Thank you. Yes. It has been some time, but still a big void. The circumstances of his passing (while travelling) are making it difficult to come to grips with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I love fires, and firewood, and the advanced stats of cordwood. I just stacked what I'll call a "Jersey cord". No way it's 4x4x8. Whatever. But I do like the ambiguity of what a cord actually is. The fact that it is only that amount of wood the first time it is stacked is kinda cool. It means that sometimes I'll get more, sometimes I'll get less, depending on how OCD the guy stacking it is. Anyway, this fire and manhattan is glorious. Just thought I'd share. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to make my living room (does not sit on a foundation) comfortable in the winter, I have two choices: Use an electric space heater or build a fire. I am asking you as an engineer, and I am asking sincerely, which is the better option environmentally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the bulk of the electricity used in WNY is generated hydraulically, the space heater, though more expensive to run, is better environmentally.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I got to work at noon yesterday, it's currently 445am the next day and I'm just now walking out, just to wake up and be back in just a few hours for another 12-14 hours. The ER had some bad trauma and I hung around to help out......so when I post cool pics of my travels, remember, I'm dying a slow death while in the US ??? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 So two of my friends unexpectedly gave me gifts today (which always makes me feel bad I didn't have something in return)... the one is a season ticket holder and got a random signed Sabres hat from Hockey Fights Cancer night. She gave it to me today and we figured out it's Conor Sheary! So now I have a Stanley Cup winner signed hat... just not as a Sabre. Yet. The other friend gave me a few things including a 2019 Sabres calendar... the funny part is it prominently features ROR on the cover... he's Mr. August in fact. Eichel's #15 too. Makes you realize how early they lay out things like that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I am fading fast and probably won't even make puck drop. My wife told me that Laverne passed away today. I like her and Shirley. Back when TV was harmless. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
