    31 degrees here. Flue cleanings happened yesterday, so both stoves are getting a “test burn” this morning.

    Was 60/40. May be closer to 50/50 now? Scot Linkletter can say for sure.

    Over the past week, we’ve had a lot leaves start turning - especially the maples. A little earlier than usual, but we are getting a lot of nice foliage colors now.

    Starting to get pretty out there in the hills. Took a look at the Mt. Washington observatory and what a difference from a few weeks ago. :)

    So my mini review of MWP . I obviously like them because I just picked up 15 bags and plan to order more . So 4 stars taking in account for quality and price .

    Your right I can only add 6 maybe 9 bags to that pallet . Looks like I'll be storing outside this year . Need access to my booze it's going to be an interesting year ✌️

    We have seen loads of stink bugs in the past couple days. I think that cold snap earlier in the week woke them up, and now they are looking for someplace warm to go.

    Interesting to note that since my move to NC, I can't remember seeing ANY stinkbugs. In NY, there were tons of them.
