    It's a hard year to make sense of the weather, as it's been below average for a lot of the time this fall. But this is above average weather for this time of year, so I'm gonna enjoy it!

    Leave that Elm sit & dry for a while & it'll split better. Not good mind you, but "better"

    Spent one of the last weekends at the cottage. Woke up to snow covered ground on Sat. Trouble is, it's still here!

    Not much, just enough to make everything white and the snowplows were even called out on Sat!

    Tonight, it is getting down into the lower 40s down here so the 20018-2019 burning season has officially commenced. The red oak is doing its job.

    The forecast has changed from a low of 30ºF to a low of 32ºF and it sure chilled off quick this afternoon. With the wind the real feel is still cold.
    Got a fire going late this afternoon, pine and maple. Some 4 year seasoned oak for the last load/overnight.

    Funny how the plows run at the beginning of the season, right? Two or three inches in October or November, and it's a five alarm fire.. Same thing in January? Sleep in boys.. Just a squall.. :)

    32 here, flurries earlier this afternoon while I was out getting some wood moved over to the dining room side of the house where the stove is. Took Mrs Papi out for a celebratory dinner (back to work part time driving school bus after taking a couple years off for the new little one) and came home to 75 inside still from the 9a.m. reload, topped off the IS with more white pine.. I'd like to try some hardwood, but we're going to wait for real cold as I don't have much that's dry enough to do her justice. If we keep getting ten hours burns out of the pine, we may not switch to hard stuff til January!

    Got down to 26 last night and the house called for a little heat, but not much. Same load of whatever I put in the boiler yesterday is still 2/3 there. Probably could load it every 3 days in this kind of weather.

    Call for heat from boilers this shoulder season:

    20% for comfy house.
    80% for daughters showers.

    I'm more like 2%, 98%. If it is anywhere north of 40 and sunny during the day this house doesn't need heat.

    It may have to do with the fact that the roads had a heavy slush accumulated....and that the funding is still fresh and untapped!
