Here comes winter!

Temperature today was decent, around 70. Obviously NM is lucky for the moment on that. Supposed to drop a bit by tomorrow night but nothing like areas around us. Most of the cold is staying to the north and east of here. 

Still not feeling too energetic but for a known reason. That may improve in a little while. 

I moved about 20 cinder blocks into the solarium today to try and gain more thermal mass. I think that and another 10 or 12 will be enough for the rocket stove. 

With temperature dropping tomorrow, I think I'll go ahead and get the surface of the porch finished in the next hour or so. It will have time to harden and dry before the temperature drops low tonight. The existing thermal mass of the porch and the heat produced by the concrete will help, also. 

Okay, instead of sitting and writing about it, I went out and finished the surface of the porch. 

So, there's a down side to installing the insulation. I like the bedroom rather cold when sleeping. The insulation keeps the room warm with residual heat from the day. 

Got two nights left before the dental work Fri morning. Guess I better get the house cleaning done before then. I really doubt I'm going to feel much like it Fri night.
