Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

-3 at 6am
About 18" snow total
Really humped through the wood the last couple days.
Filled the wood room Saturday morning and noticed a lot of Hickory and oak in the mix.
Our move out of this place to my parents homestead down the road is finally going to be a reality in the spring . Been burning down my stash here for the last 2-3 years so I don't have to move it. I think I'll have about 2 cord left.

 

3° and the old smoke dragon is sucking down locust and red oak at a great rate.

 

Too many people have let their lives become boring. Or they always have been. And they like to create drama. It doesn’t help that many have now grown up watching too much TV. Where Hollywood makes everything look more dramatic and glamorizes violence to try to get more attention so they make more money. Enough is never enough when it comes to money for some. Just look at some of the things they make into movies and TV shows. Have you ever looked and thought about what these people are choosing to make money off of. Just makes you sick.

Sorry about the rant.

 

Not too bad out there today. Stove lumping along eating poplar.

 

Out and about with the mutt earlier on.
Its cold, its dry, birch in the fire and life is good.
28°F/ -2°C outside and 68°F/ 20°C inside.

 

Thanks Marvin im really glad that i took the chance. Wearing a t-shirt, up on the roof watching sunrise...magic!

 

That works fine for the fluid contained in the radiator.... not so well for the fluid we spray on our windshields.... only bring this up as my windshield washer reservoir is currently leaking, the fluid is rated at -20 and the coldest it has gotten here is 0... I’m wondering if some of the alcohol in the fluid has evaporated.

Your windshield can get colder than the temperature outside, but only after you’ve sprayed on washer fluid.
Washer fluid is a mix of methyl alcohol, also known as methanol, and water. The alcohol keeps it from freezing (and bursting) in your car’s washer fluid reservoir and lines.
But once that wiper fluid is exposed to air on your windshield, the alcohol starts evaporating, leaving behind water. That remaining water is what freezes on your windshield.
And that evaporation can make your windshield, and the washer fluid, colder than it is outside, says Janet Elliott, University of Alberta chemical engineering professor and Canada Research Chair in Thermodynamics.

 

Good thing water doesn't evaporate at speed, eh ?

It might leave salts and dirt behind to make seeing out of the windshields difficult.
