Thank you so much for the box of goodies, Judith! We have divided up the spoils with great glee—the hat and gloves were just what I needed!

Josiah and I are about to head out for over a week away from the Lab, so here are the graphs for each of the four thermometers at the Abbey and their readings over the last week since artificially charging the mass, along with some notes on the fires we burned during that time:

Monday: Breakfast and dinner fires (lunch at base camp).
Tuesday: Fires for morning tea and lunch; dinner in Missoula.
Wednesday: Fire for morning tea, hot water to warm cob materials/dry walls, and lunch (burned most of the morning). Fire for dinner.
Thursday: Fire for breakfast through lunch to cook, heat water, and dry cob. Dinner at base camp.
Friday: Breakfast fire. Lunch fire. No dinner fire.
Saturday: Brunch Fire. Afternoon tea fire. Dinner at base camp.
Sunday: Fire from morning through afternoon (for cooking, cleaning, drying cob).
Monday (today): No fire. Cobbing stove.
