Well, thank you for the interesting report, Alan. Yes, well, I don't have a wood stove now. If I had a real wood stove, I would be violating my lease. Don't think that I haven't thought about it, though. How could I do this? This little smile, like papoose. And my grandpa had a papoose stove, an ice fishing, shanty-sized stove. Little tiny, like, bright little teeny tiny chimney and everything. Like, I just put it in the corner, and open the window, and put the chimney out of the window. It wouldn't last long here if I did that. Don't think I haven't thought about it, though. So I'm content with the visual effect of a fire. I even rewired the two light bulbs in series. So they're two, instead of, it was too bright, unrealistically bright. These are two, either 25 or 40 watt incandescent bulbs in there. And it was unrealistically bright looking. So when I modified the reflecting material inside of there to make it more randomized and more realistic I also rewired the two bulbs in series. So at half voltage, they're 1 fourth power. So a 40 watt light bulb becomes a 10 watt light bulb. Or I think they're 25 watt. So they are now like 6 and 1 half, or 6 and 1 quarter watt bulbs, which might seem pretty dim. But it's the visual effect of just a gentle gas, like the vaporizing wood smoke, the wood gas coming off and burning lightly and kind of dimly, how it is when you've got it backed off.
