RE: Kerosene and Coffee
I'm fine with the cold, it is the kids I worry about. I am in shorts and a tank top for 360 days a year. Chopped wood the last time it snowed. I got caught that night as I was sweating wearing just shorts to do so. I ended up with bronchitis the next day. I am pretty sure it would have been pneumonia if I was in more clothes as I would have been sweating 5x's as much. I hope this round we get snowed in and I get to veg out with the kids without worry of going anywhere. They are all looking forward to staying home playing PS4 this week.
I hope everything will be fine. I bet the kids will love playing while outside it's bad weather. Sorry to hear about the bronchitis though. I also chopped some wood while wearing a t shirt in winter a year ago but I had nothing. On the other side, once I went out for a walk in autumn wearing a tshirt only and I ended up having neuralgia.
Yes, weather tends to get you when you don't expect it to do anything and then gives you a free pass when it has every right to get you.
The younger kids will love it as always. The older kids tend to just want to drink hot chocolate.
Personally I would choose both anytime. Gaming and hot chocolate all day long, no matter how old I would be 😂
Gaming and Monster!

Aw, that brings me back. I grew up on a wood furnace. My dad and brothers used to chop wood, and my dad would light up the fire place before we got ready for school so we wouldn't freeze. And on really cold days, he'd turn on the actual heater, and I'd sit on that thing in my nightgown and blanket and hog all the hot air until I had 5 minutes left to get ready for school. I would eat my cheerios wrapped up in blanket and heater, throw on a sweater and boots, and head off to school. Those were the good days. I don't miss 'em. But I kind of do....
I loved being by the fire as a kid but never enjoyed splitting wood until my 30's. Just something peaceful about swinging that maul knowing that you are providing heat for your family. You also get an amazing ab workout unlike anything else.
