Am. All I have at the moment is cash available for vape purchases, gotta get one of those damn Visa gift cards in morning.

Moved too slow this morning.
Same here. Have 2 carts full of flavors, didn’t make it to the bank today. Too cold.

Yep. Up and built fire then spent too much time with coffee.

Rushed home for dinner with in-laws.

Will be in 20's tonight so will be up at least 2 times to feed fire. Hopefully I'll still be able to move faster in morning.

I've got my routine once leave house, any deviation makes me feel rushed.

I have issues.

We heat only with wood, so I'm in a constant battle this time of year.

Wife surprised me by splitting some today. 30° or below I get little less sleep. We live in a box that has almost no insulation. Gotten used to it over the years. Hell I've gotten good at judging how much wood vs temp.

@Letitia

Just recoiled the OBS Nano. Had been using it for a couple weeks with a SS 27 AWG 2.5 mm diameter at .5 ohm and it was good.

Went with 3 mm core this time with 26AWG SS and it is far better. Shot for .5 ohm but ended up with .6 ohm too many wraps I guess.

Have you tried 3.5 mm core coils in it?

Yes, and it worked well, but I prefer 3mm. Seems to match af slot better for me. Felt a little restricted with 3.5mm. Raise the coil a bit when you try it out.

Sounds like you need a bigger stove or something.. I used to have wood-only heat and we would damp it down at night and still have hot coals come morning. .. I never got up in the night, never needed to.

As a beside.. for splitting wood you have one of these right?

JF should try one of these. It's a Rais. When it gets hot it heats the whole first floor without any special ducting. And you can cook on the stone portion if you want to feel like you are living on the prairie in the 1800's.

I was trying to avoid this thread. You posting that flawless squonker here pulled me in.

I'm still in denial that I have a problem at all. Much easier to spend when I can pretend.
Accepting that you are in denial is the first step to overcoming Shinyitis. Or maybe it's the second step.

Oh yes, we have a splitter, also a tractor to move wood and it.

I have coals, just not enough to push back little insulation. We pay (compared to rest of area) little in rent, so I'm good with it.

Besides at my age I'm getting up to go to the bathroom anyway...

Nice looking, but we have a cook top cast iron wood stove.
When it snows, power goes out. My wood stove safety paranoia wouldnt allow me to keep wood under it like that, 3+ feet away...that's incredibly scary, even if it would be considered safer under..
