    40 degrees outside
    got a pine fire going just before supper and just now threw a couple small oak splits on top to take it to bedtime and
    the late night stuffing.
    Probably keep it going on oak until Sunday night.

    Today was 45°F going down to 29°F tonight and snow tomorrow.
    Yesterday I got home and brought some dry wood in, and started moving other wood so it would be easier to access after the coming storm.
    I was still getting over being sick, so I didn't keep at it too long. This morning I saw the forecast had changed to 24" of snow! I made sure to get back out there today and move more wood!!

    Temps started falling off so I fired the stove with some elm sticks and a couple chunks of mystery wood.

    Last nite it was 35
    Don't know what it was about the weather yesterday but it was bone chilling
    Fired up the furnace last nite to get the chill off my bones as propane wasn't cutting it.
    43 this morning
    I'll prolly load a lil wood and a big wad of coal to keep the house a hot dry heat for when I get home from work with froze bones .
    This getting old chitsucks!

    There is not much good about it. I've burned it in my CB and it does heat so if you have some just cut it up and burn it just don't expect a long lasting fire or coals.
    Don't leave it on the ground it will sprout.

    Not much variation in temp outside here and supposed to be the same for the next two days 38-41ºF. Day and night.
    Keeping the stove going, will just let the coals fester longer between reloads andhope it doesn't get too wamr inside.
    Red oak.
