Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

Wow, some cold temps. I mowed my grass yesterday. Mid 50's here for the next week

 

Sitting at 38° outside, bacon on the stove sizzling slowly. I raked the coals to the front and all over. Gonna reload her with alder right now.

 

There is some government, state and miming is the biggest employer. Various smaller employers and small businesses. And the school district.

 

School district employee here too sir

A few of my buddy’s work at the school.

 

Had to let the fire go out. Shot up to 57ºF outside.
74ºF inside at 9AM is a bit much. Still 72ºF inside at 4:55 PM

Got a new battery mower and was trying it out in some pretty deep stuff.

 

Sometimes, to live out here away from the city , other jobs are what keep us home. I've always worked away from home . This past spring I got on with the local sanitation company driving garbage truck . They put my timber , oil, construction and mineing back ground working at the landfill. So I drive routes and work at the landfill. Not an overly glamorous job. But it pays ok. Has benefits, and most of all I am home every night and on weekends .
When I got my cdl a few years ago, my goal was , a cab , a heater and a paycheck !!! I've got that here plus full time year round AND home every night.

It was a record of 66° yesterday, I rode my motorcycle. Today, 45° and still windy. Great day for getting outside work done. I've been burning only at night the last few days. I'll light up from a cold stove this evening, as it's going to drop to the upper 30's tonight.

 

Around 48 today. Put blocks on this morning, and completely regretted it all day long. I am one that once it turns cold, just stay cold.

 

I'm with you on that! I can only imagine how much additional creosote I'm adding to the top couple feet of chimney with only loading once a day. I'm guessing its basicly pretty close to a cold start everytime I reload on warm coals in the evening. Don't have a flue thermo but with the stovetop at 170-200ish and the cat probe under 200, I'm guessing the stack at the top is ambient to outside temps even though its in an insulated chase except for the top foot plus cap. I try to let the coals revive quite hot before reloading.

 

We have 39 tonight with another load of the dreaded pine going, I said it on our last load of pine we put in and I'll say it for this pine we put in........it will be the last until spring.
