    It's 34 tonight so I loaded up the liberty with sugar maple and some yellow birch.

    We'll save the pellets for the end of the week when the colder nights return.

    We had 38 this morning when we had coffee (41 at the moment) so I loaded up the liberty with some cherry we brought in two days ago.

    We have a rack of better btu wood inside but we'll save that for the cold shot coming in.

    Windy as all get out here all day long. Started overnight with way too much wind. Came home to no power and started hand bailing the sump pit for 2 1/2 hours and then voila power!

    (Of course, it was no where near as windy as our western connection gets it!)

    Right now the thermometer reads 38 on the back porch. This looks like light snow to me. Too warm for snow though. But it is not rain. IMG_2799.JPG

    It's 48 out with the temp trending up so we'll go without a fire tonight.

    Okay yoop. I'll ask you the same question I've asked my wife before. "What does all get out mean? "

    I never heard that until I met her about 17 years ago and still....... apparently it can be used after multiple subjects as well.:rofl: :lol:

    I've tried to explain to her that makes no sense. :zip:
    :wacky:My wife has basically told me to "get with the program" for lack of a better term on my part. :D So I have tried. :smoke:I'm there.

    Winter came back swinging. Looking at -23 C feels like -31 C with the wind. Or -9 F feels like -23 F. Saskatchewan got some interesting blowy snowy weather over the last few days. Poplar n pine in the stove.

    I wonder if there will be any trees down in the neighbourhood that you can harvest.

    Hey, we don't want it either! Here's hoping the 14 day forecast holds out, and the weather moderates to normal temps in about a week.

    I hear ya. The wind has been blowing like that for 3 days now. I lost count on how many Semi Trucks have blown over on I-80 because of the high wind.
    I have had to restack some of my wood now a couple of times. I do not cut wood when it is like this because it just kills the eyes.
