It's going to be Summer soon, here. My body is ready.

Fall is the only good season, and I'm definitely looking forward to it. The others are too damn hot, too damn cold, or migraine-inducing.

Fall could be all year long, I never tire of it.

Oh! I forgot about PUMPKIN PIE

I probably have about 8 weeks tops before some serious cold moves in. Need to find some wood to burn fast, I usually find it too, just never a constant source. I heat my bedroom with a Coleman BlackCat catalytic camp heater that runs off 1 lb. mini-propane bottles. Last winter I started refilling my own mini-bottles with a refill adapter off a 20 lb. tank. I like wearing coats.

I've always wondered about those Coleman catalytic units. Sounds like a cool application of those catalysts. I'm assuming you keep a window open nearby or do you just chance it with the exhaust fumes? Do you burn firewood in a woodstove or fireplace?

You forgot the delicious crisp crunching of fall apples.

September and October could be the weather all year 'round...... Then again if I were rich I could just have 2 houses, one in Texas for the winter and one in Oregon for the summer, and that'd probably be close to ideal

Alas I'm already starting to notice the slow & steady transition, dewpoints staying under 70F during the day and nightly temps in the 60's... Can't wait! If I ever kick this darned sinus infection it's gonna be bicycle & motorcycle weather for sure.

The instructions of my Coleman heater says to have a window or tent vent open but I haven't died yet from keeping my window closed. It has a high and low setting and I only use the low setting. My bedroom is 8.5' x 11.5' in length and width, my ceiling slopes from 7' to 6' gradually over the 11.5' distance. This will be my 3rd cold season using it. I also have a carbon monoxide detector on my bedroom wall, it's never beeped yet. I'm alright on the safety side.

I keep 2 carbon monoxide detectors and 2 smoke detectors in my living room where I have a wood burning heater. My wood burning heater is a closed unit, pretty safe, I sometimes use the "fireplace" term interchangeably even though there is a difference.

This is my "fireplace" >

Ah nice, I love old woodstoves (although drool over the tech behind newer "EPA-certified" ones). I have a couple in my house, one I've disconnected & sealed the flue b/c the stove's got some warpage that leak fumes, but the one downstairs is awesome (a Jotul from 1984). Love it when the stove's burned for a few hours and the living room floor above is warm...

Yeah in theory the catalyst should nuke any of the CO. Combustion technology at its finest!

I really like summer. I want to get a beach trip and maybe a hike/camping trip while it's still roasty toasty.

That looks so cozy and nice.

It is. I love splitting wood and stacking it right outside my front door. I love the smell of chimney smoke when I'm outside and it's cold weather. I don't use an axe to split wood, I have one of these>
