@KazzyH
yeeeep, the Kennebec River hasn't had a decent freeze in the last 6 years now. I miss smelting

@Priestess gotta ask if you're fine with sharing what's your solar kwh/month vs total cost for the setup(monthly?) vs what you're paying monthly for remaining power needs +
what that looked like before solar + whats the cost for a watt from the grid?
I want to go solar but the life of the panels vs the loan I'd take out right to pay for them would have it so I'd end up paying more for panels if the cost of natural gas(primary grid power gen) fell or my growth of power consumption increased.

I will probably not even bother filling and starting the pellet stove tonight.
I'll let my furnace kick on at 60F if it gets so cold overnight or 64F around 5 am if it gets so cold.
Heck I might not even start the pellet stove tomorrow I may tell the furnace to raise the house temp to 66/67f and then let mother nature do the rest.

This whole week is supposed to be very warm. I dread what could happen to trees and vegetation with multiple 40-degree temp swings.

To continue this.
last year I bought 4 TONS(8000lb) of PELLETS and had 20 BAGS(ish) remaining + dropped my oil tank from 1/2 to just under a 1/4th.

I Again BOUGHT 4 TONS and FILLED THE TANK UP TO JUST ABOVE 3/4ths

THE TANK IS BARELY BELOW 3/4TH, AND I HAVE SLIGHTLY OVER 2 TONS(4000LB) OF PELLETS LEFT + LAST YEARS 20(ish) BAGS (1000lb)

THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

I SHOULD BE BURNING MY "COLD DAYS" pellets right now.
I was burning my "NOT SO COLD DAYS" pellets & even that is too much.

How's your day going?
I'll start, I checked my wyze cam aimed at my pellet stove in the basement, thinking I could use it to view how much time remaining on the current cycle the clothes washer was running

@BosmangBeratna I'm extremely fortunate in I work from home and my parents are close by and will gladly go shopping for us, if we need anything

How is it every time I've had this damn virus my body reacts wildly different to it
I've had the sniffles and coughing.
I've had headaches that felt like devil's horns, headaches where it hurt to close my eyes and sniffles.
Now im apparently coughing and producing a shit ton of mucus with an extremely sore throat

Goes on work retreat( whole company is wfh):
Spends time with a lot of great coworkers
Monday rolls around, Office Manager sends out an email that says some people at the retreat tested positive
I start getting congested
Tuesday future BIL & coworker says he's got a fever, coughing, and congested
Tuesday afternoon manager asks if I've got COVID in a bug meeting, turns out everyone I spent time with it has it
Tuesday night I start coughing.
Here we go third thanksgiving where I'm in quarantine

@JustinTX I think emailing
[email protected] is a valid option as well

@slapout blueberry pancakes are the bomb

Just road through #Lewiston on i95 the Walmart distribution center is working rapidly to get all the backed up tractor trailer trucks moving, three were pulling up onto the highway as we came up on em

@slapout pumpkin pie for Breakfast 🤣🤣🤣 I'm going to have to try that

I really really hope, all the elected officials in #Maine get together and write some kind of workable common sense gun law and safety laws.

@DevinY1 yeaaaaaaah I'm hearing the same from some D voters as well
