You think that's a lot out back? What about this?
ZOIKS!!!Yanno, two of my close friends love their bonfires/fire pits...one even plans to put a wood burning stove in his house. But I don't think they'd understand the need for that much firewood b/c for them, it's just a "luxury" as opposed to a necessity. But I don't say to their faces that I think they're kinda wasting firewood.
morning, mad and ces! 
ces, exposed to the elements wood will compost itself
and i'm off!

Good morning, MadO and CES . Think I'll just stick with my natural gas furnace. Way less work...

What a dark, gloomy, wet day out there. So, I'll drop the "good" and
just say "Morning" to everybody. :: sigh ::
I really wanted to finish the pruning/trimming today, but everything
is just dripping wet. I suppose there are a few other things to tackle
out there.
And today is the annual newspaper blast about New York's "unclaimed
funds"... and how all kinds of riches may be yours:
http://www.democratandchronicle.com...0/13/database-check-unclaimed-funds/91935098/
So, I know EXACTLY what Dad will be talking about when I call him...
as he does EVERY year, without fail. And I will have to repeat myself
as I do every year, without fail. There is *NO WAY* to provide the
REQUIRED information needed so he can claim funds left to my Mom
by my Grandmother. (I think I have ranted/raved before...)... How
can he (I?) connect HIM to my grandmother's address on-file when he
NEVER LIVED THERE?... and NEITHER DID MY MOTHER? If you call
the comptroller, it is IMPOSSIBLE to talk to a person. It's a phone
tree with zero option of "speak to a human".
I have submitted as much info as possible and it always comes back
with the REQUIREMENT of showing how HE is "connected" with MY
GRANDMOTHER'S address. "Old utility bills", "tax returns", "deed"
(it was an APARTMENT you BASS HOLES), etc.
But I think that is just the tip of the iceberg. He would also have to
provide my Grandmother's AND my Mother's death certificates... he
would ALSO have to prove he was sole heir in my Mom's will (of which
she had NOTHING, pretty much)... and then there is my Mom and Dad's
marriage certificate to prove he is the surviving spouse.
:: grrr ::
But he does not HEAR all that or SEE it when I show him the reply
correspondence.

In short sleeves here!
High somewhere around 75-78.
Good morning snails.
If it's any amount of money, get an attorney.

Good morning, Atty ...rained all night, going up around 79 and clearing up, or so "they" say...
...rained all night, going up around 79 and clearing up, or so "they" say...
"They" will NOT disclose the amount. It's a mystery. Some Big Secret.
Even the insurance company (Prude's Denture) cannot tell the $ because
it's been handed over to the State, so their hands are washed of the
whole thing.
life insurance policies held by our grandparents were usually miniscule.
"Enough to bury me"... and we know how cheap that was back then.
Quite possible that an attorney would cost MORE than whatever the
Deep Dark Secret amounts to.
(Oh... I'll hear about it TOMORROW because he has not looked at
today's paper yet. I lucked out... for today.)
