Is nice because it lets you sleep in. And you can enjoy the whole high mass, esp. since the priest for the 5:00 mass can carry a tune in a bucket and can make it through the whole mass without his voice crapping out. And since the Oglet is a teenager she’s more likely to sleep in than we are. So we get to listen to the begats, and then go home and eat. Play with max the Beagledog. Stoke the fire. A very low key Christmas. Tomorrow we roast a big turkey and sit around a dead tree eating candy out of our socks. Then work Thursday and Friday. I could take the time off but younger guys deserve the break, and ain’t much happening anyway. Hope your evening is this peaceful and this good. We aren’t doing much in the way of visiting/going out, so tomorrow we will most likely do a couple trips to the woodshed and that’s about it.

Maybe we’ll get all the way to Zero tonight- YAY!
Damned global warming. DAMN YOU ALGORE!

Firewood is a welcome thing. Two years ago or maybe more we got a buttload of firewood from Mr B, and last year, IIRC, he and I went to remove a downed cherry some of which I am still burning. I have some more to split, but my optometrist’s church is selling split seasoned firewood to raise money for a group of indigents that live down around Kankakee. The delivered price was right, and the charity was good, so I had him drop a half cord off Saturday. The Ogwife and I stacked it in the woodshed and we’re damned glad to have it, as well as the last of the stuff we got from Mr B.. Anything to keep Nipsco at bay.

In related news the electric bills keep down so long as I use the LED lights, and the sooner I can switch the whole house to them the happier I will be. I don’t give a shit about the environment or sustainability, that’s all leftist bullshit, I’m just a cheap bastard-and regular light bulbs die here often enough that the LED’s are a good bargain costwise, and the savings in electrical helps a great deal. Pity I can’t get an LED blower for the furnace.
