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 the COVID-19 virus makes itself more infectious
Upon infecting a host, SARS-CoV-2 manipulates its cellular machinery to modify an enzyme that then turbocharges Spike's ability to invade other cells. The enzyme, abbreviated as ZDHHC20, normally tags proteins with a little fat molecule that changes the way they work.

Paper:
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

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
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.
A shot of the Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah a few years ago.
Savannah has such interesting graveyards. If you haven't seen them, they're worth a visit.
@th3j35t3r What is even more sad is to see the replies fawning over the idea like it is going to just wipe out all competition. 😂
The man suspected in the fatal shooting of 18 people in Lewiston, Maine, has been found dead, sources say. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/27/us/maine-shootings-suspect-search-friday/index.html
The gun investigators believe Robert Card used in the Lewiston shooting was bought legally just days before he was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, sources say. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/27/us/maine-shootings-suspect-search-friday/index.html
My friend just texted me the github link where they're translating all the Harry Potter books to Gen Z.

I know what the word about the author is and it's not cool but learning Gen Z speak is hilarious.
