    Hoping for at least one pickup load in the morning myself! 15 here and just loaded the furnace with some more red oak. Also threw a few chunks in the stove tonight for a relatively short burn and something to sit in front of:coldfire: Hope you have a productive day in the woods tomorrow:saw:

    Another mild night at 28, with a low of 21 predicted for sunrise. The stove is loaded up for the night with some nice dry chunks of red oak. 704FCCC3-3F0A-46AB-9281-7487262CBD1C.jpeg

    Well, another cold night here. I guess those forecasters haven't figured out that when it's clear out, the temps have that slight tendency to plummet!! Maybe they should have spent less time in classrooms looking at computers and more time outside! :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    It's -19 right now and there's a little room left...........

    And he hopes he never has to do it again! Snow doesn't bother me much but as I age the cold isn't so kind any more.
