Would you look at this, I haven't even had a couple days since I've announced my upcoming retirement and I've already figured out how to make a fire for heat.
HEY SHUT UP! You gotta start somewhere!
So I built a pot belly furnace stove out of an old 55 gallon barrel and some heating pipe. Now I can get some animals and keep them nice and toasty are winter long. In fact, with the furnace in a central location, I can build 4 different cages (corrals, whatever) around the heater and really get some food going. (hence the term: central heating)
I think I'll start out with hens. They sound easy enough. Go out and get some fresh eggs everyday. Free food. Hell yeah, why not? Throw in some roosters now and then for some babies, let them grow up. Free chicken! Repeat process for continual flow of free meat and eggs. Soon I will be supplying KFC with ALL their chickens!!
So we normally eat a couple dozen eggs a week as a family, at a buck and a half a dozen. Take that times 52 weeks, plus a couple of dozen extra for Easter (we really go thru them then). Let's see that's a savings of $159/year just in eggs! And I'm sure that poultry feed for a year is only like 1 or 2 bucks so I'm still saving tons of money! NOT!
Ok, ok. So I have a few bumps to work out, but I still have a plan to keep live animals this winter without them becoming animal-cicles so get off my back! And need I remind you that I did this while STILL working full time for "the man". Just think what stupid ideas I can get when I have all the free time in the world!
I know, your all laughing now but you wait and see! At least I won't be getting up and going to work like SOME people I know out there! In fact, I think I'm going to burn my alarm clock for MORE FREE HEAT! Ha ha ha ha ha! (yeah, I'm losing it!)
Todays RBV:
Jonah 2:10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
And once again, sometimes the Bible verse is so absurd, it needs no comment at all

So in a way you are going to build a place to keep all the animals.
Hmmmmmm You shuold give it a name.
Like "Animal Roundup Kitchen" or ARK db
Just don't bring that fire pit into the house, dear. I'm all for the idea of heat in the pole barn, no cockadoodle doo-ing in the basement this year!!!
Call it what you will, say what you will, but just like Noah, I will be laughed at and scorned. But one day the world will see that only ONE man was loyal to the Lord, and shall be blessed with fresh eggs. Amen
