Marshmallows

Bill brought home another half load of firewood today.  We should have enough to get us through the winter.  It's all oak and will burn long.  We have a lot of firewood.  A LOT.

 

Guess it's time to replenish our marshmallow stash!

 

After we unloaded the back of the truck, Bill moved it back to the driveway.  When he went to roll up the driver's side window, it wouldn't close all the way.  He tried a couple of things, then he had to tear the door apart to get at the window mechanism.  Did you know that crochet hooks can be used in car repair?  Bill couldn't get part of the window winder handle off and I thought maybe a hook could reach inside the door to get the winder handle clasp off.  Worked wonders!  Of course, then we had to look underneath the car for the clasp because Bill dropped it!  He was hoping it was an easy fix, but no luck.  Several months back, the same thing happened with his Impala and we had to buy a replacement mechanism.  The problem this time is that the car is a 1976 model of a car that is not being made anymore, so it may well mean a trip to a junkyard to find another part.  If there are any, that is.  For now, he's blocked the window in place inside the door with a couple of blocks of wood - just like he did with the Impala.  But he's not going to be driving the El Camino for a while, not until he figures out something if he can't find the replacement parts.  Sorry Otter, looks like you'll be dependent on your mother for transportation for a while!  She usually drives Bill's Impala but he's going to be needing it for the near future.

 

Well, at least he got the last load of firewood first!
