My mother in-law is watching the kids while my wife and I find permanent day care. She complains about “the cold” all of the time, so I had to fire up the mansfiled last nigt, and will do it again tonight (lows in the lower 40’s). It gets a little too toasty for me, but it is a good excuse to play with fire! I know I’ll be eagerly awaiting the arrival of winter again in a couple months.
We had a fire going all last night...I let it go out about 100pm but just put a log on the remaining hot coals to fire it up for tonight. This weather is ridiculously cold for may. I did manage to paint the rest of my house so I’m grateful for that anyways.
Well I burnt the reast of my skids and small peacies are gone and the pile of wood is soaking wet. I have to learn to keep some wood covered.Thank goddness the temp is going up tommorrow . Any way it was still fun to fire it up.
Here in the rain forest, 4.35 inches yesterday and rained all day today, it is in the forties and the stove is still keeping on keeping on. This is usually the time of year I am whacking wood like crazy. Not wading in cold mud.
They actually forecast sun for tomorrow and partial sun Wed. Then the rain starts again. Anybody got a copy of plans for an ark built out of firewood splits?
so much for global warming! Ya I had a couple fires last week. I was gonna fire it up tonight but while I was at work my G/F put the heat on 70. I told her I was gonna light a fire so we don’t use propane.
But I guess she wanted to keep the youngin warm all day.
Over the weekend we got snow, tonight it is going to get into the 30’s.
Depending on the temp I have been just doing some overnight burns just to take the chill out and cut down on the propain.
Last night I was told not to burn, so around 1:00 I had to turn up the propain.
Where’s N of 60? He’s probably still ice fishing. . Yep, couple of quick fires a few days this week. I paid for it and I want my global warming.......NOW!
Yeah, I can’t believe we actually fired up the stove down here last night in Central Virginia! It was nice to take the chill off and keep the oil furnace from kicking on tho.....thought I was done for the season.
It was cold enough here this am to throw a log or two in...I just told the XO I was going to let it go out for the day but I may restart it tonight. What the heck...if it’s cold enough for the LP stove to kick in then it’s time for some Quadafire music. And go figure… yesterday I rototilled the neighbors and my garden too. colldest May I can remember since ‘72.
Highbeam, I’m absolutely sure you’re not dumb. I’m going to have to direct you back to Mike about this particular topic. It’s a little obscure (and, in my mind, both hilarious and right on), but in some contexts could be construed as somewhat personal or sensitive. Maybe I’m making too much of it, but I’ll defer to Mike for now, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to explain someone else’s avatar. (Still burning some here, too). Rick
Yeah, don’t really want to start a new ash can subject…
but it is the flying spaghetti monster, a religious parody. If you’re interested in a good laugh, search FSM on google or something. If you are a devout religious-type person, you probably won’t find it too funny, though, so be forewarned
Definitely ash can material. I’ve heard that Pastafarians are anti-tofu.
Hmmmmmm...I never heard that one. I’m a relatively recent convert. I mean, who would’ve ever thought that global warming is directly related to pirate attacks? And then, pirate attacks increase, and we have a cooler spring!!!! I mean, come on!! What more proof do you need?!
I think the anti-tofu romor was started just to try to debunk the whole religion.
Okay, I’ll take a look just so I don’t feel left out.
Today is the last day of miserable rain and cold before our weather makes a 180 into sunny and 75 for at least a short while. If you’ve never been in the PNW in the Spring when it is sunny and warm then you’re really missing out. Maybe we’re getting closer to being done burning.
. Yep, couple of quick fires a few days this week. I paid for it and I want my global warming.......NOW!
