I got tired of angsting about my firewood chores so I burned up a few hours on the tractor loading the racks on my front porch and the rack next to the wood stove. All I gotta do now is clean the flu, maybe shave some cedar to use as starter and preseason the soapstone stove as I do every year. If the forecast is accurate, I won't need to fire it up until next Saturday night, and the first 3 days of the week are supposed to be warm & sunny.
It's insane I won't have used it until the middle of November.
