Just walked out to the rack to grab some splits and a few neighbors all bundled up in their coats, hats, and gloves had a laugh seeing me walking in shorts and a t-shirt.

When you have a wood heated home the warmth just stays with you longer. I go to the chicken coop down to -20 same way. You know when you get back the stove will take that chill away. Below -20 I do put a layer on.
The record my grandma bear got the room in my basement it was in up to was 101 a few years ago.
The neighbors were fortunate that you still had shorts on considering what that old beast can do!

Indeed!!
As I was out for a few more splits my buddy pulled up to check on his snakes to see how hibernation was going, he took one look at me and shook his head.
On a side note last year I did not burn at all and the snakes were in complete hibernation but this year they are all still awake but very slow and close to sleep. I wonder if the faint smell of burning wood is making them paranoid there is a forest fire???

I love it when a plan comes together
Enjoy your "Last Laugh"! When the power goes out you will still be going out in your shorts to get your wood....... Just grin and nod

some of my neighbors came over the house this weekend and couldn't believe how warm my home was. I wasn't even home (coincidence?) my wife was telling them how simple the regency is to use and how low our gas bill is and so on and so on.
I also get wood in my shorts, but that is a different story and has nothing to do with my neighbors.

Every morning I go out to the woodshed to grab the first load of the day in just my pj's. I don't even put a coat on unless its in the single digits. My wife is always mortified of what the neighbors might say.

PJs . . . heck where I live I'm always walking outdoors wearing just my boxers and a T-shirt . . . which completely ticks off my wife . . . I try to tell her that the neighbors will think I am wearing shorts, but she insists they will know the difference . . . about the only thing that gets her worked up more than this is when I go behind the house to my favorite outdoor peeing spot . . . even though it's closer to walk inside to the bathroom.

I fling my spent coffee grounds over the yard before I make a new pot. Occasionally I'm wearing nothing but good intentions. In the winter I have to remember that there's no leaves on the trees when I do it during the day.

If the day comes that I can no longer pee in my back yard that is the day I'm moving (somewhere in the middle of Montana...)

Outdoor peein' is big here, too. We're all on board with that... :roll:

We call it "a perc. test". And my greatest lament is that I'm not able to write my name.
I know, too much information, but jeez... I just couldn't resist, lol.

This makes me miss the log cabin I lived in. The owner had a second floor deck off the back and had a funnel set up with a tube running to the downspout where it flowed to an underground pipe and into the woods.
My ex hated that thing.
