He's got a system.
I dunno what it is but, he knows...
He hides in the fringes, waiting...
an unsuspecting thread trots obliviously by him.
Then he pounces at that top of page!

Baaaah.... I'm trying but it's difficult to get comfortable sometimes and I'm restless. I think you might have an affinity for the number 15 Joe. Do you like 15 of things? Does 15 trigger you to react? Does 15 mean anything to you? Think about it and get back to me Joe.... Haha

(Oh, I "so" have an answer for that, Lee, but I can't say it on this site." )
Anyway, I usually wait for Thanksgiving to fire up, but I think maybe Halloween this year. 1st I need to get a supply of black gold.

So what happened to that unusually warm fall we were suppose to have? Is that coming in November? This is the earliest I've ever lit up the coal.

30F here this morning. Too much for just the kitchen range to keep the chill off the whole house, so I fired up the #6 base heater.
I've only had the chance to run the #6 on nut coal so far. Now that I was able to get a pallet, I'm interested to see how it does with just the Lehigh stove sized coal. Then on to a mix of stove and nut, since I'll be getting a bulk delivery of 7 tons of nut.
And it's a good excuse to stay near the stoves.
