I couldn't believe the amount of stuff inside the wall of his chimney pipe.

Make your own natural weed killer.
I have not tried this yet but I'm going to. The power company uses something that kills everything so well its scary. At least they let you decline the spraying around your property. I don't want the herbicide in my water.

Looks like a single wall pipe? Wonder what effect.
Lots of wood burning going on here this January. I did make one improvement. Screwed a mirror to the wall opposite the bed and stove. Now instead of getting up to check the fire it’s right there!

Genius move!
(A security camera could work if the stove is in a different room.)

Thanks Kin. It is nice watching the flames at night. Yes camera would work. The only other room we have is the bathroom though and I’m not in there long enough to let the fire go out. My wife, she’s in there all day but she never stokes the fire anyway.

When I was in Australia, An aussie in the outback told me all about the kangaroos. When driving, they run in front of you, the side and the back. They run into the back of your car??? Oh yeah, the dam things are bloody stupid. We used to think of them as pests, until we figured out we can eat them.
The Snakehead fish is an invasive species here in VA and MD. It can crawl out of water and worm its way across land to another body of water. People were freaking out until some chef started put them on the menu. Very tasty.

That’s cool!
I wonder if you could just use those nesting pails. Cut some down to a desired height or only fill and compress to a desired height. Maybe drill in some holes.

My wife is Chinese, sweetest girl on earth. She comes up with stuff that cracks me up. She started collecting my pee. I have two of those hospital urine plastic bottles from Amazon, bigger, screw-on tops, not the standard el-cheapo ones with the press top. I use them in the camper for the night time. Anyway, I had to look this up. This is what Google returned.
Urine contains essential plant nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are also found in synthetic fertilizers.
Fresh urine should be diluted with water before application to avoid burning plants.
Free fertilizer.
I told my friend up on the mountain in WV about this, he said but won't the tomatoes taste like pee?
I'm thinking well no, and how do you know what pee tastes like?
I said to him lets do an experiment. Next time you plant a garden, pee around two plants and not the others and see if they do any better.

Well it happened. Someone stole a check I sent to pay my property tax. $2500.00. They washed the check and rewrote it for $2700.00. I called the bank, I think they will cover it. Google says use a black Gel Pen, harder to wash (with bleach or acetone). I did, have been for years. So now I have to contact all the auto-debit and auto-deposit and change the account number. The bank closed the account and opened a new one, the auto stuff will continue for 90 days.
I have alot of money in that account. For my own peace of mind, I am going to open another account as the storage account and transfer money to the checking account as needed. If I get hit gain, less exposure to big loss. You should think about this.

Yeah bummer. I’ve been paying my taxes online but just as worrisome. The amount of online scam I get is crazy. I too try to keep my working bank account down. And I wrote my retirement people and said no changes to my account unless I drive down and request in person. “Oh we can’t do that..”
