Mike, I too suffered head stuffiness and cold like symptoms once cold weather sets in. And then while doing some maintenance in my basement, I noticed that there was a flexible duct/hose from my furnace to my bedroom. This duct is the closest to the furnace and the register end is only 4 feet from my head while sleeping, but not in line with me. I took the duct out and noticed that whoever installed it 35 years prior, did it wrong and there was loose insulation that was getting blown into my bedroom. This is microscopic so you can’t see it. I ended up removing the duct and have no heat going into my bedroom now. What a difference! No issues with my health, feel better, and the temp is only a few degrees cooler than the rest of the house!

[@sidelinerbeekeeper]

Mussels stiffness can be dehydration related. Winter heat is known to lower humidity levels in home to very dry conditions causing discomfort, like dry skin, chaped lips, breathing issues. Most people can't sleep if it is hot, toss and turn and get sore neck. 70% of Americans are chronically dehydrated and don't realize it. Males should drink over a gallon of pure water a day and more than that to offset a poor diet like sugar and coffee or soda. Water fixed a lot of my body aches and joint pains.

[@iankelsey6180]

Totally agree about considering addressing air quality as it is overlooked too often. I’ve purchased a few standalone air filters (Blueair) for our bedrooms. They have carbon filters which capture numerous pollutants including smoke (I.e., wildfires). I chose this brand based on Consumer Reports but you may find another one. Good Luck!

[@robertlafnear7034]

"Wish you were here". Thats the line on the card I send to several of my friends back home while I'm basking in the sun here in CABO.. yeh it is Sun & Fun here😂... this could be THE PLACE for you to get away from the bitter cold, we could take a short ride and look for some Wahoo.... OR.... TUNA ! I know, one can not be everywhere at the same time.... and a lot of the stuffy thing when you have a wood stove is the stuff that comes from the Wood Stove.... get a humidifier and bring the moisture level up if you can in that area, just an F.Y.I. from a fellow wood burner when I have too.... Stay Warn and Safe in the Ice & Snow.😎

Weather is here. Wish you were beautiful.

[@bobgutman9691]

Mike, agree on cautious optimism. BTW, every time I see you hand load the bucket with firewood for your wood stove, I think you need to reconfigure your shed to hold only baskets and take a whole basket up at a time.

Mike, I see a neighbor's house up from where you are sawing. Do they ever complain about any noise while you are playing in the woodyard?

Another thing you can try Mike. Two squirts of Flonase everyday. I had the same problem and my Ears Nose and Throat doctor put me on Flonase. It has helped tremendously.

[@berhorst59]

I've been on Flo-Nase for a few years, and it hasn't done much for me. ENT doc says its the best, but doesn't work for everyone. He told me to keep using it, even though not much improvement; said it sometimes takes a long time for some users. It did open me up A BIT, so, maybe?

[@waynejanik9668]

[@johnsadler8637]

@@roberthughes2665 Yes, they’re also good and probably can find more saw log size trunks, but the locusts on our farm have major thorns. Like 6-10”(15-25 cm). Very hard to work near or on without getting stabbed. They have some odd chemistry that makes cuts not heal quickly. And even if you avoid the ones you see, stepping on one under leaves can run one through your shoes (and their contents!)

Delaware Valley schools went from 2hr delay to 3hr delay as they had bus starting issues. My son school and many others in Hudson Valley NY had no delay. I say that to Fleet practice issue. Do you put additive in the diesel? Do you plug the buses in? Are the bus radiators blocked ? To give yourself 3 extra hours for start up is more than temp. 🤔

[@junkersish]

I was looking forward to seeing you work in the woods felling trees and such all winter but if you avoid the mud at all cost and 20 degrees is too cold then I guess it wont happen

[@lonniechartrand]

Just curious as to whether or not you cut wood in the winter time, and when it is muddy? If so, is your ground flat? I am limited to cutting when there is snow on the ground, or if it is muddy, due to not being able to get equipment back into my woods, without the threat of damage, to either my equipment, or my land. Personally, I find it rather unsafe to cut when it is muddy out, especially on my hilly terrain. And since I don't HAVE TO CUT FOR ANY REASON, then I don't. If YOU do winter time cutting, I would like to know how you get around?

[@junkersish]

@@lonniechartrand ground is flat, I avoid the muddy parts in the fall and wait til they freeze over. Snow is great for skidding and save your saw chain dulling from hitting the dirt when cutting.I quit when there is a foot of snow on the ground.

Can’t tell how long those 4x4’s are, but at 10’, there is roughly 50 board feet of white oak. The faces looked to be clear, so I’d be pricing those at $10 per board foot. At $500, those are some expensive pieces of firewood protection.

Talking about that shooting, I still think their was something fishy about that whole thing, something like the Tyson Fight. When they showed him training ,he was a monster, in the fight not so much. And the shooting , we were watching the kid walking around , crawling up un the building with gear, but nothing was supposedly seen by the best protection in the world. But yet the audience watched it all happen , and even pointed it out to the guards , and police , and it still happened. So that is why we haven't herd anything , they don't know what to say.
