Why are slow moving winds outside called "light and variable" but the same thing indoors is a "draft"?
 
Are all of Santa's reindeer female? Male reindeer normally lose their antlers between Oct and Nov. Females keep them until the spring.

My employee doing great so far and he listens also a hard worker. Met his parents yesterday and they raised him right. His dad noticed my Marines flag and said another jarhead which I know is another term a Marine is called. Said he was in too and told him I was out after 8 years in after an injury after being shot in the lower left leg which the bullet hit the bone which had to be amputated below the knee. Pulled my left pants leg up showing him my prosthetic leg. Said he knows other Marine veterans that happened to them losing a limb to amputation. Did say I should meet them as well and going to.
 
Going back to the high school I went next week Thursday, graduated from there 28 years ago. Marines recruiter wants me to come with him. He is going to be there to talk to the students and I will tell them my experience. Going to walk down the halls remembering the times I was a student there
 
It has been60 years since I graduated from High School. Our brains were like super sponges back then. Yet, it seems every memory is still bright and fresh. Going back will light them up. Enjoy that as you make a positive contribution to those who occupy those hallowed halls today.
 
I went to a grammar school reunion. Maybe it was the 25th. Seemed everybody turned out to be losers. Or at least not up to the potential they seemed to have.
But that one girl, the one that used to eat chalk from the chalk board, holy knock my pants off, stunning!

It's bitterly cold. I'm bringing firewood tubs into the house (Rubbermaid tubs, about 6 of them).
To carry a tub in, set it down and return to get the next one takes about 20 seconds.
Is it better to:
A) Just keep the door wide open
B) Have someone close the doors between each trip

I'm thinking A since B seems to just be fanning the air in and out.

Thoughts?

Personally, I use method "A"
First, I stack the split wood against the door and then open it to fill the inside wood rack.
 
When I had a wood burner, I did the same. Stack it outside then brought it all in. The wood was about 150 feet from the door.
 
Just throwing this out for consideration. I pull the trailer of firewood to the back of the house. I then load it into Rubbermaid tubs (see link below). The tubs are what I bring in. The wood debris, bugs... all stay in the tubs so the house stays "relatively" clean. I do have to carry some firewood to another stove that's up a flight of stairs and in a nice living room so the tubs work nicely.
On the tubs:
What's in the link below is what I use but damn, they're expensive now. It's a soft plastic so it doesn't crack in cold temps.
Don't use hard plastic tubs as they will crack from either impacts of putting the wood in or the cold temps.


 
I don't know what they call them, but used for carrying logs. Made of some strong material, like heavy canvas. With leather handles. Throw it in the ground, place the logs on it, grab the two handles and carry it in. Like a sling.

Those plastic containers don't last long like they used to. They seem to crack easily.
 
I know the canvas cradles you speak of. I have a few.
I specifically choose the plastic containers. There's those made of soft or hard plastic. Hard plastic won't last a year. My soft plastic ones are starting to give out... after almost 20 years of use.
