Feel the heat!

So, I am writing with a bit of trepidation here. I gotta say, it takes a seriously lapsed catholic, to call up enough guilt to come clean sometimes ( - I even feel guilty for no longer being catholic).

I have realized why the goat has been so cold regardless of our heating attempts; there was an upstairs screened window that was wide open: Heat rises.

Yet, before I am strung up for being this stupid, please give me the chance to make amends with what might be one of the most elegant appropo ab-solutions yet at the goat. Really, it was born of the moment. It wasn't really one of those chop wood-carry water kind of things, it was more of one of those chop wood- carry water- see deer- drop water- use wood to - kill and eat deer- oh hey, there is still a little bit of water left to wash down the deer, kind of moments.


So, the wood burning stove which is kinda sketchy sits on the deck and only seems to heat three people at a time. Everyone jockeys for position. The deck, being open air isn't quite prone to being heated.
BUT, if you take 7 or 8 pieces of flag stone and alternate their position on said stove, one can transport said stones with a mitt into the goat! Inside there is a number of stools and a wall bench on which the stones can be placed for the most deliriously warm culo! Now that the window is closed we are golden. Its like feckin Thomas Kincaide in there.

SNOW MORE, see ya there soon.
