Shamelessly pilfered from @neil-gaiman over on Bluesky:
“First of all, read this article:
and then you'll want to spread the word and raise support for this GoFundMe:
Helping people stay warm in the winter—and helping the helpers—is the right thing to do. Kick in if you can, darlings.

Old School Heat
Tumblr media
I know how much firewood is in a cord.
I lived through both Arab oil embargoes. I was in high school the first time those benevolent wonderful camel f—kers turned down the screws. My parents were those resilient kids from the Great Generation. I saw them swing into action by shrugging their shoulders and installing a wood stove. And—get this—they didn’t buy firewood. Armed with chainsaws, axes, peaveys, wedges and mauls, they went to the family property in the mountains to fell trees, buck logs and split the bolts with their own hands.
Here in the Old Pueblo home heating is not much of a concern; we are on the other end of that spectrum. When I decided to get firewood last winter I just wanted enough for a fire pit. (Our winter evenings beg for time outdoors around a fire.) So I was not planning on getting much. A few wheelbarrow loads? Maybe? But… A friend pointed out that we live in unstable times. Why not, he said, go ahead and get a full cord?
Quite logical, Captain. Besides, with my SO gone, I had no adult supervision last winter. So I ordered up a cord. And since I am made of far less stern stuff than my parents, I ordered it split (mostly) and dried.
When it arrived it was a lot. Like I said, I know how much wood is in a cord. I just didn’t expect a cord. Most firewood companies sell “cords” that are less than the full 128 cubic feet. Sometimes far less. Sometimes their “cord” is a face cord, half of a full cord. The company I chose delivered 120 cubic feet.
Ack! We had an hour to move nearly a full cord. My son and I moved it from the curb with a wheelbarrow and a hand truck. We hastily stacked it, guarding the ends with piles of landscaping blocks. (And I am using the word stack quite loosely.) But it was going to need “done proper.” And that was my most recent project. The photo above is the finished frame. My wood is now off the ground. It is out of the way of a future tortoise den. And it gets plenty of air for when I have green wood delivered.
The winter passed without having to install a wood stove. If that keeps up we have fire pit fuel for a few years.

Oh look at that its May. How did this happen so fast?
April was a up and down kinda month. The weather was cold, then warm, then wet, then cold again....on and on.
I kinda grade every month on if I can pay my cellphone without reaching into my savings. This month I could so theres that.
We got all the wood hauled home while I learned a thing or two about working on a trailer. Add in all the scrap wood and metal and that was a win overall.
Wrestling consisted of 1 show. I need to figure out how to get involved more in a few new places. I don't have time for this much time off.
eBay has been slow as of late for me. Part of that is my own fault for not consistently listing. I need to do much better.
Im so ready to get at the garden. I have reorganized my seed hoard a dozen times at least. Potatoes this week maybe?
My Master Gardener studies are almost half way through for this round. I've struggled with the work the past few weeks but I'm getting it now. Some mornings I feel like my head us going to explode.
Sale season started last weekend with Rote. Well actually on the first Saturday but I was busy then. Its good to be back out. I want to find a few new places as summer starts. Gotta keep growing.
Please dont look in the garage.....
Keeping up with tv Wrestling since Mania hasnt exactly been a success or a failure. Hit or miss I guess.
I got 67 eggs from the girls!
Thats enough accountability for tonight. Happy May Day kids!
