Winter is here

First snow of the season.

I broke down and built a fire yesterday afternoon. Cozy, but there was purpose. I was checking out the fireplace before I really needed it.

At least once every Winter we lose power. Since the house has central Air / Heat when we lose power this place gets just a bit chilly.

A couple of years ago I built a fine in the fire place and had as much smoke in the house as outside the house. 

So this Winter I figured I’d find out what the problem was before it was critical. 

Guess what? The fireplace worked like a champ. I have no clue why but it follows with my luck. When I need it later this year I’m sure I’ll have a smoky mess.

Now I’m off to go have some fun. I’m heading to a meeting. I need to interact with other people I’ve been spending way too much time alone or just in the company of the dogs.

On the up side I speak dog really well now. The down side is that I try to greet people by smelling their butt! Definitely time to hang out with some other primates.

 

Have a great day, stay warm…
