You folks have the cold air that we are going to have on Saturday.

 

October has been a bit warm for us but we have seen a few frosty mornings.

 

Beginning this fall we've been using wood as our primary heat so we've had the stoves going off and on for well over a month.

 

With the addition of the stove we installed upstairs it makes for a toasty and warm house.

I am into what I consider my official "burning season".

 

I try not to fire the wood stoves before Nov 1, and to have them shut down and cleaned out for the year by April 1.

We've already had 6 in of snow here and single digits for tonite. Global warming? Unreal for this time of year but not a dang thing can do about it so just get ready for more to come is all a guy can do. Tried blowing snow last nite but the single plugged up twice... was more like pumping slush so just shut her down. Looks like the rest of our nation is not faring any better.

Just for grins Jeff @WVHillbilly520H gonna grow one like that and trim accordingly just to get a rise out of the missus... I like it!

In the old days farmers got "Drip Gas" off gas wells on their property and ran in in their trucks and tractors

My ALASKA wood burner  has been fired up for two weeks.      When temps dip to the 40s,I burn wood.

I fired the coal boiler a couple of weeks ago, it's official it looks like it's started.  There's white stuff all over the lawn

I just replaced the batteries in the remote for the gas log fire place, we are really roughing it.        

[stevasaurus 22,710]

Checked out and started the humidifier today.  Got to keep that water in the air.

Nat. Gas stove vacuumed out and at the ready. Blew the dust out of the propane heater in the garage. Finally replaced the batteries in the inside thermostat and set the clock. Moved the garage thermostat lever back and forth to make sure I remembered how it worked. Looking thru the Duluth Trading catalog with a coonhound  on my lap. Yes I'm ready.
