Update On Our Stove Install
We’re getting closer to finally connecting and starting up our new pellet stove. If you’ve been following along, we finally bit the bullet and decided to install a pellet stove in our living room as a hedge this winter against the higher costs of home heating oil. Wood pellets burn clean and are 1/4 the […]
Retiree’s Best Hedge Against Inflation: A Job.
We retiree’s have a lot going for ourselves when it comes to landing a job in these current economically challenging times. Why is that, you might ask? That’s because, as workers, we are old school. Ages 50 to 70 know what it takes to get a good day’s pay from a good day’s work. We […]

This Is What Waiting For Parts Looks Like
Knowing that this winter might not only be a difficult one to get an energy supply, we also knew that the energy costs were going to be substantial. So after many years of debate, DH and I finally bit the bullet and decided to put in a pellet stove in our living room in order […]
It’s Not An Inflation Crisis. It’s A Supply Chain Crisis.
No body is doing anything about the bottleneck of all those cargo/container ships stuck out in the waters off of L.A. and Long Beach, California. Where is our government and why is no one doing anything to solve this crisis? We don’t have a shortage of anything. The ‘stuff’ we need and want is sitting […]
