seems like the past week it has rain everyday and the temps are in the upper 40's and low 50's. To warm for a fire and it's so nasty and muddy outside you can not get outside to do some of the things i need to catch upon like spliting some wood for next year, wash the truck, clean the back yard, remodel the kitcken , but this weather just plain sucks, I have enjoyed burning my stove, it has give me something to do on these long winter days, hoping to have some more cold weather.
