    Can't say for sure, but last time I burned those North Amer. pellets, it wasn't good. Let us know if anything has changed. And try to get some sleep.

    Agreed IHP and really starting to believe it as the partner we have on this Job has suddenly decided to stop paying Superintendents for their overtime as it is not their company policy . Well when we sat down with all their execs and project managers before the job we had discussed this and the owner of my company had made it very clear and so it was written into the contract. So I am ready to say Fluck off but the only thing that is stopping me is that the manufacturing plant that we are building will save 34 lives every hour along with giving those with a child afflicted with Muscular Dis-trophy hope and eventually after treatment a wonderful life with their child . That is probably the only thing that has kept me chuggin along with this chite show but a man has to have his principals and I have mine, just a matter of time when others choose what and who they are ....
    Oh BTW I stand to loose 30 hours of overtime that I worked when no one else would cover during a critical shutdown. So see how it turns out

    Hope you get some rest and get to slow down some Luneyburg . Having hallucinations for no other reason than you are tired is terrifying. At least is sounds like you were somewhat smart about it and tried to stay off the road until they settled down. I don't kow man, you seem to go from one bad situation to another without even trying. Hope you get your OT too!

    x2 on all the comments above. 2 things, once I had to cover for ALL upper management for a 3 night inventory while working during the day, I was getting TOO silly on the road driving to the 45 minutes to work the 3rd day after only 3 hours of sleep for 3 nights, not healthy and makes people silly, put your foot down Luneyburg . The second is I drove an old truck for many years with a stiff clutch and gas pedal, my feet and fingers began going numb and other though the heat was on full blast on a big V8 engine, years later I learned I had inherited the RA gene in my DNA and had a rare variant. Please Go See A Doctor!

    OK, cleaning up some today,getting ready for a trash run, had last cleaned up pellet bags in Sept. Yes, was one of those years I had to use stove every month of the year. So, counting them as loading them in garbage bag, I have went through 1 ton and 30 more bags. Still have 1.5 ton in basement, and 1 ton outside on truck, so I should be OK, as LP is still mostly full, filled when was cheap. I really want to burn the Ligs that have been downstairs for so long,lol.

    I also can't find any Snake Soup, I just don't understand the lack of such delicacies.

    I don't think "Coronavirus" is a good name.
    It should be called the "Kung Flu" instead.

    You might want to check out your local dispensary. Its legal here, and there are items that just help you sleep and relax, without the thc, the chemical that actually gets you high. Just do a little online research, or visit them and tell them what you need. there are oils you take by mouth, and edibles, usually gummies or chocolates, that can help you. Again, I am not promoting getting high. They have very useful, non addicting, legal, natural products that might help, with zero thc. ( I like the thc gummies, but that's me! )

    Yup hemp based CBD & now CBG oils have almost no THC. CBG's benefits are a calming, relaxing feeling, also has strong anti-inflammatory & pain relieving properties. CBG also enhances CBD's properties so it's a good combo to use for pain & sleep.

    Just a caution if you get tested for work, they can show up. Had a friend light up a pipe of CBD in my car and I about blew a gasket - and immediately opened all the windows even though it was 31* outside. First, nothing gets smoked in my vehicles (I smoke tobacco but not in my car or house - ever). Second, I work for a DoD prime contractor and can get tested at any time. There is no tolerance for it per government contracts (doesn't matter if it is legal or not). Although they would probably let me go to counseling, since I don't use the stuff, I would not be happy if that occurred.

    However, if you don't have those constraints, there is nothing wrong with seeing if it works for you.

    That's a coastal thing. It doesn't happen inland.

    Sea level is projected to rise by 5.6" here over the next 15 years but you need to understand I'm close to 186' above sea level. Hell I can't even see the lake from here.
