That might of been nice years ago but not needed now.

I actually only had a stroller for one, the older ones would walk.

was it this stroller? (You know I have to make fun of you.....)

Wow someone got their panties in a bunch. You never mentioned wind blown tree to begin with so don't be a jerk about it now.

I never understood why Americans call it a snow machine. Lol. I've always called it a snowmobile or just ski-do. Used to ride on one every winter with my dad when he checked his traps. Growing up we got our wood from the lumber company throw away piles at the cut sites. Of course we managed to get a huge stockpile BEFORE winter because cutting up trees when they're frozen isn't fun. They make a damn mess in the shop if you're waiting for them to thaw first.

We have a wood fireplace in the house here, but it needs a good cleaning. I'd like to use it. Medical care here is expensive.

Pretty sure Jacques is using nuclear power. She is in Japan after all.

Hey steve when is tiff's due date?

Lol. Why are you being so maliciously PC?

We take wind blown spruce for firewood. Got it? The wind blows it down. We are sitting on top of more timber than I have ever seen in 30 years - hundred fifty footers piled like pick-up sticks from a wind storm last fall.

These would rot if we didn't use them. Been doing this for thirty years. While you've been burning petrochemicals and supporting the whole military-industrial complex surrounding that US addiction - I've been using renewable energy. To heat my cabin and shop.

It's incredible what a thimbleful of snowmachine gas will haul over the snow. I welded that sled in the picture. Me, the killer.

It is a great lifestyle, especially for the boys. But you know, people have these off-the-shelf PC put-downs they can deploy to score points with their internet buddies. Even cry for humanity over your crimes.

You wasn't clear in your original post. I thought you go chop down the trees!

Good for your family to embrace the bare minimum rustic lifestyle.

I still prefer the convenience of electrical energy at my fingertips.

By the way, you need to change your keyboard which seems to have an extra key here.

You must be talking about TBoneX here. He likes to solicit for +1 for his every post.

You are more than welcome to report him to the mod.

What age should kid stop using stroller?

I have seen kids obviously big sized enough, capable of walking, still siting in stroller pushed around by the parents.

Artic Cat and Polaris are both up here and we call them snowmobiles...

Speaking of which, see ma'am: A couple of days ago, we took Mini-B. to PetSmart to see all the critters. Among the guinea pigs (a.k.a. cuy, or "dinner" to Mrs. T-B.'s folk) was one that was covered in hair. Mrs. T-B. fell in love with it and wanted to adopt it. I told her that it would become dinner for her family during their next visit or, more immediately, dinner or a living-not-for-long scratching-post for the cat, miu man. I added that I'm not adopting a non-cat that I have to brush, no man.

I agree about a cat and a guinea pig. Guinea pigs are kind of stupid and docile and don't even stand a chance. Plus, they are usually kept in open C&C cages (you can get a cover) and you need to get a pair of them rather than one.

No set age, it's up to the parent really and I guess your child. The Tornado likes the stroller but only when she's really tired.

I don't use the stroller once they are comfortably walking unless it is going to be a very long day. However, I do and have used the jogging stroller up until this summer (when the little one was 5) because kids can't walk that fast or that far and it is good for exercise. Most jogging strollers are designed to take a kid up until 75 pounds.

[N-o-l-a 7,168]

Oh my goodness, it is going to be super warm here in the coming weeks. Eeek.

[NikLR 13,228]

There's an age minimum for jogging strollers too because of the shaking.

I use ski-do like you say kleenex for any tissue or band aid for any elastic bandage, one of those brand names used for all makes and models of an item.

Btw merry, I hearts you!

Got a name yet Steve?

I'm looking forward to the 30s temp next week.
