Additionally, WT is full of gas and propane, has been unloaded and winterized:  clean and buttoned down awaiting need or adventure.  For those who were not here or do not remember&#8230;the first winter in this house, I had a chimney fire (I neglected to have the chimney swept after I bought the house&#8230;a task that has NOT been forgotten since!).  Thinking the house was about to go up in flames, I sat with Karl and Bob in a cold motorhome and contemplated whether I had made the correct choices for my homeowner&#8217;s insurance &#8230; whether I would have enough money for things like dish towells was my worry&#8230;seriously!! &#8211; as well as why I hadn&#8217;t thought to keep my &#8220;spare house&#8221; full of propane so I could run it&#8217;s furnace&#8230;.

AND, my insurance coverage will allow me to obtain an adequate supply of dish towells should the worst happen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Dec11\/Weather3304.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Dec11\/Weather3304.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile we pray for snow&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Dec11\/Weather3306.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Dec11\/Weather3306.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But nothing stops Bear!
