    Well it's the third day of burning here, also the third day of wind and rain. 13C/55F just lit the fire with some pine kindling and 3 small splits of eucalyptus.

    Now the trick will be how to get a clean burn without cooking myself out of the house.

    28 here. Ash in the momma bear. I have a bad feeling there's not going to be a mushroom season this year

    House was between 64-68 this morning. We got to the low 40s last night and it again is really windy today, probably more so than during the storms yesterday. The wind behind the storm I guess. Didn't build a fire last night and with highs in the 50s it won't get any warmer today. Will have to start a fire when I get home if the wife hasn't already. We're going to be in the 30s in the morning.

    This is one of the later fires I have had in April and the most fire I have ever had in April. Usually it's just a random one at this point if I have one. And then just a few pieces of wood to warm up and let it go out, I have been loading it to last through the night so far in every fire in april.

    Right where I want to be.
    Been snowing since last Friday, and hasn't stopped. I'm taking a guess we have close to 18" so far and it isn't supposed to stop until about 8pm.
    The sky is falling. It's very pretty.:whistle:
    Glad we don't actually need to go anywhere.

    I was outside for a little bit this morning and about froze. Mostly because it is so damp and ice falling off the trees but I got chilled all over. Sitting by the fire now.

    Just below freezing at the moment, and heading a couple degrees above freezing for a high. Got most of my absolute ugly horrid wood out of the pile before the rain and into the shed yesterday. Should last a week or so. Poplar uglies heating the way.

    That thought had occurred to me Dennis. I've got a crap ton of dead Ash & Cherry that'll season over the Summer no problem, just gotta get it processed. I've got 15-20 cord of Oak as well, but I'll never get it dry in time. Most of what I'm processing now is soft Maple, I can get by on that fine till the real cold sets in. 30F here down from a whopping high of 33. Stiff West wind & snow on & off all day. Ash & Elm in the furnace for overnight.
