Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Grass finally got cut yesterday before the latest line of storms rolled through.....huge wet clods of grass were the result. But it's cut.

 

ONLY TO HAVE TO TECH SUPPORT ABOUT THE

 

Looks like a serial killer message and have no idea what almost all of that is

 

May attempt some later after it dries out a bit

 

Got my '18-'19 propane price the other day.....price has jumped .30¢/gal. since last year. US is shipping a LOT out of the country.

 

NO LIKE !!

HHO hasnt dropped at all this summer which means probably the same kind of increase there this winter. Gonna make sure and get another ton or 2 of pellets for more burning vs the oil monster again this year

 

Got 4 ton and that would be more than enough if using some oil for at least half the heating load but want at least 5-6 ton JIC it goes 80/20 favoring pellets

 

This what COD Oil is charging around here right now:

 

About the same here. Last few summers its dropped close to 2 buck but this year it hasnt moved since end of winter/early spring.

 

More like 122 billion, or 19 % of stock value! 16 billion or 122 billion are both numbers higher than I can comprehend. The numbers I like are those that say that I have enough income coming in to match up for what is needed going out!

 

Did not help my IRA at all...

Mowed my yard, weed wacked for the 2nd time this summer (I avoid as much as possible), did some other miscellaneous yard stuff and called it a day. Got groceries, took a shower, did some reading now just waiting for clothes to get done in the washer. Tomorrow night I will mow the neighbor's yard.

Speaking of the neighbor, another guy that lives down the street (GDTS) is putting in a new front porch for him. The concrete steps were tilting alarmingly and it only had a basic hand rail - oh, and had 4 steps. New porch is wood and longer so the can put a chair out there for his wife, and has 5 steps to make it easier to navigate. I don't know why my neighbor didn't want a ramp, but that is what the GDTS told me. Anyway, the GDTS is doing it just to be a good neighbor and supplying the material - awesome!

 

Were finally getting a *brief* reprieve from the humidity, and it’s NICE!

 

Helped son repair a leaking pipe at his home this morning and mowed the entire yard this afternoon. Also weed wacked most things with my Dewalt battery trimmer until the 60/20 volt Dewalt battery died. I let it sit for an hour or so to cool internally and put it on the charger. The charger blinks fast indicating the battery has an issue. This will be the second 60/20 volt battery that has failed on me. Ill try again to charge it again tomorrow.

I use Ryobi 18v products and bought a couple of 2-packs when they were on sale so I always have spares and I keep them charged. I was surprised yesterday that the weed wacking only took one battery, although it was definitely slowing down in the end - dang, reminds me that it needs to go on a charger. I have yet to have a battery have an issue that charging wouldn't take care of, but I probably don't use them as much as other people do.

Are you sure the fast blinking doesn't mean that it is charging super fast?

 

No, it means there is a problem with battery pack or charger. My son and I have several Dewalt tools and several batteries. These 60/20 extended power batteries are new and are still under warranty from my Mac tool dealer. I'll get a replacement.

The Ryobi charger will blink the red light when you first put the battery on the charger...then with the red lamp on steady the green lamp blinks fairly fast...when the battery is charged the red lamp goes out and the green lamp cycles on and off slowly...

 

The company I bought from last year is a regular oil company but they have the lowest prices. Right now they are $2.42 for 100 gal. plus I get $.02 discount because I'm old. I think last year I paid around $2.05.

 

The weird thing is its always the battery that runs that the trimmer.

I am in a locked price with Fielding. 700 gallons propane at $2.49 a gallon. Last year I only contracted for 500 gallons at about the same price. I am on one of those pay monthly same price every month. I think I get two months off. I don't own my tanks.
