We have gas and wood burning fireplaces. I’ll bring a few dozen logs from the back yard and put them on the front porch tomorrow and Thursday to have them ready to go.
Good thing we just had the furnace checked a couple weeks ago for its age (we’re looking at switching to a heat pump or geothermal this year). Everything looked good, but knowing my luck it’ll die on Friday night just as we drop below zero.

Furnaces don’t get pushed as hard down here (as I’m holed up due ice and sub-freezing temps).

Looks like I’m riding indoors this weekend again:
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/01/...-cold-weekend/
News flash - I was going to be indoors even if it were seasonable temperatures. But it does mean I get to have a fire going all day if I can get my ride in early enough!

HTFU, and get outside!
Edit: It’s not like I live in one of those southern states, like North Carolina.

I have never purchased a solitary stem cap.
These are the only bar plugs I've ever purchased:

The Younger Boy was colicky as a wee one. Luckily, Mom and Dad came out to stay for a while when he was just a couple weeks old. They were old hands at dealing with that - Dad especially. He'd lay TYB face down across his legs, and TYB would soon fall asleep. Somewhere, we have a picture of Dad, with TYB across his lap, doing the New York Times crossword puzzle.

I have a pair of those that are doing a fantastic job lifting up one end of a dish drying rack so it drains in to the sink. Nice of the engineers to design the legs of the rack with the same ID as a road handlebar
