Talking

oooooohhhhhhh! a new idea!! we use our wood boiler for both house and barn and apartment with hydronic heat, stepped down from the boiler. fill it once a 24 hours on 20 degrees, 48 hours at 40. below zero was 12 hours so it is feasible. hmhmmmm, wood smoke engine generation......

Chaiwaka gove'nor does have 70s technology big heat buildings though, to match his bell bottoms....the Duke bros, starsky and hutch you name it... long hair and all...sounds like you and Claude have more in common than you and Cincy...you work with heavy steel and may still lose part of a digit.

40s and rain here, trying to ice up at night. not pretty.
HELLO to REBEL guy here in da breakroom! welcome!please fellas- if you ppep; POST! love to hear what you are up to, working on, or whatever~ as prior posts will attest. just say HI is welcome too!

Congrats ofc marc- something that says" i love ya!' is always the right thing...
to the wife- not corrections... and NEVER correct the wife

ok, not sure what to do ; better go make something up

He just needs to add another hampster to the wheel so the furnace can run more efficiently.

Wood gasification is possible but the average guy has trouble with the technology.

Here's a little more for ya. The guy in the first article lives about 20 miles north of me. He's been playing with the technology for a few years now.

Sounds about right.

Had to play plumber today. I had warranty parts arrive for a leaking faucet and the sprayer needed replaced because it was sticking. Now I was fine with it but the wife kept complaining about taking a shower in the kitchen, mostly because she didn't plan on it so she was still dressed when the water arrived. And yes, I laughed every time.

Now we completely understand the typing thingy - - you were stuck on that rotary phone. Now why don't you have someone put together a rotary keyboard for your computer, Claude. You would be demon on it.
