A final couple fires...

[bmwloco]

Alas, it looks like I'll be enjoying the final few fires in my old VC Resolute soon.

We'll have temps in the low 30's the next few nights, so the stove will be hot. Breton, our 17 year old chocolate lab will appreciate that.

But it'll all change soon. My wife has been accepted into a nurse anesthetist program in Charlotte NC. We'll be leaving the mountains
for the flat lands and the big city for the next year.

We'll be renting our house. The stoves will stay; the VC Resolute in the living room, the VC Intrepid in the garage. Hopefully, when we
return in 3 years, they'll be in good shape and ready. I plan on spending time with the renters and showing them the proper operation.

I'll miss 'em. And all the oak and locust I've got laid in and dry.

You cant go cold turkey. One of those nice "cast iron looking" electric stoves is a must! LOL Good luck!

We'll be in student slum housing at the hospital. I suspect I'll just suffice by escaping to the mountains as often as possible.

I hope your renters don't clean you out of all that seasoned wood and not replace it.

We still put a fire on in the evenings. They're calling for about 8 inches of snow this weekend so it looks like we'll be burning for a while yet.

Ya, lots of snow in parts of Michigan. As of early morning the most I got a report on was 18.8" Here we had some rain showers this afternoon that also had snow in them but nothing stuck. Our stove is keeping us warm yet. A warmup coming for the weekend though sounds great.

I am sitting here and it is 70 in the house and my hands and feet are cold. I am glancing at the cold stove. Now I understand why all those old people's houses I used to go into were so hot. Old is cold!

I hope that all works out well for you and the wife in her nursing program.
