Getting old is rough

[Greg58]

We burn wood also, probably no where near what you do, I’ve still got wood from two years ago that I need to use this winter. I’m not saying global warming is a thing but we don’t use as much wood as we did 10 years ago. I’ve got a couple of trees picked out to cut this year, I’ll wait till a good cool Saturday to start.

We Don't burn as much wood as we did. The woodstove in the house we bought in 2006 was a wood hog. Never burned less than three cords per season.
Replaced the hog with a Canadian Drolet high efficiency woodstove. Never burn more than two cords now, and the Winters here in Southern WI are getting progressively warmer. Our safe ice season for ice fishing is down to little over a month.

I got the wood shed as full as I wanted Tuesday, so I got in touch with Eddie who plows my 300ft driveway.
He got about two of those totes worth of wood loaded.
Claims he will plow five times NC in trade. Now I gotta come up with another exercise routine per Doc's orders. This all started two weeks ago when they think I have some blockage in a heart artery. My LDL is double normal. Then again my HDL is almost off the scale high. It was thought one negated the other.
Nope, that was the old science. I am screwed by the New Science. So I backed off on my drinking as they dose me with a Statin drug now.

Two old guys very close to me went into the hospital around the same time in the past few weeks. My dad was there briefly and an old machinist boss of mine is still there. He will be ok but must alter his lifestyle in some ways going forward. I go to hang with him every day. The tolerance we hope to work with is Vance 2028 +8/-0.
