Off-Topic Discussion / Re: How do you earn a living?

Zulch  - It's actually funny you mentioned Radiant heat. Before the Pandemic shut the state down in 2020 I was building Radiant Floor heating systems. Got laid off for a bit, then let go all together cause they're just wasn't enough work for 4 of us. Kicked around doing odd jobs till I hit upon the stove thing and haven't looked back.

Len - Thanks! It's very satisfying work. I was even able to rescue a circa 1912 Glenwood Oak parlor stove that was destined for the metal dumpster. It's in my shed, as I'm gathering part to restore it to It's former glory. Thing's MASSIVE too. Stands about 5'5" and takes a 26" log.

We still cut, split and stack for my parents, my wife's grandparents and lug pellets for various family members. My grandfather used to say that firewood warms you 3 times. Once when you split it, twice when you stack it and thrice when you burn it.

Captainkirk  - agreed. Them Texas boys must have forearms the size of oak trees, cause holding a Walker in each hand for any lengthy period of time is WORK.

I Fix/Install Wood and Pellet stoves in people's homes. Big ones, small ones, old ones and new ones. Been at it for 9 months now. It's good honest work. Though I gotta admit, I  never gave it much thought till I started doing it.  I always figured if you bought a stove, you just installed it in your home yourself.

Thanks fellas.  :-[ . I figured the more SAA's we get into the hands of good people the quicker history could repeat itself,  and the next thing you know  we'll be partying like it's 1879!

Sidpost - So, I talked with the gentleman in question regarding his 1873. No dice. He wants to hold it awhile longer. No worries though. If enough of us are looking, I'm sure you'll get a line on one.

I MIGHT know a fellow that has a Cimarron 1873 SAA in .45 Colt  with a 7 inch barrel that's just collecting dust. The same fellow MIGHT even be willing to scrounge up some new brass for it too. If that somebody's ticket, I'll ask him when I see him this week. See what he wants for it.

G Dog, Miguel - You're correct, Mayan. And yes it's a truly unique and culturally rich place to be.

Zulch - 6.5 months. It's super cheap if you go native. IIRC  the exchange rate at the time was 8:1 in favor of the USD.

Electric Miner - Those lil french toast look delicious!

G Dog - No, Jaguars. We were primarily in the southwestern  portion of the country. A little town called San Carlos Alzacate. I did get a chance to travel to the eastern portion of the country, more jungle, saw some pyramids, temples and ruins(Aztec I think, but I'll have to check my notes from the trip). Saw lots of Monkeys, Birds and Alligators.

Zulch - Plantains, refried beans w/cream, an egg and some homemade corn tortillas. Breakfast of champions!!! Wash it down with some black coffee and head out to the fields.

WOW!!!!  Seeing those really takes me back. I spent 2007 living in
 Guatemala with friends. In the small mountain town we lived in(pop. 800 spread over a 100sq mile area) there resided a woman who baked to support herself. She made little baguette like breads that looked just like those. I'd come by every Wednesday and buy 2 dozen of the for myself and my traveling companion, for the week. It was a pleasant break from tortillas and plantains.

Zulch- Hiding a horse is easy. It's hiding the barn, feed and various paraphernalia that come with it that becomes tricky.
