    I am on one with no food restrictions, but just that cold gets to me now, but so does the summer heat, May and October are just right.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    Got the new Viking side by side stuck on Saturday,even with the larger tires,spun down through the snow to the point almost couldn’t open the doors to get out. Funny you mentioned about the deer,Liberal tree huggers around here all up in arms about coyote hunts,probably think they’re cute and harmless

    Time to carry the rifle with you for those buggers. You must have more snow than we do, we're at about 10-12 inches so the deer can still move around okay. Its the turkeys who are struggling.
