    17° this morning at the homestead.
    I got too sleepy and didn't add 2 rounds in the stove last night. It was 55 in the house when I got up. Not bad. But not my goal either. Put a couple splits in and opened the draft and it took off on its own. Sun is up in the east. Soon , December, it will be rising and setting in the southeast and south west.
    I guess that's still a few months away.

    55 inside the house? :doh:

    I'd say not good instead of not bad! :handshake:

    Thanks. Yeah Ive got larch and doug fir ready to go for this winter which are great softwoods! I did score some green birch the other day though. There isnt much of it around here but I was able to drive up to a friends decked out birch and buck and stack in the truck. When its ready it will be the first significant birch Ive had in years.

    55 was what I set my house at the winter I bought it.
    Still only keep the thermostat at 58. Serves as a compelling, but unstated justification for my wood processing tool purchases (now that I'm married)

    Only got to 71 here today, but same issue, just damp & sticky. Very uncomfortable. I'm actually really looking forward to the drier winter air.

    Not as long as you think! Just a bit over 10 weeks now before the days start getting longer again.

    I had a short fire yesterday to chase the dampness away. So far we're not using much wood this fall.

    It's been a very nice fall so far, unfortunately normally if we have a nice fall we pay for it when it does snap into Winter.

    27 this morning.
    Way to warm for where I gotta go today. 52 miles off highway 1 way. Gain and loose 1400 feet elevation in 12 miles. The morning should be ok. Coming out may be a truck.
