The Hard-Working Man | Port Protection


2m read
·Nov 11, 2024

When you get to my age, you always got to go slow. Makes everything harder, but I plan to continue doing my work if I can. Setting down roots in Port Protection requires a commitment to living at the edge of one's limitations. If you comprehend that commitment, more than seventy-year-old Gary Muehlberger, well, I'm knocking down the creosote that collected from me burning wet wood all summer.

The wet wood creates that creosote, know dimensionally choke off the chimney at the top, and it couldn't let the smoke out. Getting up on the roof there is probably not OSHA-approved, but, uh, living by myself, I'm the guy that's got to do it. It's best to do this when the fall there, get ready for a winter. You don't want to be climbing up there when it snows.

I need to get out the road there, get me some good drive vulpine. I prefer burning bull pine because it's already dry on the stump. Most other wood, you have to keep it for a year before you want to burn it. This goal driver cut some wood. The bull pine is the hottest and cleanest burning wood I ever ran across.

It's a hard day's work, but, uh, the hard work and man, he don't have any problem sleeping. Come on, traps. A lot of people make fun of me because I do do extra work just to get my wood. But down the road, it pays itself to fold. It keeps my chimney clean, and where I have to cut ten loads of the other kind of wood, I only have to cut seven loads of the bull pine.

You keep on learning, then pretty soon you're a pretty smart guy if you can remember. Now that's what's getting me now, trying to remember everything I forgot. More than most guys already know.
