You're always welcome to brother, you know that! 29 here now and 55 IAT, Oak & Maple just lit and soon it'll be warm and toasty.

 

Time with the kids is what life's about! They learn if we teach them.

 

Don't do it!

I'm telling ya, stay away! I've gained 6 1/2 lbs in a week because of that holiday baking! (and eating)

 

40 outside this morning, mid 40's today then we get back to more seasonal temps. I have not had a fire in the stove since Friday morning, boiler has run a little bit. Got up on the roof and ran the brush down the liner, nothing there but after I hauled the brush and rods up, just did it for good measure. Dropped the cat shield and had a small bit of fly ash and some ash piled between the shield and cat screen. Ready to rock & roll, bring on the cold and snow. Oh, toppped off the patio shed as well.

 

About 20 F. Pine and Maple in the boiler.

 

26F & freezing fog here, really crappy. They said Sun today, so I planned to finish bucking up some logs, yeah right! We'll see what happens a bit later I guess. Still got the Silver Maple cookin.

 

Temp dropped to more seasonal weather from the crazy wind warm up yesterday, sitting at -14 C feels -22 C or 6 F feels -7 F. Only supposed to warm up a few degrees today and hopefully back above seasonal tomorrow. Poplar in the stove same as always

 

Last few days been. Lows around 30 with highs in the low 40s. We do have some light fog hanging around.

Had Chaz's Xmas party last night. He loaded up the stove and was working on getting it into cat range. Well the taxi (,party = = taxi) showed up and he had to tell them to come in the driveway for me. Well I headed out and he wasn't far behind me. We had a little opps. Half way there he realized he forgot to close the cat and damper it down. We got home to 86 and a nice bed of coals. As far as I was concerned it felt good. Now he was heated out. Oh yea I won a pair of work gloves

 

Got both vehicles hand washed in the driveway just to take advantage of the above freezing temps. They'll be clean for a day or so....

 

50 and sunny. Nothing burning until later this evening.

 

Head north young fella we have great weather. We always need good neighbors.

 

Yep, better here now though. Sun finally came out & 41F. Feels nice, I went out early & graded & organized my log yard, got everything ready to buck up & loaded another tote back full of Silver Maple. Gonna grill some steak soon.

 

You don't know how many times I've seriously considered that Rope . I may not be quite Backwoods Savage caliber, but I could probably manage just fine up there.

 

Come on up, Alaska is a great place. Most of use have wondered why it took us so long to get here. Biggest regret I have is not coming to Alaska as a younger man. I am both happy for and a little jealous of my kids. My kids have been able to see and do things here in Alaska that most of the population will dream of and watch that TV show in amazement.

My family and I are lucky to be living the bucket list. My 7 year old love everything outdoors. In August ‘19 we will be going on our first Dall sheep hunt. At 47 sheep hunting is on my bucket list and he will be 8 and on his first sheep hunt.

Hurry up....Alaska is amazing!

 

Just lit the boiler back up. Got down to 139.

 

About 28 this morning. Ash and Pine keeping things warm.
