While loading up my wood tote to bring into the house this evening I paused and thought for a moment. Its mid November, the temps in SE WIsconsin are just now starting to warrant real heating as opposed to just knocking the chill off the house, and my split, stacked, well seasoned firewood is either in the garage or just outside the side door tarped. I couldnt help but think," Well, at least I had the forethought and drive to cut and scrounge enough wood last year to ensure a toasty warm house this winter. Im fortunate enough to enjoy working in the woods and have found a few places to haunt on a regular basis to make sure that 2013's wood will be cut and seasoning before long. I can hardly wait to see how many ties WE Energies contacts me this year about replacing my gas meter. (It was replaced once already, during the first winter I headed with wood.) The morons inspected it twice and then replaced it even though they had to walk past my woodpile to get to the meter.
I see the Craigslist ads from people that supposedly are out of work, only heat with wood, have no wood, and are looking for free seasoned wood. I was out of work last year also and that was one of the reasons I HAVE enough wood for this year. It reminded me of the grasshopper and the ant, and for once IM the ant!!! LOL
Some people dont understand us, some would try and stop us.......But to those of use who enjoy the WHOLE process from cutting to burning.........Life is good
Ok, I think its time for a beer by the fire........
