Out of the Blue

Well, the cold war between MrsBlue and myself came to a rapid conclusion this year. We have an annual standoff over who will be first to turn on the heat when autumn comes. The stakes were a bit higher this year than usual, since we got our gas meter fixed recently, and are apparently still within the period where they are monitoring our gas usage to correct our back billing. Bill adjustments and bragging rights be damned, once the thermostat showed 63 degrees, I caved and fired up the furnace. I may have lost the war, but I won the battle, or something like that, as at least I'm not freezing.

Our house's minimum temperature is set for 55 degrees. That is when the wood pellet stove kicks in. I don't use oil except for in extreme circumstances, only cord wood and pellets. Usually when I get home from work I'll start building a fire within 10 minutes so that when dinner comes around it's a cozy 67. By the time my boy hits the sack it's probably closer to 73.
