Welcome friends! Stop by and spend a few minutes and have a cup of cyber coffee with me. Tis a beautiful crisp morning. 10 below zero was predicted, it's now 17 below. The weather person claimed 15 below for tonight, maybe we'll see 20 below tonight. It's getting to be a long cold winter! Sure am glad I'm not burning oil.

Sterling_40man, This must be global warming....The mid coast is 1*F. We are never warmer than the rooftop.

Freddy, you better put the sheep in the AA shed.

Well it is a spring like 5* above 0 and we are looking for a high temp of 18 in the Boston area. Coal stove is cranking, oil
burner is pretty quiet. Life is good! :)

Under 10* here this morning. Tended the stove at 4AM, just checking it. 62* inside at 7AM- the wind was kicking up last night. It was nice to go out and get some coal and look at the crisp winter sky. Cranking the fire up a little this morning.

Snooty customer's shore house yesterday was one block from the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe 5' above sea level. It was necessary for me to keep my mouth shut since I was assisting the prominent decorator. I felt like saying, "Al Gore says your house will be under water soon...."

Very cold here about 1. Well the guys showed up with my new coal stove! After taking out my old wood burner and getting the new coal stove ready to come down the steps, I looked and notice that they brouht the worng stove. Good thing I looked! So the boys just left about 10:30 and should be back around noon with the right stove. Figures!!! But they did bring the right bagged coal and I just took 60 bags down the steps. :mad: :x

My wife had a meeting tonight, so I took the dog for a moon light
walk in the woods. It's 14 degrees here tonight, but there was no
wind. With the snow cover, it was just like daylight. No flashlight
needed. Walked about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile. Just enough to get the
daily cob weebs out and give the dog some much needed run time.
The moon will be even better tomorrow night.
