    Better watch out WW, JT is -on fire- tonight, that 4 letter word is gonna get you Modded.. :D

    Weather here in the North East is definitely 'Indian Summer' - kinda eerie actually. I'll take it, though.

    Still wondering what late November / December will bring, last time this weather pattern happened (El Nino) we had a big-time Ice Storm ('08) .. Leaves are almost done, looking at the Gen test for Wednesday next week.

    Stay Warm!

    The oaks let go of their leaves yesterday or last night so it looks like one final BIG cleanup. Maybe Sunday

    Same here used the stove for maybe 1/2 hour total in the last few days . Getting ready to head out with some friends visiting from the Berkshires . I guess things will be starting to cool down a little hoping to try some different brands in the next couple of weeks . Have a good one all .:D

    No time today for leaf pickup. Plus the front yard is still a mess as the roof isnt done yet-maybe finished today.

    I may be waiting until next weekend for the leaves

    Furnace has been off for almost a week. Unheard of for November. Lows in the low 30's for the next two nights, but after that should be able to turn the furnace off again. It was 41 this morning, but still 71 in the house, so all is well. No furnace needed, no frying pans to duck!

    Burning Maine's Choice right now. What an awful pellet. I want them to be good because I really like the bags.

    I got a few bags this year. In the past I was one of the few that got good results from them. Interested to see what these will do.

    They were okay in the P61a last year, but not what I would call a good pellet.

    I found a poor pellet might work ok on the high setting with the gate wide open but once turned down starts to burn dirty . :rolleyes:

    Same here G. All of the oaks dropped their leaves this past week. I am proud to report my leaf pickup duties are DONE for the year! Only 4 full passes this year too. Usually have to do 6. Also want to mention that today was another top 10 day. Holy crap, it was gorgeous out! The temps remained cool - mid 50s maybe, but in the sun it felt very warm!
