We've had our first week with temps below 100F.

But the weatherman just said that they're headed back up over 100 next week...

abigsecret · 25 September 2008, 11:20 AM

Nope my central air is still on 24/7...
That explains my $300 monthly electricity bill!

East Bay Rider · 25 September 2008, 11:41 AM

I don't have as much firewood as I usually like to have before the season starts

but this year I'm thinking about buying a pallet of Bio Bricks to supplement the oil furnace.

Nothing better than a Husky and 18" bar. I have a couple and a Stihl with a 22'' bar. My in-laws heat with wood only and I help them out every year about this time. Hard work and lots of fun. Well, except for the spiders, snakes, poisen oak and ivey.

Wife bought me a small electric wood splitter last year for Father's Day.

My neighbor and I cut down, limbed, cut and split a whole tree in 3 hours. I like splitting it by hand and all but the electric splitter saves hours and hours of time.

I am only good for half cord by hand in a day. Yes, I use a log splitter and between my friend (father-in-law) four cords of wood a day are no problem. A cord is, for us at least, four foot high; four foot wide; eight foot long. Won't fit in a pickup truck.

East Bay Rider · 25 September 2008, 12:33 PM

Some of the less scrupulous wood sellers around here stack the wood by the cord before selling. Problem is they stack it criss-cross (like Jenga blocks) and claim it's for air circulation. Poor buyers are getting ripped off.
Wood is so valuable now that after the wind storms people were driving around in trucks and taking people's fallen limbs and trees. I've seen folks spray paint "Do Not Take" on the wood.

It's getting chilly here, but I just LOVE Autumn, so it's nice to wake up to the new colours and new chilly temperatures!

mopsey · 25 September 2008, 05:50 PM

I don't bother with the central heating.
If it's a bit chilly i just sit by a candle.

If it gets really cold i light it!!

Low 90's to high 80's in Vegas. No central heating needed till December (hopefully).

Hey, Chris, I just visited Maine a few months ago, around Sebago and Crescent Lake. Beautiful!

Launch Mini · 26 September 2008, 03:24 AM

Not yet, dipping down to around 10 C at night, still keep the window open for fresh air.
Maybe around Hallowe'en it might get some use.

James T · 26 September 2008, 03:31 AM

in SoCal, we are still using the ac!!

JJ Irani · 26 September 2008, 03:45 AM

What heating? It's SPRING here and I'm back to singlet and shorts!!

diversified · 26 September 2008, 03:58 AM

Another 2 months and the ski slopes will be up and running.

Baking brownies??? Based on an old family recipe, brownies require a bit of brown sugar.

gmh1013 · 26 September 2008, 10:37 AM

But I sure cranked up the A.C. today...

You guys to the north are so lucky to have nice cool weather,
It will be several weeks before it cools off here, maybe longer

I don't think I could handle the heat you guys put up with for so much of the year! How much does it cool off in the winter for you?

The lows here during the day can drop all the way to the 60's!

And during the night around 30's...

I hate the cold! Give me 90 degrees all year round!

Oh Gosh. During winter's here it averages around -4 degrees, sometimes colder, during the day!! I'll take your winters, but keep my summers! (Though it gets too hot here, ugh. Between 80-86!

)

It does get a little hot up here in the summer I must admit... This year we had about 22 days above 110 degrees...
But I don't like our winters at all, because it's really too cold for me!
I have to airconditioning set at 79 degrees day and night! (and then I still grab a blanket to sit under in the couch!

)

Toooooo hot! I want to move to the coast, where it never gets ridiculously hot, nor cold! Plus, water, and lots of rain! My ideal place
