And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Might be the last fire in the old 1919 Magnolia parlor stove until next October
If I owned that thing I'd break it down to base level and scour every millimeter then put it back together with all new gaskets and whatever replacement parts were necessary. Be a fun, but durty, project. Maybe install some water jackets on the sides.
Might is the key word - CGT
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking the same thing for my wood stove, but it was 32 degrees this morning! Guess I'll keep the firewood bin full for a bit longer.

ReplyDeleteAs opposed to a forest, brush, house or vehicle variety it's gotta be a wild fire
ReplyDeleteIt's 87 degrees outside right now. We had 3 weeks cold weather this past winter and that included a 4" snowfall that occurs about every 50 years.
