    Not yet, but yesterday mama was complaining about being cold. Like I read somewheres on the forum, "if mama ain't happy, then ain't nobody happy". Might need to break the October 1st rule soon. It was down around 40 this morning.

    I really look forward to the first fire of the fall. Nothing like wood heat. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

    Betting you can solve the "too many trees:hair:" problem.

    :D

    It sounds like it is time to light it up! Be a rule breaker!

    Yes, unfortunately, I know it's coming sooner rather than later. The thing is, I really like fall, I'm just not overly fond of what comes after.

    Oh, neighbors may not like you if you made firewood out of their trees.
    One good thing is , leaves make good compost

    Up to 47° here

    Only rule I have to follow is when it gets cold enough outside that the house stays cold, the fire gets lit. The HEAT pump is for air ONLY. Not heat. And, if the over night lows get any lower than they were last week, that time is at hand. Woke up to a 68 degree house all last week. That made for a brisk exit from the shower every morning. I don't like early morning brisk shower exits. God Bless

    So, does the bike get put away until Spring now? Do you have an indoor trainer you can set it on? I'll probably set my bike on the trainer soon as I think I might be able to start peddling easy before too long. Then maybe by Spring I can ride again. Getting ready for hunting now.
