It's Cold Outside

Not quite the mutherfuckin' cold from last year (or was that the year before?), but it's still a night where I'm happy we have the woodstove. Crank that baby up and it's easily 75 degrees. My only regret is that I miscalculated how much wood we actually had left over from last year. Which is a lot less. I literally saw double rows over the Summer. I'm not sure why I saw that, but I know I spent most of the season not worrying about it. As a consequence, we don't have enough to get through the whole Winter. On the plus side, what we do have is finely seasoned. It doesn't take much effort to get it burning, which tonight is only about the third fire I've allowed.

But it's not like we're going to freeze or anything. We just have to be conservative. And I've been doing a pretty good job of tuning everyone out when they complain about the cold around here. Put on some more clothes—it's all about layers people.

However, when it really gets cold, I have to cave in and burn. Which is ironic because on warmer days (and I mean days when it's 32+) the stove is much more efficient. A few logs and it's 80 degrees inside. But when we're under Evil Wayne's Wood Conservation Plan, there will be no burning until it's below freezing, or we hit mid-February (because I got enough from there on out).

Or hot sex is going to happen in the living room.

So—as you can see—we just don't burn. :(
