As I began to tear it apart, noticed a 'fan' that it suppose to feed air into the chamber but no telling why it's not working. Anyway, I'm trying to cut the steal cage out & replace it with digital infrared electric heater.

Living room Fire Place. Wood only. Last winter, little heat, lots of "blow back" smoke. Took the baffle plates off. Couldn't see a problem. The flume seems good.

I've been busy, like most days. Today, • Started fermentation on new batches of wine. • Had to clean(mop) floors from Rio' diarrhea poop fest. • Picked up crap around the fire place; Sealed (taped up) protective plastic around it. • Begin to cut the steal plating.

I love sitting out on the patio but it gets breezy & cold. The current fire pit is really more for decoration than a heater. But I ordered outdoor stand-alone propane heater. I think it arrives tomorrow. I'm so use to TX heat that here, there IS a Fall season w/cooler temps!!

Then I remembered - I heard varmit noises last night; mice? chipmunk? squirrel? raccoon? IDK. But I went checking & sure enough I found huge hole the varmit created. I temporarily put expanding foam there. I know they can chew thru it but I'll fix it better, tomorrow.

Not as many people stopped by on the Pecos Studio Tour today. Still, met new people living in the community; heard some history; had a great time. It was clear day but blustery day!

Beautiful day today! Laura had her 1st day on the Pecos Studio Tour! We had a good flow of people but some were for supporting the Glorieta Fire Dept. Open House. They were piggybacking off the Pecos Studio Tour. 😎

The "Muse" A.I. is having issues trying to read tweets & mirror them to Blusky. But at least it's trying ... it told me how to setup the necessary connections & even provided diagnostic info back. Impressive!

It's been raining cats & dogs here in Santa Fe, NM. For about 2 was. Off & On rain. But like Tuesday to Wednesday it was non-stop. Slow rain, hard rain, really hard rain. It's caused problems but we needed the rain! Really bad flooding south.

You know I should tweet more. I do what I can. I'm really busy doing shit so it becomes difficult to stop & tweet so often. I KNOW, "Others" do it. I'm not them.

I researched, ordered, installed a TOSOT mini-split. I paid, what i think, was higher than normal cost to install 230V box for the mini-split. But, I was 'banking' good Karma w/electrician recommended by my neighbor.

¡Mañana Cabrón!" has smoothed out a lot. I think some (probably alot) of the hop sediment settled in the keg. So I jossle the keg to "stir up" the sediment into the beer to give it that added hop flavor.
