I don’t burn lotsa scrap

But I do run a magnet through my ashes to remove metal fasteners etc.

This weird thing came from a tree that was likely part of a gate, or maybe old electrical line? Something metallic buried in firewood revealed, the stuff that’ll ruin a chainsaw blade in a heartbeat.

Freight is late and I have no pickups so futzing around tidying. Deedles hasn’t committed to a visit, he’s at the Dr today. He, despite tests saying otherwise, feels he has mono (someone may have put the idea in his head or he’s deducing, but otherwise feels pretty crappy, glad to be off campus for a spell.). I’m not really in host mode, but he wouldn’t really notice, care…
