    Burning season isn’t done here just yet. Woke up to a dusting of snow this morning and it barely hit 40 today. 36 now, forecasted to drop to the mid 20s. Burning apple and ash this evening.

    Maybe I will get it right one year. I burned through most of my dry maple and ash, waiting on colder days to use oak, black locust and black birch. For the past few weeks I am into that good stuff. Have alot of days into the 60's, but now nights are back into low 20's. Just winging it with a mix now. I think I am over thinking and planning. Screw it, I will just mix it as it goes into the bin. I will still probably separate longer drying stuff out in the racks.

    Fire was out for almost a week while we got away for some R&R. Fired it up last night before bed and beech again this morning. 40 outside now, headed to 57, so I doubt the gas furnace will stand a chance! 72 inside and my own bed made for a good nights sleep

    Not in any hurry to build a fire in the furnace.

    Got some more snow overnight. A little less than 3"

    Rain... Looks like a big snow forecast for the UP has fizzled a bit. Supposed to hit 60 today!!! Forecast yesterday said we would see 70 next week but that has been cancelled.

    Got home from work and looked for coals. tossed a stick of hickory on the coals and walked away. It’s raining which I don’t recall being forecast, so I checked the low temp and were already at the low of 60. I won’t be checking on the Hickory stick.

    23/69 at the moment.

    Winds began last evening and have only increased in strength.

    Something uncomforting about seeing trees swaying back and forth.
