    Loaded down with hickory and hedge now. Love it. Very stingy with wood, yet keeps the house at 74 all over (5 zones) and makes umpteen gazillion gallons of DHW a day for this big family.

    Supposed ro be a low of 12°F but it's already 9°F and it's only 830. So I expect more like around zero deg. None the less the stove is loaded and the house is low 70s

    "The stars at night were big and bright" (apologies to Texas) last night when I went to fire up. It ended up dropping to -7f, then the clouds rolled in.

    It is a very mild 14f right now!

    Wow. Looking at the forecast it appears we definitely will have a green Christmas here. Supposed to warm up by Friday then really warm for a few days.

    As for today, so far we've had some wonderful sunshine! Looks like that very well might end soon though. I hope to get out to finish the job I started yesterday but first this old body need some TLC. Hope it eases things as I really want to work outdoors.
