Here it comes!  We will not be sparing the pellets next week.  It will be chili, hot coco and snuggle time next week.  I will be experiencing this cold spell looking out my double-pane gas filled windows watching football.  :new_year:

 Always nice when one can look out from the inside, leaning back, with mostly anything hot to wet the insides.

Looks like we are working Sat and Sun and hibernating Mon and Tue.  High is 4 on Mon.  I know , I know.  You are going to be a lot colder up north.
I am in the pink when sawing cedar.

It's all relative.  ;D

Throw two logs at it instead of just one.

Times like this make me think about my childhood when we lived in a totally un-insulated, drafty house with a coal fired stove in one room.  We now live in a fully insulated house with state of the art heating, just a few yards from the old home site.  The strange thing is that I don't have memories of suffering from the cold in those days.  Were we just tougher then?  I do remember coming in from sleding and hunting frozen to the core but quickly warming up in front of that old coal stove.

I try to beat the cold at the mill with my old hand made wood stove a friend gave me.
Saw a little, warm up and go back to sawing. We keep a pot of coffee on the stove also.

My son Paul stays warm busting firewood for the stove that keeps me warm. :D
He gets paid though.  ;D

Great Idea!  We are going to be sawing pretty steadily for the next few weeks.  I think I'll keep my little box stove stoked up in the shed.

Good to see a young fella that knows how to split wood.

Around here a wooden handled maul usually comes back in 2 pieces!  :D

Around here, that's 2 more sticks of firewood.


And Peter, I did shave....we got to go get family pics made this month. Got a memo from the wife.  >:(
Your pics of your snow are very nice. Snow looks its best when the sun is shining on it.  :)

I love your set up Poston. :)

Thanks! When I'm sawing....the sawdust is flying and the lumber is being stacked.
But when I'm laying back......I still like to be close to my mill. Just a country thing.  :D

 Love the rockers, ifin I ever go visite, you best check the back side of the pick-up for they could be stashed in there.  :D

Posty!
I had to chuckle @ the last pic of Paul whacking away...looks like there are a few dents in that block.
Brings back some memories.  Glad I had to do it back then....glad for hydraulics now!

Looks like he is a "lefty" swinging a right-handed maul!  ;D

As I raise my son...I try not to include hydraulics.  :D :D :D :D :D
Sometimes I'll slip a piece of SWEET GUM in on him just to see how warm he can get.  :D
