    13° F this morning with the stove packed with red and sugar maple. I wasn't sure what pile(s) I wanted to start drawing from next to finish out the season. After grabbing a few random maple splits the other week, that kind of sealed the deal. The hickory and elm can go another year :)

    15F... back into some silver maple for a bit, with a few old hedge sticks holding back against the cold. Should be a decent warm up this week.

    Thank you. :handshake:

    It is intermittent now and was real bad a few years back. I was scheduled for injections and then asked.....what about therapy? A moment of silence in the exam room and the reply was No one has tried therapy on it yet? :whistle: It worked.

    I've got a couple exercises to try on it once again.

    -1/67. Plenty light enough to get a walk in now before the rest of the day presents itself.

    Got up to 35F today. 21 now. This morning the fire was out and 59F inside. A stove of oak and hickory brought the whole house up to70F. One load was enough for the whole day.

    View of the last of the coals before we let the fire go out around 10am. House stayed 70F till 8pm. Letting the house cool down a bit before I start the fire back up.
