You have to start up the oil furnace every once in a while just to see if it still works.

you get into an argument with your wife, grab your axe, grab a beer, and and split wood for 45 minutes.

Just did that on Friday. Neighbors thought I was crazy. Clearing a path from the garage door to the wood pile, with a nice turn around so I can back the quad and trailer right up to the pile. Wife kind of thought I was crazy at first too.

You think about mounting a mirror on the back of the stove so you can see the thermometer without getting out of your favorite chair.

You also consider putting a remote controlled spotlight on the stove to check temps, when the stove room is dark.

You place a camera that's hooked up to your computer on your stack so you can remotely watch for smoke.

When you call your wife from work and ask how warm it is in the house and how long it's been since she's fired up last. And my 10 year old can identify locust, cherry, maple, and elm as soon as we split it! Ha ha.

Yesterday ... You fill the stove, then drive off to visit a relative in a distant hospital. After 20 min of driving, you suddenly remember that you can't recall turning the damper down on the old VC. So you drive 20 min. home and are thankful that the stove is only at 800 and the house is still standing.

You're driving and can't keep your eyes on the road because you keep looking at trees, thinking you'd rather be in there with the saws.
Or when you take a break from cutting or splitting to watch gas and oil trucks go by on the road, knowing somebody's gonna get a big fat fuel bill today but it won't be you.

Even as you inevitably age and the mind starts to go, the body falls apart,the memory fades you think to yourself you will always have solace and bask in the warm glow of a wood fire. As opposed to most folks who have only reality show reruns to look forward to in their twilight years.

I was fully expecting your message to read like this:
Even as you inevitably age and the mind starts to go, the body falls apart,the memory fades you...um... where was I going with this?
When there is a major ice storm knocking out the power for over 24 hrs, and Im at home warm & cooking bacon & eggs on my woodstove.....and all the people that told me a woodstove is too much work are asking to come over.

You look forward to going outside in the -20
, just because you get to put on your warm coat, boots, toque and gloves that are warming up on the rack in the stove room.

You go with a friend, just to help him pick out his Xmas present/leaf blower, and wind up coming home with a $500.00 chainsaw.
