    Speaking of uglies, last year I had some odd ball wood that was set aside because I didn't know what they hey it was, plus it was heavy. This year it is as light as balsa wood. Luckily I only have about 5 or 6 milk crates of it. Brought some in for in the morning. Went out to dinner, came back and it was 72ºF inside. Oh yeah. 31ºF outside but it feels a lot colder.

    22 degrees in SW NH this evening. Burning 3 year old seasoned red oak with 15 percent moisture content, black cherry and some hickory. After a long afternoon run, this is the perfect way to start the weekend!

    Burning some Siberian Elm in the Jotul. It’s burning HOT. A bit too warm in the house at 76 degrees. But I’m enjoying a little bit of makers mark and the pretty little misses is having a glass of red wine. Both cuddled up on the couch. It’s all good.

    Woke up to 21 outside. Poked up the stove and fed it odd chunks/small splits. It's now a 'comfy' 65 inside. Forecast is high of 38 & sunny for today.

    25* 68* Ash and a stick of Cherry. They say 43* here today before the next cold snap. I'm hoping to get the rest of the outside winterizing done today. I have a sky light in the bathroom that is not looking very healthy. Not sure what route to take on that one yet.

    24ºF outside right now, was 23ºF at sun up.
    The mystery wood I brought in for the morning fire is rather poor. To be kind it does burn.
    I'll burn the balance as it is cut, split and seasoned but if it wasn't it would be getting dragged back to the forest for natural decomposition.

    11f right now...….. after my walk and morning check on the OWB. It is a nice mild temp out there. Ended up with another inch or so overnight. Just enough to have to shovel the drive deck sidewalk.

    28 at 5:00 this morning, left at 6:00 to get in the tree. At 6:45 had a spike under the stand and then a nice 8 point or better follow him in but he took a wide circle outside of a good arrow shot. Sounds about like your season so far Backwoods Savage
