I bought a pellet fireplace insert a few weeks ago, and I went back to the store and bought three tons of pellets. I hope to get delivery next week. I agree—even if they don’t run out, the price will surely go up by next fall.

I hesitated a week before buying the insert, and I almost missed out. I got one of the last ones that our stove store could locate anywhere.

We have a wood burning stove at the other end of the house, but lugging firewood for two stoves just seemed like too much to get into, so I decided on the pellet insert for our second oil saver.

It gets cold enough here to ice over the toilet, but that's about it. I can pile on blankets, and the catz will dig in, so I don't have to worry. It will be better than 2005 TDY to Alaska (no catz). And I somehow forgot to turn in that gear.

I feel for the yankees. It's going to be a cold, bitter, expensive winter this year.
