    It's been hot for a few days here as well, humid today too! I turned on the dehumidifier in the basement today and it's been running solid all afternoon (set at 60). I am definitely done burning for the season. Last time burned was the night of 4/30. There are a couple nights this week where the temps are going to get down to ~40 degrees, but given how warm it is during the day, I welcome those night time temps as they cool the house down nicely!

    I'm right on the edge of starting mine up. 83 here yesterday, cloudy and showers and temps dropped all day today. My weather station is reading 53 right now but very damp. I may run it for an hour before I go to bed.

    Might have to fire it back up again Wednesday. Lows in the low 40's and highs in the 50's tomorrow and wednesday. It's late enough in the spring that most of my solar gain is gone, so we'll see if I can hold off till normal weather on Thursday.

    40s tonight and tomorrow night. Then 70s daytime and 50s nighttime for the foreseeable future. That's my kind of spring!

    Gonna try to hold off, but it's not looking good. Low of 39 tonight. It's 68 in the house right now...we'll see what the temp is at 6 am. Good thing I'm lazy and hadn't done the year end cleaning yet!

    37 outside...65 inside...and the stove stays OFF. It would be different if we were going to be here today, but wife is gone by 7, and I follow her out the door shortly after.

    Yeah, I fired up last night and sure enough the hopper needed feeding or it wouldn't have burned long. First bag opened in a while
