Temps in the 20s. House getting a tad too chilly for The Princess, so I cut into the wrap
on pallet #1 & bag #1 is in the hopper. 224 bags to go.

Welcome to the 17-18 heating season.
I'm 4 bags into a fresh pallet. The first of 4 pallets unless oil gets cheaper.
Well at least now we know we will be spending our next 20 Sundays doing the weekly cleaning. lol

Yup I’m glad we’re burning. I’m trying some Logike soft wood super premium. They burn real nice and not much ash. Almost like Vermont’s.

Yeah, I'm in my second bag now...Do not know how many are left to burn this year.
 
17 bags in, 339 to go.
 
I quit paying attention to counts and start up times with the weather swings here. If I need to warm the place I just do it. I would ride it out until I'm cold in warm clothes but the wife has other thoughts...... Gotta pick your battles. Colder here lately and I'm already into my winter wear. Shorts, a T shirt and flip flops. I'll be in my winter uniform from here on out. Been there and done that. I figure ah, what the hell. Yes, Dear....... as I mumble otherwise.
