Hi all

Playing thread catch-up here...Kelli, so sorry to hear about your Grandma. (HUGS) from me, Druli and Lily.

Deb, I'm taking a page from your book and turning off scores...esp when my Sand score is at 4.087!!!! NOBODY will guess which shot is mine and the primo candidate for the brown!!!! :-)

At this end, haven't taken a shot for ages, been preoccupied with stove issues (wood pellet stove died and sitting on edge of road waiting for local scrap guys to come and take it.)

New stove, a humongous VC Dutchwest cast-iron woodstove, is all installed and has a chimney, have lots of woods in, and everything...now just waiting for WETT inspector to approve it at noon today so I can use it!

It's been named Soon, cause I keep telling the cats that soon we'll be able to use it. Each evening, Druli esp hunkers down on the rug near the hearth and tries to will Soon into action. He'll be glad when it's working cause then he'll be able to see the flames.

Kelli, sorry to hear about your grandmother. :( From the sounds of it she definately knew how much you loved her, so try to take some comfort in that.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother Kelli. It's always difficult when you loose someone close.

Much delayed results (I blame time zones..) for Asia are in the results thread. Congrats to

colorcarnival for getting the top score in our group!

I got a validation request for my lame 4.000 Sand entry. Guess someone's really bored!

Kelli, so sad, I'm so very sorry.
Susan, let us know when you get her hooked up and she's generating that lovely heat!
Deb, thanks for the advice. I checked the scores once and turned them off. Apparently no one agreed with us, LOL. Unfortunately that isn't news to me.

EVERYONE: Happy new year. May 2009 treat you very very well.

Soon is happily pumping out nice lovely heat like nobody's business! :-)

Will post pix shortly, the heat shields are an eyesore but will paint them during summer when Soon not in service.

Hello fellow suckers and happy 2009! Well, it's back to the daily grind for me, which means more DPC for me, yay!

Sorry about the news Kelli, may many thoughts are prayers be on your way.

I have quite the varied range of scores this new year, all of which are on my news lens from Deb! I'm still holding on to my PB with my Fireworks shot.
