OK it's winter mode

[iskiatomic]

Yes, yes, I know it's New England. But DAMN it's a bit nippy out there. These @#^#@$$& suck. Talking storm Thurs/ Fri. so spent some time brnging n some wood. Well, worked up a little sweat, so I grabbed a beer, after the second load, I had a beersicle! Had to switch to other libation's. I hope it's a slow day at work tomorrow.

The beer is cold and it's a toasty 74 degrees in front of the fire. Gotta look at the bright side!

I've been having the same thoughts. Gotta' love trying to pull a split out without pulling the tarp, only to have a sliver grab the tarp and put yet ANOTHER hole in it.

I need a shed too.

CTburns, I will let you know that JAWS is my fiance's favorite movie. I also must add to this point, is a DAMN good firewood transporter, and can do a hell of a job with the stove while I am at work. ( she has a home office) sooooooooooo it is always toasty inside here also.

The next beer but the hearth will have to wait till tomorrow. 4:45 wake up call.

I need a tarp for my shed. We got a bunch of snow with high winds and it drifted into my shed. It was wet snow that has since frozen. I'm knocking splits together to get the snow off them.

I learned this week why I need a woodshed - wind blew off the tarp before the freezing rain. First year burning - but the last without a shed, that's for sure.

KC, your fiancee is a woman with great taste. Her home office and her prowess with the wood stove is an added bonus. You're a lucky man!

What he said.

Very simple solution: Russian Imperial Stout. Its got a high enough alcohol content that it won't seize up on you. Glad I could help!

The pipes in my downstairs circuit froze last night - still frozen now. I have a stupidly designed section where the kitchen flies out over the deck - there are pipes between the floor and the deck - strangely enough they froze... Hoping they don't burst.

I got the wood shed, its the makers that im missing! Just finished my last bottle of JD single barrel on christmas while standing outside for 6 hours in a snow storm and 13 degree weather smoking a dang ham.

Next time you go to the liqeur store buy a bottle of inexspensive saki. Open it and warm it in a pan of water on your wood stove gently. Pour it into a water bottle with a sport top, and snuggle it in an insolated sleeve/cover. After that......just keep the pets and small children away from you while you're swinging the spliter axe.

But...but...but.....All I did was suggest a different kind of beer. :ahhh:

Same with most IPAs...just have to let them warm up if you want any taste.

A tarp wouldn't last a week on my shed. I suppose the benefit in drying time makes up for knocking snow off.
