    Been off the past few days.

    Weather heading from August like @80 F plus back to April rain and Snow down to the 3500 ft level in the Mt's

    Looking like Stove weather instead of AC weather like we been having.

    AC BEEN ON AND OFF this afternoon.

    By Friday/Saturday good bet the little Whit will be running again for a few days.

    Much rather do stoves than the AC.

    Was lovely out today.

    Spent the day outside working on a stove.

    Ahhhh yessss

    Turned the Cellar Dweller down to around 65* for the temp probe to work off of. It was going when I got home yesterday - almost 70 outside. The slab is still cold though, so the stove was doing what I told it. I may turn it off in the next day or two until we get some more cold nights.

    The main floor stove hasn't run since yesterday morning (it was 25* out when I got up), I love having it on a thermostat so I don't have to mess with it. Only issue is this time of year - remembering to check if there are pellets if it needs them. I've run out twice in the last two weeks, only to figure it out in the morning when it is in the 60's when I get up in the morning. :emb:

    Had some thunderstorms roll through during the night, along with rain.

    Was 65 F in the house a bit ago when I got up.

    Ahhhhh, nooooooooooooooo.

    Tossed a fire in the little Whit to "kill the chill"

    From August back to April in just a few hours.

    Crazy weather is supposed to be cool and wet off and on through all of next week and maybe beyond.

    C'mon stove weather :yes:

    Stove been on now since yesterday morning.

    Ran the big one for a few hours, then switched to the little guy for the rest of the day/night

    Still running this morning

    May shut it off later, depending on the amount of sun breaks between heavy rain showers.

    Low 40's F out now, so fire feels great
