    26 deg, I was looking for some small stuff and found two splits of Hard Maple crotches in the center of the stack. The picture book definition of uglies with all the torn wood fibers sticking out, totally unstackable. Well, as we speak, they're throwing heat. Good to get rid of them. And at 26*, I can feel justified burning Hard Maple.

    We had 26 this morning so we'll let the stove go cold (coals from last nights fire burning down) and let the sun do the job.

    About the same here, but im definitely looking forward to 70 degree days, even if it only lasts a couple days. Whatever helps dry things up so i can get to projects is ok by me!

    one of thing on to do list is get excavator dig drive down few feet ... fabric and stone... so it's passable in mud season... so it's one of 3 things.. 1) I am fat and got a touch of lazy... or 2 waiting on resources (namely time money and weather) or my honey do list is growing... probably a little of all the above... time to go drop chains and blower off :tractor:

    I have 52 on the back porch and 65 on the front at 2:22PM. A little windy but the breeze is warm enough to enjoy it. Elm and Maple in the boiler, but it hasn't run much.

    60 here and only down to high 30s over night. Tomorrow we're forecast to hit 70, so the Boiler is cold, and that's fine with me. Looks like next week it will be back in action, so I'll enjoy the sun while I can.

    Stayed at the cottage last night and lit off the 13 for a short fire. Took these pics from a dark room....it really is burning; the flash from the camera just offset the lighting. And the heckling you hear in the background is 99 lbs questioning just what the heck am I taking pics of a stove for???!!!!!!!!!!! :D Ash and maple.

    What the....??

    After two days of temps in the 70's (just barely) and 60's, we are forecasted to get up to 8" tomorrow and tomorrow night! Of snow, that is.

    As usual, I have not yet put the shovels away! :p
