Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

It was that day. the day I grind pee and rust off the top of the woodstoove. Would that stop the smell of burning cat pee when I start for winter. No way. but it will lessen the smell. The boy cats like to jump up there and mark the stove in the summer, of course too warm in the winter. Most winters. I usually start it in october shut it off in May. I light once. this year will be different. The fire will run less.

Soon it would be cold enough to start heating with wood. Wood I don’t have this winter. I have enough left in the pile to get me to December if I ration leaving the coldest three months with no fuel.
