedside table –
it works within ten minutes or sooner
I have learned to have it on the bedside table so I can grab it readily if I wake up in the middle of the night with those terrifically awful leg cramps that are already underway and it is quite impossible to “unfurl” and get up out of bed to go to the kitchen to get the apple cider vinegar and mix it with water.
A dear friend suggested it to me way back in 2004 and it has worked wonderfully well – I don’t know how he came up with it – but it has worked –
I was drinking half-gallons of Tropicana Orange Juice with Calcium – it’s good but it didn’t really help the cramps – bananas – magnesium, potassium, calcium supplements – various combinations – and of course, all of those are okay in the right amounts but were not stopping those horrific leg cramps –
also, another thing that has helped is wearing Vionics arch support inserts in my shoes, especially when on the go all day – so your foot, ankle, heel are out of whack, that throws off the knees and hips, too -and the feet are burning, so much pain! Ridiculous. I think that’s what plantar fasciitis is. I buy a new set of inserts about every three or four months – I take out the inserts that come with my Skechers or Addidas and put in the Vionics. I first bought them through QVC, now through the Vionics store on Amazon.
Two more loads and I’ll have enough to last me all winter plus some. And there is more where that came from for next winter. Isn’t costing me a dime and all good hardwood. Oak, Ash, Walnut, etc.
We usr here several different oaks – live, post, Spanish. Fort the fireplace as well as the bbq pit. When smoking brisket I throw in a little pecan and mesquite for flavor but the main work is done with oak.
Man can you tell that the democrats and their media and Hollywood are soiling their pants over the coming midterms. Attack, attack, attack, insult, insult, insult, lies, lies, and more lies. I have never seen them this bat ^%$# crazy.
