NO HEAT during WINTER #vanlife in New York?
Our Crazy Chinese Diesel Heater Upgrade
We've upgraded our Diesel Heater setup
Remember the epic tale of our Vevor diesel heater acquisition for our beloved greenhouse? After embarking on several heroic test runs, we hit a monumental snag—our fuel tank was about as sufficient as a chocolate teapot in a heatwave. So, we super-sized to a tank that's more ‘Texas’ than ‘Tiny Tim’. Now we slumber like babies, our dreams unhaunted by the spectre of a chilly apocalyptic crop freeze. Bring it on, Mother Nature—we’re equipped for your curveballs! Read the full article
Breaking the Ice: How a Chinese Diesel Heater Turned Our Canadian Greenhouse into a Tropical Paradise on a -20°C Groundhog Day
What's all the fuss with a Chinese Diesel Heater?
You've heard of space heaters, but have you ever experienced the unparalleled warmth of a Chinese Diesel Heater? Ah, it's like smuggling a small sun into your greenhouse just to thumb your nose at February's frosty frown. Imagine, if you will, a greenhouse so toasty that the cucumbers think they’re vacationing in Cancun, and the cacti start applying sunscreen. This isn't just a heater; it’s a botanical beach party waiting to happen, where every sprout can kick off their seed coats and soak up some diesel-powered rays. Now, one might think a Chinese Diesel Heater is akin to inviting a dragon to belch in the corner, and, well, you wouldn’t be entirely wrong. There's a certain magic to it—like convincing a mythical creature to defrost your petunias. Your plants are not merely surviving; they're throwing on sunglasses and blending margaritas. Conventional wisdom might whisper, “Plants don’t need tropical holidays,” but your peppers will be too busy sipping piña coladas to listen. Thanks to our Chinese Diesel Heater, gone are the days of wilted winter lettuce. Instead, we have greens so vibrant, that they’re practically doing the salsa. So, let February do its worst. Inside our greenhouse, it's always a balmy 20°C, with a zero percent chance of snow, and a 100% chance of confused, but cozy, vegetables. Read the full article
High Cholesterol High Jinks: 7 Doctor-Ordered Antics from Tasty to Terrible Post-Blood Test Reveal
High Cholesterol High Jinks
High cholesterol wasn't what I had expected to hear
OK so: a suspenseful few weeks back I played a leading role in the thrilling series "Bloodwork: The Vampiric Chronicles" — a blockbuster produced by my family MD. Scene one: the setup, scheduled by Doc a month in advance (I imagine, to build dramatic tension). Scene two: Yours truly in the lab, offering my best vein for a ceremonious withdrawal of the red stuff. And... cut! Cue the weeks of nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat waiting, where I became a Zen master of patience. Truth be told, I basked in the eerie silence from the doc's office and thought, "Score! I'm probably so healthy I'm off the charts!" After all, as the wise folks often quip: "No news is good news"— especially when it's about escaping the dreaded callback from the doctor. I'd like to thank the Academy, my veins, and my overly optimistic brain for this peace of mind. Read the full article
