    Here’s a view out my front door. Don’t think I’ll ever go hungry.

    Came home from work to such small embers it wasn’t worth trying to get it going, so I did a full ash clean out.

    This one was on Faceplant last Friday. I think there was something wrong with the thermometer because the weather station for the same location was saying-40. 40 is the same either scale. Don’t get me wrong it was dam chilly. We used to see those temps when I was a kid on the prairies. One time I had to pizz outside and had to get dad to get an axe and come chop me down. Now that’s cold. We are going to have some daytime highs above freezing this weekend. Back to burning crapwood hemlock.

    Lol agreed. I saw that and thought about fishing for perch. It is cool though. If it was my pond Id have a few beers and then would probably ice fish them barbless and then let the little gaffers go.

    I'm well aware of that! Actually did it with Chrissy's dad on Lake Onalaska! Kept thinking, "What the hell am I doing here"? :whistle:

    -8F at 6am. Supposed to get to about 12F today, crowding 30F on Sunday. That’ll be nice, then warmer next week.
    Hackberry elm mulberry by the stove.
    Only about a dozen or so splits of mulberry left that I think is ready to burn. The rest is gonna have to wait until next year.

    26/70. Snowing, calling for 3-5 ". Wife is off work, which means I'll go through some splits today.

    WeldrDave, I think you should do a polar plunge in your pond!

    Some people say I'm a little strange, :zip: (I KNOW who's gonna chime in here)..... But I'm not completely nuts! I fell/slipped off the pier in Boston Harbor while in the USCG back in February 2003, in full uniform while connecting ships support lines, water was about 30º and it was about 12º outside. That was enough of a "Polar plunge" for me! :shiver:

    It can fit 25”, but the RO I’ve been burning this season was cut for the prior wood stove that needed 18”. Next year I’ll be into wood cut at mostly 21” for it.


    25/71 here at work. Waiting on one apt then I’m heading out. Really miss the wood heat and can never get warm enough. Window view of light powder coming down. Supposed to last all day and end up w 3-6”.
