Sad but true. Couldn't get the chill out of the house. Thought about the wood stove but I didn't want to have to sleep outside once that thing is lite. So, took 1.5 hours to go through the Harman PF100. Still had pellets from April in it. Did a good cleaning and even took the stove pipe off which you should do every year before you fire up the first time. Anyhow, it's 68 and feeling good. Still have about 6 bags from last years buy of 6 ton. But 19 years and this Harman fires up every year. I also put a 1" heating coil and now we go from 125 to 140. Check the circulator too, all working good.

I was the one who was " allergy to chocolate" lol. I love chocolate, the cupcake I had was just wonderful. It was like eating clouds with chocolate. Thank you very much.

A few weeks ago a customer came to the stand and placed an order for the Westmoreland Fire Department, as a thank you for helping them in their time of need!
What an honor and privilege it is to have been selected to express someone’s thankfulness and gratitude in the form of baked goods!
How lucky and blessed are we to have people in our small community willingly on call to drop what they’re doing to come to our aid at our most difficult and vulnerable times!
So a HUGE thank you to the Westmoreland Fire Department for all that you do for our community to keep us safe!🚒

This has been a sad day in America and even a harder day in Pennsylvania. Watching the aftermath of the two tankers colliding in responding to a structure fire a few days ago with 7 firefighters injuried with some ejected from there truck in PA., the shooting of former President Trump and a former Pennsylvania Fire Chief killed at the same event while protecting his family from a assassin, along with others shot and critically injuried. Pennsylvania has had a difficult week especially in it's fire service.

We also in New Hampshire lost one of our own. A great man Larry Dingee of Cornish who was a husband, father, fire captain, friend and fire truck builder who made life saving vehicles. He built two trucks for FD, our 36T1 and R1. This is the time to reflect on our losses and and pray for the families of all these great people who put themselves in harms way to save there fellow people and property.

We are all an extended family in America.

Hey Mark Zuckerberg. Have a question for you about your disaster shelter. Did you take into account about the ring of fire and thinking that a island is the perfect location to live out your days after a world catastrophe like a nuclear attack or even a natural or manmade EMP event or disaster? In creating a land lifeboat it's not the money that gives you survival credits but actually what's around you that does and thats more than just material things. I wouldn't consider volcanoes or building close to areas in which our military space defense systems are located. Any island from Australia to Hawaii frequently depends on resupply from countries with the supplies needed every day. Let's not even go there where lawlessness will run crazy and those knowing what you have is what they need and want to survive. When bunkers go into use it's not for a day or two, it's more likely it will be months to years. The less you count on motorized gear driven systems the better off you are unless you have multiple backups of those systems that are tested monthly and replaced when needed. Plug-in fast replacement systems is also a must have if you want to make it to the next day. Let's figure that you don't want to spend a hour spinning your air pump systems by hand. Fuel is another issue along with defending your underground homestead from takeover. You won't be able to trust local law enforcement since your pretty much last on the list for assistance just foe the fact theres more people who need help than a billionaire. Fire and medics are also out along with trained medical hospital care providers that you will need. From what I've heard your project is roughly around 260 million dollars. Attempting to maintain such a complex also is expensive and may not be high on your priorities when it should be when your wealth declines. Rotation of food supplies, greenhouse systems that you may have and ecological diversity in your greens may help keep you sane if you trust that you, yourself can maintain such a project. Maximum capacity and having others may be the key to your survival. But I still can't get over why you picked a area of the world that will be at its worse times when the hammer is dropped. While so many other places in the U.S. have wonderful built in communities already built with much natural infrastructure needed to survive for years underground. Also, being out of position will likey be your downfall. Unless a friend allows you access to there system of survival you may have purchased something that you will never be able to reach in time. I understand that you have your trusted people, but really, how trusted are they when you will be needing them for your survival when there own families or friends are dying. I've been in government bunker systems, and seen the ant farm systems that have proven track records of survival compared to those rich single family systems that fall apart when thw generator runs out if fuel in 48 hours. Many on my own page may be reading this and saying why bother. Great question, and I guess I put it this way, survival is a basic instinct. However, the more trust you have to put into your system only shows the real weakness of your $260 million dollars of surviving the long haul. Trust and knowing your powers and limitations will either let you down in the first minutes of a disaster, the inability of travel and loss of communications will be your death throws of you saying why did I ever bother. Trusting in a built network of systems, with education training and experience in relying on a community based wide area system is better suited than a linchpin failure of just one component in your survivability system of one or few.

For my closing, imagine having a nationwide network of survivability systems that won't cost you any real money but will guarantee your safety 100% more than what you have now. It doesn't take a billionaire to know that when the S**T happens those in trusted positions will become AWOL faster than your Meta to flatline when the net goes down.

We are getting there every day Mark. Closer and closer as we jave a saying in public safety, it's not if your going to need us, it's when.

Let's start the next new thing bigger than AI, it's survivability.

A important question. In today's society, do you now look at unrest, civil violence and criminal activity, and even political sides when planning your trips beyond our State of New Hampshire? If you were to put a percentage on this issue, what would it be?

I do. I started to in 2014 after the Brown riots. I would say that now before any decision for staying in another State I would give it a solid 100%. You may question why 100% as a paranoid individual. No, not exactly, it's always about safety. I've been to Aruba 5 times I believe. Why you say? It's because it's truly a safe harbor in all this hate around the world. But this is different than planning a weekend getaway to Boston which is our goto little big city in New England. I hate to say this because I can tell you before 2001 it wasn't a issue of safety but about affordability and ease of travel. I bet most reading this that our lives have changed so much after the war on terror started after the gulf war. After 9/11 it was embedded into our souls about the terror of war. After COVID I still haven't been to Boston. I think it's more like riding a horse than anything else but in today's world I look at multiple known routes to vacate just in case. I make sure my vehicle has been serviced before the trip and that I have hidden areas where I have material things that will help me if we loose a vehicle or other reasons. I bet those with kids in colleges that when you helped your daughter or son look around, safety was a primary factor in your decision.

I brought this up as a reminder, since I'm a Deputy EMD in Westmoreland that emergency planning ahead has been ingrained into our daily planning in each one of us.

Those carefree days like walking on a dirt road absorbing nature, the weather and being with your pet or someone special are the little enjoyments in life today, rather than living our lives as we once did everyday by just enjoying life.

Please be safe today, there is a cooling center opened at the Town Hall for anyone needing a little relief.

I'm pretty sure this was the highest number of general aviation with commercial and military aircraft we had in the air in New Hampshire all at one time.
