Going to start a roaring fire tonight to take off the chill.
That's cool. My parents house was like that as I kid. I remember my dad making me go out to get fire wood in the middle of winter. Fucking horrible. Now I just flip a switch.

I have a woodburning stove. Much prefer that over gas.

I have never experienced a wood burning stove. Really, didn't even know they were still a thing.

I have an electric stove now, not by choice, it's what the house I bought had and it's only a year old so I don't want to replace it until it dies. I grew up with gas and had gas until this house... it was a learning curve, but can say I definitely prefer gas stoves over electric.

Growing up, we had a real fire place. It was cool as a kid cuz I could build fires, but I had to cut and supply the wood. I also tracked that shit all over the house so I'm sure my parents hated it lol. Judging by what my gas bill is now when my wife decides to turn the fire place on and insists our house is 80 god damn degrees at all times, I think I'd prefer a real fire place so she didn't have access to just flip a switch and turn it on lol.

Wed / Thur is going to be like 87 here. Way too fucking hot for February. Then dropping down to the lower 70s over the weekend, which is perfect. God bless cold fronts.

Come to FL. We can hang out by my pool. Will make wings, or something else awesome.

This is probably the first day of winter that I genuinely did not want to go outside because of the cold. -29 wind chill this AM!
