    We've been having a small fire here most mornings. Wife likes one in the evening but it gets too hot for the dogs and me.
    Should have lit a small fire this morning but haven't yet.

    No freeze overnight for a change. Looks like we are finally going to warm up.

    It rained quite a bit here yesterday. Things were starting to begin to dry up some here . Then the air force had to get involved and make it rain. They had to work their ads off to get it to. But they managed it.
    Then it cleared off over night and we had a good hard frost. My wife was really torqued off because she had to find an ice scraper to clear off the windshield of her rig this morning @ 4:30.
    When I got up it was 50° in the house. Definately fire time. Used cutoff lumber scraps from in the house. I have framed in the bathroom and temp bedroom so I had something to start the fire without going outside

    That had to be no fun at all for either of you.

    It's 83.8 in the shade today with another 80 degree day forecast for tomorrow. After a long winter and some cooler temps this spring, it feels nice.

    I forgot to post that I shut down the OWB as of this past weekend. I'll have to measure up just how little amount of wood the mild winter required.

    It's 84 at the moment and we would like about four straight days of rain, that would help but we're behind on our rainfall totals.

    I CLASS TODAY AS OUR FIRST HOT DAY OF THE YEAR. Whoops, I don't mean to shout.

    I did not expect this because our humidity and dewpoint was not that high; humidity below 40% and dewpoint 54 should not feel this bad. The bugs like it but I don't.
