    So the wind took half the pine! Now the bottom half can come down too. I'm glad the top didn't hit the house or a car. It must have made a scary noise, was your son home?

    Rained last night and today. Got up to 45 though.
    No fire until this afternoon .
    Currently some red oak in the stove. Lit. Making flames and heat.
    Probably load up for overnight and maybe not start back up in the morning as it will be around freezing but sunny.
    Probably won't need the stove going again until late in the afternoon.
    Might depend on the wind as there is supposed to be some..

    Dang! Looks to be about 2' on the deck. It is windy and the temps are taking a nose dive to -10 tonight. Got the driveway and path taken care of anyway.

    It took down probably around 15 feet worth, maybe 8" around, there's still 30+ feet left at least. Matt was home, we didn't have service where we were, but when I talked to him when we got into service, he said it was real windy. I really need to get my pws up to around 30ft high to get actual real readings.

    I have forgot them more than once. Thankfully the snow machines and wheelers have heated handle bars.

    Yessir, suck it up, is the only way to finish. Quitting never gets the work done.

    Right where I want to be.
    Still snowing, and last time I was outside with the dogs, it looked like the Arctic or something. Maybe Alaska...I'm not sure, but it was nasty. Not that Alaska's nasty, but this weather is.
    Like HD, we've had almost everything today including a brief peek at some sun.
    This should just stop. Yep.
    Nice fire right now, and just about to do the final air adjustment before bed.
    Tomorrow's another day.
