    Yeah, thanks. Sure enough, there was a buck that decided to cross the road as I came over the crest of a hill. Glad I got the brakes done a little while back. Not quite a panic stop, but put the brakes on harder than you normally would around here!

    We had a cool 48 with a nice wind so when we came home with the pallet forks, I started a nice pine fire and then the wife wanted a second for drying clothes so the basement was 80.

    After the baseball game we'll have another. The temp is suppose to drop in the mid 30's tonight.

    Getting cooler at night now. About 35 earlier this morning. I may start getting the Wood Gun and chimney ready over the next few days. A good cleaning and check is in order. And replacing all batteries in detectors.

    Had fire going yesterday mostly to chase the dampness away. Just got home again a bit ago and wife was starting another fire to chase the chill away. Fine with me. That's the reason we put up firewood!

    Weve been around 0c and 4c all day with some snow squalls. No fire last night as I got in late but there will be one tonight. Cant wait!
    Heres a picture I took on the way to work earlier today.

    Yeah I find it easier to keep the fire going then it is to restart them but since I have a non cat I haven't been burning steady much yet. I have a nice little lodgepole pine top down fire going now though! This pic is about an hour old. Not sure what to throw on it in about an hour, larch or the less dense doug fir. We will see.

    Woke up to 31 and a good bed of coals. In went some assorted shorts ( beech, black and white birch, oak, ash, maple and elm make up my stacks). I don't call them uglies as I am shorter than average. Does that make me ugly? :wacky:

    44 this here morning. I think I had the wrong location on my weather channel app the other day when I reported 35. I just realized this morning that I still had Lake Placid up on there. Says 30 for up there this morning. :doh:

    Sitting at mid 50's now; heading for the low 30's again tonight. Unfortunately, we are having one of those days where you already hit the high temps! It'll just be slowly dropping throughout the day now.

    My inner cheapass couldn't take the thought of the furnace any longer. Got some maple in the downstairs stove.
