#DailyPictureTheme for March 28, 2024
Today’s picture theme is #Perk
One of the PERKS of working in the computer industry was all of the SWAG (Stuff We All Get) that they would give you instead of raises. There was an entire display case of the stuff at the Digital building in Marlboro, MA.
#OnThisDay - March 28th (2014)
I thought I was going to save money by spending $5000 for a pellet boiler when oil prices were spiking. What I got was a backache from lugging 40 pound bags from the car to cellar. Also carrying a half ton couldn’t be that good for the suspension. These photos were taken on one of my pellet runs on this day in 2014.
The boiler stands unused in the basement now. I’m using a split for extra heat. The boiler is available, make an offer and take it away.
Improves with Age
I’ve given this publication the name “Improves with Age” and I hope to achieve that in the coming year. Hopefully I can keep to a schedule of a post every day, featuring a photo theme and a look back into the archives.
Never did pellets but did cut firewood on my property. I harvested sick or dead trees. Some of them had ants. Stacking the wood nest to my 100 yr old Willow was a mistake. Last wk due to the ice the willow lost it's largest section. It was V-shaped and split. Looks like the ants weakened it. I now buy 'clean' firewood from locals. My back with herniated discs appreciates. Forty years ago I was told by my neurologist I had the back of a 74 yr old. I hope that's still true.
