    Mrs. B's wife he must of stayed down round Dumas. Our high yesterday was 33. I know yaw'll are colder up there but that was pretty cold getting under them trailers and greasing them in the wind. It seems like grain bins create some kind of wind tunnel because it always screams between bins. It's like 18 here now but the winds died down quite a bit. Have a good day everybody.

    I've had the furnace shut off here. Been feeding the Wood furnace. I didn't wake up at 4am this morning, so it was about 66 in here when I woke up, usually its about 75. LOL

    I would not trade our wood furnace for anything. The propane man now hates us. We only fill once a year now, vs about 6 times a year, running the lp furnace in the winter.

    Well worth the $1600 price tag, paid for itself in the first three months. :yes2557:
