The wife and I were sitting outside enjoying this unusually warmer weather but it is changing quickly, it is thundering yes THUNDERING here in Eastern PA. in February as I type this! But anyway, I was looking at all of the rounds that I have for future firewood, am very blessed and fortunate that I really loaded up on it awhile back, and was talking about what I'm going to do with it in the future for heat, and she says "there's a lot of good sleeping right here" because we usually both fall asleep in the stove room as I'm sure many of you do too, it just gets so warm and before you know it you're out, but I thought that was pretty funny, I see b.t.u.'s, she sees sleep lol !
I see heat btu's, my wife sees good sleeping!

Haha same thing here knocks the wife out quick. She will tell me I'm not going to sit on the couch with that thing running I've have things to do. I'm with you loads of btu's just waiting to save me money.
Deb says the same thing, says "I can't sit down there until I'm done with things otherwise I'll never get up" and she is right, I can be watching tv and the next thing I know is I'm waking up and either the show is almost over or it is a completely different show ! Or the famous "I'll just rest my eyes during a commercial", it doesn't work once you close those lids you're out lol !

Working outside all day in Winter, I'm drooling on myself after about 2 hours sitting on the couch by the stove. It got to the point I just brought my alarm clock out here to the stove room during the winter, love it!! I try to stay awake and night load around 10 pm but usually that doesn't happen so I sleep without a blanket. I get cold, wake up and load the stove

It's thundering hard here in SW NY as well! I was working on building a new woodshed until it started raining. Hope to have some more chances to burn this winter.

I'm just south of you in the eastern panhandle of WV...we had some big lightening strikes this afternoon, along with some gully washer downpours and big winds. Now it's probably 20 degrees cooler than this time last night!

There's a lot of good sleeping that happens in front of our stove also. The wifey and I seem to fall asleep there just about every night or doze off for a little while.
It's just that the old Buck 94 kicks out quite the amount of heat, and it gets so warm, and the eyes get heavy, and <yawn>, you relax a little <yawn> and the eyes close....and... Zzzzzzzzz....

The other funny thing is my wife is dealing with a thyroid issue and one of the symptoms is she is cold quite a bit. A few weeks ago, we were down there and I fell asleep, when I woke up I was starting to sweat and was uncomfortable and had to leave the room, and I looked and it was 84 degrees in there! I asked her "aren't you hot?" and she said "I could use a blanket on my feet!"

My wife is from NC. She likes it warm. We are in the country (oil heat) and my property is heavily wooded. I love running a saw, so it only makes sense.
Split at least 1.5 cord yesterday.

My wife has a thyroid issue also and the very same thing happens. It will be cooking you out and she'll say, "Can you get me a blanket...I am.still a little chilly.". Gotta love it !The other funny thing is my wife is dealing with a thyroid issue and one of the symptoms is she is cold quite a bit.

Until they get the hot flash then it's "why is it so hot in here" lol.
