37° Today‼ This is awesome‼

[Whitespider]

Heck, I didn't even put a jacket on this morning (but I do wear wool long-johns and wool shirts this time of year).
Maybe, just maybe 40° tomorrow, and mid-to-upper 30's through Monday.
We ain't tossed a single stick in the furnace since 5:00 AM and there still ain't no need... 7:30 PM and still 70° in the house.

'Round here we call it the "January Thaw"... which we didn't get last year.
But... ya' know what the problem is with the "January Thaw"??
When ya get one.... February usually cobbers ya'‼ Big friggin' time‼

Still, we're celebrating my youngest boy's seventh birthday tomorrow, and my oldest boy (27 years) is coming to participate (with the grand baby)... perfect... we may even light the fire pit if the wind dies down in the evening (predicted for 25-35 MPH in the afternoon).

(And yeah... I bought a fresh bottle on the way home tonight.)

All my friends are giving me the hardest time, especially now that we are building a new house and I'll have weddings and college to help pay for and probably be in a wheel chair as much as I abused my body in the early years
Wood keeps me going mentally as well as physically
3 women in the house takes alot out of a guy

27F here. It's easy on the woodpile. No fear of freezing in some snow bank. Lol.

...probably be in a wheel chair as much as I abused my body in the early years

That's what I used to think, but I'm startin' to think I might be related to the Energizer Bunny... maybe it has somethin' to do with havin' a 7-year-old.

Three?? One wife and one (teenage) daughter (she wants piercings) is enough.

Can't imagine that the little women would tell me about piercings in places other than ears!
Hopefully I'll be drooling in a towel before I have to hear that

 

[Whitespider]

Can't imagine...

The teenage years are a treat... Mom tells me it's pay-back‼

[Jakers]

Got 8 kids ranging from 23 to 9 years. 4 boys, 4 girls. 2 oldest are girls, 1 married, 1 college so out of the house. No major problems with either. My 13 year old girl (nicknamed sweet pea) changed personality on her 13th birthday. She earned her nickname when she was younger then, at 13 (I swear it happened overnight on her birthday) she switched on the teen gene. She's had some rough days, weeks cause I won't put up with it. No piercings or tattoos (that I know of) yet.

We're looking at sunny and 52° today but with basketball starting I'll be in a gymnasium watching little kids shoot airballs.

 

[chuckwood]

I'm gonna be splitting today and have mixed feelings about it. We're gonna hit mid 50's today. But I'm debating some global warming alarmists at the moment and it would be nice to have a repeat of last January right now. Maybe Feb. will take up the slack. I have a visitor who works in N Dakota coming over today to help split, and he is really digging the weather here right now.

When my oldest was 5 she wanted pierced ears I said not until you're 13, a few days later they came home with pierced ears, a week or so later her ears were infected really bad so she had to get rid of her earrings, and yes I did say " I told you so".

 

[Guswhit]

I quit saying "I told you so" it only got me in trouble
