    Went to TSC yesterday bought couple bags of hardwood and 1 bag softwood. Forget names and I do not have that smart phone thingy for pix. TSC dropped prices to 4.99 for softwood. Another pellet person there said he does not like softies only hardwood as less ash. I said to each their own ....... . Will burn some today to save Vermonts. 55 Sunday then it goes down quick for the week.

    Yep, Back to work tomorrow. :tears:

    Crappy azz weather here too, Snow last night changed to a warm rain today. Made a big slushy mess of things. Hoping most of the slush melts before the refreeze tonight. Or it will be a slick ride in tomorrow.

    But on a good note, got 20 plus vacation days getting a reboot. :cool:

    Oh I just finished cleaning up about 6" of snow with a 1/10 " of ice on top, busted two shear pins.

    ETA: Currently enjoying a Celebration Ale :cheers:.

    Sick as hell, doc put me on a bunch of meds, but had to stop the medrol steroids, that stuff had my heart rate up over 120. I am couple bags shy of a ton, and had to get a deep cleaning done today. Temps on Wednesday are showing 9 degrees at night.

    One last thing, maybe you all can help me solve a mystery, no need for a new thread. I store pellets in the outside shed, no problem thus far. Went out today to get cleaning stuff and left the door open. It was not raining, but the temps were warmer outside then inside the shed. I reached over and I had moisture all over my bags of pellets :hair: I never had that happened before, so I dried them off, cut a bag open, and there all good inside the bag. Could the diffrence in temps cause the moisture, even a couple of cardboard boxes felt damp. The shed is insulated, and no leaks. I have a fan running in there now!

    Just went out to the shed, and turned off the fan, all bags are dry, I guess it was just moisture from the temp difference!

    Sounds like condensation to me ,like if you wear glasses and go from cold to warm they steam up if that makes any sense .
