Looking for some good wood.
I have a wood stove in the basement, and when that is cranking, the house is toasty warm and the pipes in the cellar don’t freeze and I actually have radiant heat in the floor in my bathroom.
This year finding two to three cords of seasoned firewood became tense.
There is a shortage in RI and so I actually had to go on Craig’s list to find some.
It was like a dating sight. I started to feel like a pervert. Typing to a total stranger, – “Hi, I am looking for some good wood. Can I see your wood? Can you send me a picture? Can you deliver your wood?” Oh yeah he can deliver.
Then once I was engaged with a seller I had to ask, “how big are your pieces?” – “I can’t handle them to big or too long or too fat I need 16 inches to fit in my oven.”
Then it becomes like a drug deal. “How will I know if it is the good stuff? I want a full cord and properly seasoned” I was haggling on the price – He wants the money up front I want the wood in my hand before I will give him the money.
I don’t want shake, I want good hard Oak and Maple. This was so difficult, plus I am aware of the emissions a wood stove produces and I don’t want to contribute to the Ozone layer being destroyed. I don’t want my carbon footprint to be too large – but we gotta stay warm.
Here is my Ozone song – sung to the tune there’s a bump on the log on the bog in the hole at the bottom of the sea.
There’s a hole in the ozone layer in the middle of the sky
There’s a hole in the ozone layer in the middle of the sky
There’s a hole, there’s a hole, there’s a hole in the middle of the sky.
There’s a radiation beam in the hole in the ozone layer in the middle of the sky
There’s a radiation beam in the hole in the ozone layer in the middle of the sky
There’s a radiation beam there’s a radiation beam there’s a radiation beam in the sky
There’s cancer on your face from the radiation beam in the hole in the ozone layer in the middle of the sky
There’s cancer on your face from the radiation beam in the hole in the ozone layer in the middle of the sky
There’s cancer, there’s cancer, there’s caner on your face.
You can’t get a date cause there’s cancer on your face from the radition beam in the hole in the ozone layer in the middle of the sky
You can’t get a date cause there’s cancer on your face from the radiation beam in the hole in the ozone layer in the middle of the sky.
You can’t get a date you can’t get a date you can’t get a date tonight.
