Caught myself over-firing

[hamish]

Well it happened, caught that guy that using up the wood pile, looked at him right in the mirror this morning.

Two weeks ago I started keeping tabs on outdoor and indoor temperatures and firing cycles when I am at home.

Ridding myself of that nasty habit to fire up every time I entered the house, firing only when needed as justified by a temperature drop in the house, using a lot less wood now.
Occasionally I find myself falling back into this habit, even though now I have an insulated house and such.

One of those things I guess, this spring I will planting potatoes wondering why!

Happens to me every year...

Yup, it's tough. It's amazing how fast you get used to it being 85 in the house. Pretty soon, over 80 is what feels comfortable!

Not for me!

68 is getting warm, 70 is hot and at 75 I'm opening windows or leaving the house

This is why it's especially dumb for me to burn too much wood

Same here. @ 72, i'm starting to think about removing the shirt.

I don't care how warm the main part of the house is. But don't get the bedroom above 65!

Many nights I'll sleep with the window open, I like it cool for sleeping. I work outside all day in below zero weather so I don't mind a little heat at home!

You should meet my ex, that bedroom was always cold in one way or another.

So… this elderly couple goes to the doctor for the yearly checkup required by insurance. After the doc does all his proddin’, pokin’ and whatnot he has them both sittin’ in the office. He tells them everything look’s fine and unless they’ve got a questions, he’s done.

The old boy looks at the doc and say’s he has one question… but it’s kind’a embarrassing because it has to do with sex. The doc reassures him everything remains confidential. “Well” the old boy says, “the first time everything seems normal, but the second time I sweat like a pig‼

The doc gets a bit of a puzzled look on his face, and glances over at the old gal… who’s rolling her eyes. “Do you have something to add” he asks.

“Yeah I do” she says. “Listen doc, there ain’t anything to worry about.” Turning to look at the old boy she says, “You stupid old goat‼”

So the doc asks her what this it all about, and she answers…

“He only gets it twice a year‼ Once in January to celebrate the New Year, and once in July to celebrate his birthday‼”

My bedroom always starts out cold, but it doesn't stay that way for long.
