    Right where I want to be.
    48 and dropping right now. Fire will be going soon, then a small reload before bed. Going down to 40 in the forecast, but they haven't been right with that for the last 4 days.
    We've been at least 5 degrees cooler every one of those nights.
    Oh, and we've (I've) been burning for about a month.:fire:

    Low of 41* here tonight. Had a fire (pellet) a few nights now.

    Painted the wood stove this year (Honey Glo Brown) and I am in the process of painting the basement now. Otherwise I would be burning the 30-NC now.

    Been a good Summer, but I am ready for a little Man Made Heat!! :fire:

    Still have to wait till next week before it gets cold. Warmest October in recent memory. That Canadian air should hit us about Tuesday, with any luck.

    Had a buddy who flew up to Iqualuit for work last thursday. He was saying that the weather up there has been exceptionally warm by their standards as well. It was 34 degrees the day he was there and that is WAY above their norm for this time of year. Unbelievable

    The fires are getting more numerous around here too. Sounds like next week most of us will be burning at least int he midwest and east.

    Not here yet. Was 75 today. But it looks like fires are coming, highs in the 50's a week from now. Maybe even a frost. I usually would have had a string of evening fires by now.
