I never post, but have been reading about you, your travels, and your struggles since 2014 when I stumbled upon your site. I wanted to thank you for giving me joy in seeing sights I will never see, giving me hope in the face of horrible odds, and sharing your quiet dignity and strength in the face of the unknown and ultimately the known. Wishing you all the best. - CRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-86125182431587079792016-11-13T23:10:27.789+00:002016-11-13T23:10:27.789+00:00I love reading your blog You really are an inspira...I love reading your blog You really are an inspiration to us all Wishing you all the bestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-10495029684916875902016-11-13T14:52:55.078+00:002016-11-13T14:52:55.078+00:00Hello Karen

Open fire up to get it hot and see if detector figure rises.<br />Stay safe, one life remember.<br />LesLes Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200731053479474814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-15048134281277179432016-11-13T08:26:38.547+00:002016-11-13T08:26:38.547+00:00Hi Bryce

I have a fan above the stove that will push excess heat down the boat in very cold times and warm bedroom area.<br />Big hug Bryce, stay healthy.<br />LesLes Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200731053479474814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-59865404708934514302016-11-13T08:21:31.831+00:002016-11-13T08:21:31.831+00:00Hi Jo

It has a digital display and it was showing 85ppm. It has shown 0 ever since we started using the stove again a couple of weeks ago so I'm not sure why it suddenly changed. I have now put new cement on the stove to flue join and managed to get less of it on me than Jaq did ! <br />All seems ok now and the reading is back at 0. Good to know the detector is doing its job.<br />Stay safe<br />S&ASteve and Anghttp://nbtumbleweed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-62835298200153344092016-11-11T22:17:02.664+00:002016-11-11T22:17:02.664+00:00What is amazing to me is that small "stove&qu...What is amazing to me is that small "stove" heats the entire length of NB Valerie. Suspect am far too used to warm air heating as we have here in Canada, Southern Ontario. The system supplies warm air in the depths of the cold winter; and then cool dry air in the height of very hot humid summer periods. All using natural gas; the same fuel too for my gas cooker.<br />With the black of Jaq's hands it looks like the same result as playing with mud, albeit in this case a different form of "mud!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17914426100626846282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-32752987209043778712016-11-11T15:26:43.155+00:002016-11-11T15:26:43.155+00:00Hi to you both.

She'll be fine because of your care and love and willingness to do do what needs to be done.<br />You may think your mind is foggy but you write beautifully my friend. No points for pain in my book. You two will be fine. Don't ask me to define "fine" .... but you will be.

More please!<br />How is the new knee coming along? And are you managing to take care of Jaq in this piece of role reversal?<br />Thinking of you often, the pair of you.
