Thats crazy. I think I'm going to have to cut the grass in march at this rate. We've had some crazy temp swings this year. 75 one day, 40 another, 65, 25, then back to 75-80.

I've tried both. Snow is not for me. It's nice 1-2x a yr, but I'm over it after a day.

Oh I doubt it,actually I'm certain that that wouldn't change my position.I haven't liked snow since I was elementary school aged when I didn't mind playing in it but now,snow is just a useless nuisance and an inconvenience to me.
It may not have been anywhere near twenty years but I have spent considerable time on tropical islands and they are more my climate zones of choice.When I retire from work I just may return to live out my days.

Bora bora?

This reminds me of moving to Alaska joke(it uses foul language).
I've been around it for 10 years...that's enough for me. I'd be fine if I don't see it the rest of my life.

What's with the people who are interviewed on the news? When some incident is covered you have the on location reporter giving his take and then they go to a so called witness who blabbers on about what they saw and how they felt about it.

Okay, so my mate sent me this because he was confused by the name. I've never known them to be called this, anyone here refer to them as this?


I've always called them fire pots.

In victoria a choofer is a weed smoker, not sure if you have the same slang down there?
Maybe that's what he used it for, stuff a kilo in the oven and stick your head over the chimney, I'd imagine it would do the job!

We do indeed have the same slang down here, and I had similar thoughts about its previous use when he first sent it to me.
I do imagine it would do the job lol

So you'd just call it a fire pot then? I've honestly never heard it called a "wood choofer" before until my mate sent me that.

I don't know what they are really called, I'd would just call it a wood heater or wood oven I guess.

That's better than calling it a wood choofer lol
Its just a strange term to me I guess.
