    No fire here. Only got down to 43 and we were okay. 45 predicted tonight but it does not feel as cool outdoors as it did yesterday so I think we'll be okay.

    Lit it last night and it's still going now.
    I refuse to be uncomfortable in my own home.

    Wacky weather here too! We were in the mid 90's last week now we're back in the 70's with night time temps in the 40s-50s. Had a wicked front come through yesterday afternoon and dropped temps quite a bit. Trees down everywhere

    Right where I want to be.
    Got back home yesterday afternoon a little after 4 pm, and my wife had a fire going (sort of). She said the house was a little chilly. I don't think it got past 60 OAT and the wind was pretty strong. She said she had a tough time getting it going. I wonder if she shut the air off and shut the door. She has a tough time remembering which direction is closed, but at least she's trying (insert joke here). :D
    I got up this morning and the IAT was 63, so............fire. :fire: :thumbs:

    Put on a sweater last night, then said, to heck with this, made a fire and took the sweater off:fire:
    Didn't see any June bugs out last night either, they were smart hiding out keeping warm somewhere

    June bugs seem really plentiful this year for some reason. I don't recall seeing this many for this long. Anyone else find this?
    Too bad I don't have the chickens anymore, they loved them.

    52 here with the windows open and loving the cool fresh air. Supposed to get into the 40's tonight and we'll take it. Soon we will be sweating in the heat and humidity. I did some yard work this AM with a sweatshirt on. Perfect weather for it.:yes:

    Yuck. Now they are forecasting 90 for tomorrow. Our first 90 this year and hopefully our last. But only one day of the heat, thankfully.

    That's probably connected to me having to replant my yellow beans for the third time this year. Never had to do it that many times before.
