So I think the fire will go out tomorrow and when I light it tomorrow night that'll be the fire that burns till spring View attachment 117810Can't be this one going now anyways cuz I don't have a picture of it being lit.

Every dawn this year I burn hot for at least an hour, and I'm throwing in the creosote powder twice a week as directed, trying to avoid that sticky gook that accumulates at the top cap, cuz I can't be going up on a snowy roof in February to scrape it anymore

Don’t blame ya. I get ice dams that can run up my west facing roof. PITA to deal with.

Although if I did slide off the roof I'd only fall about 5 ft into a soft mound of snow! When we were kids we used to jump off the porch roof into the piles of snow 🤣 sometimes we sink in so deep we'd be stuck ☃️

We did that too. Off a few different things actually.

Inner city kids like us used to 'ski' by holding on to the back of cars & trucks!🤦🏻 (don't laugh I know some of you did it too!) fun at the time, but we really shouldn't have done that

Yep, we called it shagging. It would grind down construction boots in a season. 🤣

A group of us grabbed the back of a VW bug, took the bumper off as he gunned it. 🤣

Another time it was a cop car. They took us for a great ride. Three on the back bumper and one each on each rear fender. 😝

Good times. 😂

Having been off cannabis boards for almost 4 years a lot has changed, a lot of impressive high-tech automated grows going on, so I figured I'd join the 21st century too!

Now I know the temperature & humidity in four different places! 🤣

The Grow Tent is 74°f with 42% humidity 👌🏻

My tent has 3 zones in each. I use that type of hygrometer as well. Need to get new batteries though.

Boards? we didn;t use boards just our feet but ya that's why we were in a park as well, We had about a 1 mile winding road into the park that never got plowed. I can see it like it was yesterday.

Ya, construction boots were the best. One guy used cowboy boots.

We had super shopping mall parking lots to play in. Later in life these same parking lots were where we practiced winter driving. Emergency stops, quick right/left turns, power slides. Cops would come half the time but again they would be cool. Show off a few things then tell us to get going.

Yes parking lots in the snow were fair game, no Police bothered us, its how we learned to drive in snow, through play. just covered concrete parking blocks that fked us up. More than 1 guy hit buried parking blocks and ruined their car....al in the name of fun..
 
So when I light my fire tonight it still won't be my permanent fire, cuz in one of the pictures I posted I noticed a cracked fire brick in the back so I've got a tube of high heat caulking coming Wednesday to make the repair, so will be going out again 🫤

Here's a classic fire from the past to warm up your Saturday night!IMG_20241221_005420.jpg

First snow tonight, they say it could even be an ice storm, charging everything up 🤦🏻 could be a couple inches snow in some areas

Feels like snow out even at 35°, only 37 for a high today

Edit: just got an updated weather report, no wonder it feels like snow it's supposed to start anytime now

Got 38 and rain here.
It could flip any moment.
Prepared or not here I am.
Been running the furnace since middle of October.

Holy cow! 😧 I had quite a few fires in October myself, more than usual

Conversely this month has been milder than usual so far

Snowing now at 35°, I hate snow before Thanksgiving, too early

I just can't wake up, I got to shoot down a double espresso to get going, I got to cook up some linguine I've got a delicious pesto from the garden for tonight, you want to talk about garlic, man it'll make your eyes water! Next time I make my pesto somebody has to stop me with the garlic, I tell you what!
