    New site that was logged in the summer. Haven't seen it yet, but my cutting partner says it's Oak, Cherry, Maple, & Beech tops. Doesn't get much better than that. Ground's pretty hard, & we'll have His tractor & my dump trailer. Should be pretty productive.

    31º out, just getting ready to load some cherry and ash in the Buck stove and head out for some firewood fetching. Hope to get into some ash and sugar maple if the ground is solid enough where I need to get to. If not that, we'll find something to cut and haul home. Rain to start about noon so crossing my fingers it holds off till I get a decent load. Last load this year.

    31 with wind allegedly making it feel like 11.. 530 load took me to 1900 on some gnarly old yard maple, just refilled with some more. Going to jack the heat up a bit to 67 as it's windy and the floors are cold. Got some snacks and a couple adult beverages on deck - can't have mama running around on cold floors while I burp the baby!

    No fire in the stove now... The One That Consumes is getting anxious again. Will be starting the overnight fire at about 11:15 and then out to the driveway to watch the fireworks from the next door ski resort. We have an unobstructed view of the top of the mountain where New Years fireworks are set off.

    Currently about 40F out... got to about 45F today, so didn't need an all day fire. Will be burning a combo of larch, a couple splits of oak, and perhaps an elm split or two. Check in with everyone next year... that is, about 52 minutes from now! :D

    About 24, snow coming down lightly. They had called for a possible 3-6" again. So far we may have an inch. Last time, two days ago, they called for 3-6", some said 3-9". We got 3. I'm not complaining.

    Ash and Pine in boiler.

    Low 20's with a 10mph wind. Still dark. I think we may have gotten a dusting overnight.
