What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Its 3 am and I was woke up by the oil boiler . I have the tstat set @ 70 so the pipes don't freeze, it's -21 outside and the wind is blowing. I hate it that warm in the bedroom There's antifreeze in the system, but when it's this cold out I get nervous.

 

I woke up to the furnace too....but that's because I fell asleep at 8:30 and didn't get enough loaded in the stove before bed...doh!

Problem solved now.

 

- 14 F now and - 38 F wind chill, winter is here in New England. And up north in Northern NH and Maine it's real cold. Oh, can't forget Northern VT.

 

Good to be cautious, but whats the sense of the anti-freeze then? I think you would have been alright.

 

He can't remember only because he hasn't woke up from his dream yet!!! (Pretty good, no?)

 

Throwey uppey virus going through house,Two of three youngins finishing through it. Please, please don't let my wife and I catch it.

 

Woke up to -32 f here and .............frozen water pipes in crawl space. We have been thru this before in this kind of weather. Electric heater now running in crawl space. Hopefully it will free up shortly.

 

And I hope that you discovered it before any damage also!

 

I never would have thought it at the time but learned a hair dryer in the right spot got me out of a jam like that. Did it more than a few times after that until I did away with our crawl space. Hope it frees up quick for ya man.

 

Had a bit of a WTF moment this morning:

I went out the door to take a walk (and get a cup of coffee at the7-11) and I noticed that there was a bit of white smoke coming out my chimney. I thought it probably was mostly steam/condensation but thinking it was a little excessive I went back inside and opened the air up a bit more. Fast forward to my return on the walk. I rounded the corner and am looking down my street, there is a massive blue cloud of smoke billowing across the street by my house. WTF is going on? I try to burn it as clean as I can and I can't make that much smoke if I tried except on a cold ignition. Then after a brief moment I realized that it was coming from my neighbors, they had lit a fire in their fireplace. It was perfectly lined up with my chimney and from down the street I couldn't tell which house it was really coming from.

 

Woodgun cleaned and fired back up. Lots of inside work done over the weekend.

 

Nice to help a neighbor. God Bless you brother. Re the coyotes, around here the locals leave the coyotes and seldom have trouble. Where they get thinned out the feral dog cross breed coyotes fill the void and are nothing but trouble. Not saying don't shoot em but I kind of lean towards trying to find a balance. Good luck whatever you do.

 

Running pre-7 with a generic free ware operating system (Sun Open Office) and it meets my modest needs. Eventually I'll be forced to upgrade but until then I'm happy. At least I got to skip 7,8 and 10.

 

It looks like we'll have another cold night, a regular temp of -20.

The Liberty will get another load of Sugar Maple and some Ironwood with the Pellet Stove going in the other corner.

 

Got about 4" of snow today. Gonna plow out the old folks in the AM and drag the kids on the sleds in the PM since I have a day off tomorrow.

 

As soon as I walked into the Dave cave this morning, I would smell a strange odor of sawdust. Haven't used a saw sown here for a couple weeks now. I'll have to give it a bit more investigating once I get home from work.

Strange. Didn't notice it last night?

 

Happy Canadian Flag Day Picture taken last July. It is definitely not looking that out there right now.
