A welcomed sound

The sound of my furnace kicking on. Power back on after more than two hour power shutdown. Power shut off this morning when it was -17 F. I’m no wimp after living in tents and cabins in Wyoming wilderness as a biologist. It sure made me appreciate heat!

seems like my furnace was running almost non-stop last night, it got down to -13 F here last night. It has warmed up to 5 F. Degrees now.

@cherokeepatti I have a pellet stove in the house and a wood stove in my workshop. The pellet stove is great, little ash, lots of heat. It is hard to beat a good woodstove, sometimes I go to the shop just to start a fire and read.

@Roadsterrider it’s a comforting type of heat during the coldest time of year. A wood stove with a glass door to watch the fire burn is a big bonus.

@cherokeepatti Both have glass in the door. I love to watch the fire.

@CantExplain they have good salespeople but like to sell the newest lines, big purchases I get what I want

@MarineBob General certainly has the market cornered. I’ll keep your advice in mind.

And start looking in the spring if you can hold off until then.
