50 degrees on Jan 1st. Something just isn't right.

I saw a dude in a Porsche today riding with the top down!

It may be 50 degrees, but I just drove the 4 wheeler on the lake in the cove near my place

how thick is the ice up there?

 

[IBratmanI]

Well most of the lake out front has no ice on it at all. But in the cove and along the edges there is between 3 and 5 inches. We need that colder air to move in!!! I'm itching to get out there and fish.

 

[scubiecraig]

Yikes... you took a chance out there with only 3-5 inches bro. That's the amount you like to see for supporting just a human... not including an ATV or snowmobile. Be careful!

I was in 2 feet of water, I didn't go out far! I know all too well about the dangers. Only takes 2" of good black ice to hold a human. This ice didn't even crack. Just did a couple doughnuts and drove back off.

Yes, each time I have to drop $350-$400 on tanks of propane, I cringe!

Just got an oil bill today, I cried a little inside.

I love all the free firewood I have! It all came from work, and all I had to do was cut and split it.

After you go thru a heating season and know the approx number of gallons used you can sign next summer for a pre-buy at a better price and have uniform monthly payments.. PM me next summer and I`ll give you some negotiation tips.

Do you let it age a season ?

Let it sit all summer. Pretty much as long as you have it all split before September, you're good to go. I have some that is still a bit wet, but most of it is all nice and dry

what Inski said

 

[CoupedUpSubie]

I agree on the saving money point. Spent the day cleaning up the few trees that had to come down.

We had a tree that got hit by lightning. A HUGE white pine. That was a pain in the ass to clean up.

wO0oO0t! More heat today. I was diggin it.

My car was having some not so nice down shifting issue. It wouldn't down shift well at all. But since the temps went up its ok now. weird

I pulled my motor in 4 hours. Was drinking beer and on the phone most the time. I'm also moving to Portland. Was a busy day.

 

[GClark]

Nice job Dan.

I think the Acura is sold.
