Life lesson

When the temperature drops to zero outside and you have an outdoor wood boiler, you can not go to bed early and get up late and still have a fire. I normally fill the firebox at 11:00pm and refill at 6:30am. Last night I filled it at 10:00pm and went to refill at 7:30am. Poor planning on my part. The water in my boiler needs to be above 180 degrees and it was at 82 degrees. So as the poem goes:

Late to bed

Early to rise

gives a man

heat where he lies.
