I'm grateful to not have that issue, I can drink regular coffee as late as I want and not have an issue.
Wow, lucky guy. If I have java after about 2pm I cant get to sleep. Take away coffee and I can sleep like a baby within minutes.
And keeping with the thread, I just came in from the snow outside and loaded the stove with doug fir. My postings on this thread are predictable... its either lodgepole pine, fir, birch or larch....
forty this morning ,winter will be back for a few days ,burning oak and the ash that fell a couple weeks ago.
Put a 6 split load of Maple in the stove before bed last night. OAT was 31 this am, and the IAT was 70. No fire yet. I should clean out some ashes today. I'm thinking I got a little crazy with the big splits a couple years ago, as that's most of what's in the shed right now. All I really need is a few small pieces to take out the chill and then let the warm stove carry the day, but nooooo, I had to go and make huge splits. Must be time to make big splits into small splits.
45 when I got up Still quite toasty from overnite fire. May let it go out. Looks like come Friday temps are gonna drop to more normal levels. I figure about 30 more days of steady burns then here and there to take the chill off. May have to add inventory to the wood room. My dog coop/entry project may happen. I have the inside dog box and entry hole cut/ready just have to get more wood out of the attached shed to make the outside entry.
