What is something that you have done for a long time but you are planing to stop doing?

I have heated my home with firewood for over 30 years but I think I have had enough of it. It is a lot of hard work and not very good for the environment so this will probably be the last year I heat with wood. I am going to go with electricity so I started buying energy efficient space heaters. Electricity is pretty cheap in BC plus in BC it is all produced from renewable resources. Heating with wood has helped keep me in good shape so I will have to find some kind of exercise. Cheers and happy weekend!

      One year and two days later, let’s have an update; how well did you do?

     Wait! Before you stop doing that completely, how about squeezing in just one more guy?

      Ok, fine, it’s too late, so instead of that, how about just squeezing me? I’m sure we’d both like it a lot.

    If you mean the not burring wood to help the environment it is a nice gesture - it is. But I think I am mostly doing it because I'm tired of all the hard work that goes with burning wood. I have always tried to keep the smoke that comes out my chimney clean by burning really dry wood and not using a lot of junk to get the fire started. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Someday, I will stop breathing and living. Then I’ll be dead.
