especially at night. Going to fire up the Pioneer in the office tonight-take the chill off the shop. Was a great summer-sorry to see it end. Weather weenies calling for a cold nasty winter here...good time to
fire up and find any weak spots in the equipment before the REAL cold arrives.
Getting Chilly...

Wow you guys are going early!
Yeah was 45° this morning, 46° yesterday morning. Totally depressing ...
At least the residual heat from the boiler is keeping the house warm. Still 71° in here this morning.
Boiler has been going nearly non-stop since 10/28/13.

Yesterday was cool and raw so I lit the stove in my computer room. 43 deg. forecasted tonight so I figured I'll keep it going thru early tomorrow. I'll leave it up to the wife. After tonight back into the 70's and high 40's for lows. Nice having the little stove. No big deal to burn it for a day or two. My special mixture of nut and pea is working good. I'll be honest I just wanted to play with the stove. Matt
