2022 what did you do today?

Mark should have said natural gas.
Being on fixed income yes I will complain. Pretty natural for people not to complain when they can't actually afford stuff.

We use propane for cooking, clothes dryer and hot water...wood for heat. The only rise in cost of the wood it my poor back and that is getting harder each year.

Hi Pat, Im curious as to how much wood you use where you are in NC. I know you are quite high in elevation.
Im 64 and still doing mostly wood for the house and all-wood for the shop. I do like putting up my own winter heat but it's getting harder.

Bob, we burn 4 to 5 cords a year. We are at 2600' elevation. I'm almost 72 and also enjoy the wood getting project but it gets harder each year. We have 25 acres of woods here where we live so we have a good supply. My main problem is I don't have a tractor or 4x4 so access is limited.

Well I might have squealed before I was hurt too bad on the natural gas. Everything I heard was bad but just got the bill about $15 more than last month set on 68 in the house. Has went up but not so terrible yet.  and I am a worry wart at times.

Mark should have said natural gas.

I understand, I was talking about natural gas as well. Crude oil, gasoline, propane, natural gas and probably every other form of hydrocarbon are all international commodities that float with their markets. Because of all the disruption with covid in 2020 and 2021 natural gas reserves in North America are much lower than is normal and this has caused the markets to be jittery about supply problems and is keeping the prices for all of them high.

We have a pre buy here in August for $1.99 per gallon, 100 gallon minimum, I get 200 most times and 300 every now and then.

I think is around $3.00 now

Got out in the woods for a couple hours, worked on my current bow build a bit, and ordered some wood shafts for my next arrows.....also got in a trip to registry to renew my driver's license. New mug shot is looking good,lol

Made Progress in my ILF Prototype.
Roughed out and mounted the Hardware.

Need to build a Drill jig.

Just have a Set of cheap 25# Glass limbs. They suck.
Waiting for better limbs to Test IT properly.

I scored a little dust collector. We use these little guys at work on our cut off saws. This one has a bad motor and switch and was headed for the recycle bin.

It was raining steady since last night and now it's turning into this sloppy mess.

It doesn't show in the picture, but the snow flakes are big wet sloppy things.

Worked on my ILF limbs today to go with the riser I made. Had a center line off so I used a laser to get back on track and transfer to limb button.

Yup, you can put the laser in the Hillbilly shop but you can't take the Hillbilly outa how it's used.
