Camp fire in the living room

[mbulriss]

Well, our camp fire in the living room is out. Finally got power back
yesterday afternoon. First day (Tuesday) wasn't too bad as the house
interior only got down to 52 or so at the low. *Finally* found some
kerosene on Wednesday - at the bargain price of approximately $7/gal!
- and fired up the KeroSun heater from our days up north. Brought the
whole house back up into the 60s and acted as a cooking source so it
wasn't too bad. The heater was real nice with your butt backed up to
it! Glad the camp out is over though. Still have ice piled up around
the house and it is still raining off and on and scheduled for more
this weekend - temps in 40s rather than 20s though! Now the clean up
begins. I have moved most of the broken limbs off the house and out
of the way. Will be cutting trees for several weekends.

Come on spring!!!!
