    Windy, 38 degrees, and snow flurries as I'm looking out the kitchen window, before my first cup of coffee.. :picard:

    Stove is roasting well! Got the thermometer from Amazon, used it to tune for LG Granules, room air temp 1" from upper center heat exchanger tube is 230, glass temp is 450, exhaust probe temp is 285, room air fan is cranking like a couple of hampsters on a Habitrail wheel..

    In honor of Joey's DMV test.. Go get 'em Joey! :D

    That's cool will, I've been tuning the stove settings ( 1 - 5 ) for each feed rate after getting home from work, looked up at the clock, it was only 3:30 AM this morning.. Eesh. Setting 4 (1.6 lb/hr) done, one to go..

    It's all good though - stove is setup to auto-start in the morning, that's a HUGE Boss win here! :thumbs: She's very happy to wake up to a warmer home. :yes: I'm sure I'll do something 'epic' to warrant ye 'ole Skillet Bashing soon enough though. :rofl: :lol:

    I've come to the conclusion that watching pellets drop into the burn pot for extended periods of time is like watching paint dry.. It's toasty sitting by the stove, I'm starting to look like my Avatar here. :loco: :crazy: :D

    --
    No smoothies for me this weekend, on this work cycle until Tuesday.

    Have several for me, please! :dex: Cheers! :cheers:

    Have fun guys (and gals) ! ;)

    Lets see! Joey passed the test for his learners permit. Pops drove just because he has no time behind the wheel yet. The Fusion hit 70 going there and 75 going to the spot where I planned to let him drive for the first time. And it averaged 30 miles per gallon doing so. Passed a chitvy limpalla stuck on the side of the road. Go figure? chuckle!!

    He was a bit nervous but did pretty good. A bit like his pops with a lead foot. momma was in the back seat covering her eyes. She let out a yelp or too. But I think he did well for his first attempted at it. Needs to be a bit easier on the brakes. He'll get the hang of it as he did the boat. We will go out again tomorrow. With out momma!1

    To keep the tread on track! Stove was on when we got home, But only on low as we lost power some time during the day. Freakin wind! Went around and reset the clocks then I bumped it up to medium setting, reset the trim levels and switched back to high/low while I was down there!

    First smoothie cracked and gonna order some diner out. I might let him drive me down there to pick it up?? :whistle:

    :hair:

    Congrats on the permit Joey. Remind him not to text and drive. As bad as drunk driving.
