    How'd it go today?

    If it's dry in the winter where you are like here, I would definitely recommend moisturizer over split up hands. I like the working hands cream too. Not very greasy.

    I'd give you respectful of their opponents, but humble? That's a stretch IMO for the few I've heard of in that list. Connors chicken legs were the only ones that mattered in that bout.

    How'd it go today?

    Chains are the superior winter traction device for certain. Even compared to high quality studded winters. When working winters in the woods it didn't take many 'lessons' to learn its better to put them on before they're needed than to deal with the situation created by driving without after...

    Regarding Covid

    Interesting on the shit. Fwiw interferon cured my mother of hepatitis C which she had had for many years through a tainted blood transfusion.

    Who knew Connor had weak chicken legs? I still don't like him. I find the bravado displayed in mma embarrassing and wearisome. But I do enjoy watching some ass kicking!

    Regarding Covid

    It's weird because none of my various soaps at home affect me. Dish soap etc. The orange abrasive mechanic soap doesn't either. Just this weird foaming soap at work. But I have been using the 'working hands' moisturizer cream and it helps out I'll keep the Vaseline in my mind too, thanks.

    Wood stove heat

    Definitely well done the ambiance of a fire is hard to beat. Now about this cat. Does it have a bypass you open close for startup and reloads or is it just always in the exhaust stream? Is there a cat thermometer or a active/inactive indicator? And can you see it if you look up in the...

    Regarding Covid

    As to the mental health bit. I'd have to agree I think. On a personal level a couple people I know have struggled since the pandemic has started. Mental health is a tough one, even with supports/infrastructure in place unless the person suffering has a strong and somewhat educated advocate...

    Regarding Covid

    All good so far. So hopefully there is no more transmission/cases at work. I know one of the people who's off for the potential exposure fairly well so he'll keep me up to date on his situation. Just keeping clean and keeping my distance. My work has a full time position on each shift now...

    Wood stove heat

    If you refuel when the load has burned down to embers(as I've described a few times in this thread) there is very little risk of flying debris vs the chuck a piece or three in as they fit method. That said I'd be very vigilant about flying sparks if it were my setup. All of my stoves are on...

    Regarding Covid

    It's taken awhile but covid is finally knocking on my doorstep now. One co-worker positive and two more sent home for risk of exposure to that worker, just last night. These are three workers on my shift who I normally work in very close contact with but due to luck was not at that work...

    Wood stove heat

    It's more about efficiency(burning cold air instead of previously heated room air), and smoke and co spillage. In order for smoke to go out the chimney that air that caused the combustion needs to be replaced within the home, otherwise.....no draft. It is coming from outside the home whether...

    Wood stove heat

    Normally there is unless a house is super super sealed and has lots of other venting type of appliances running like hood ranges, bathroom fans etc. The big plus is that nearly all the air that is used for the stove combustion is unheated outside air vs already heated inside air that is being...

    Wood stove heat

    You tweaked my interest here. I have been over the b365 a lot in the past, had a online subscription through my WETT certification and had plenty of bits in my course materials. But it seems to me that the b365 changed its requirements on fresh air intakes from a requirement to only required...
