  1. Sure we need the rain but I couldn’t care less with warm season qpf. Check back winter when it really matters.
  2. I was aerating a few years back and caught an underground nest. When the wife looked out the kitchen window and saw me sprinting across the backyard while hitting myself on the back of the legs, she didn't know if she should laugh or call for help.
  3. Check/read the downloadable paper: https://www.clasp.ngo/research/all/replacing-residential-heating-oil-with-heat-pumps-in-the-us/
  4. But even as a young weenie, you thought about “staying safe”. So, congrats.
  5. Our friends in town switched from oil to a heat pump and while they’re not burning oil anymore, they’re electricity bill went through the roof over the winter. In order for a heat pump to make financial sense imo, you need solar. Unfortunately they live in a heavily shaded area with massive oaks on their property. I looked into heat pumps to eventually replace our two AC units. They have a few years left. The thought is if we’re going to spend the money on new AC units, we might as well get heat pumps, add an electric hot water heater, install solar, and get rid of oil. However, the electrical usage will sky rocket. The projected solar system would barely cover our existing usage, let alone the increase from heat pump and electric hot water. I did the math and there really aren’t any savings. It’s more of a feel good environmental change, unfortunately. I don’t understand your heat pump rebate post though. I was quoted $13k for a mid grade heat pump system. What would the final cost be after the rebates?
  6. DIT seeking comfort but Scoots takes the opportunity to undress his vulnerability with unfathomable facts. What a pal.
  7. You’re Brutal. It’s true, but…brutal.
  8. It’s gross with many bare spots and crabgrass. Once the drought hit, I let it go. Next month we’ll aerate and seed with JG Black Beauty.
  9. Best chance for a line of storms will be north of us. We’ll be limited to spotty convection here imo.
  10. Right. So Wait until next Thursday to tweet the map, which will include the big Tuesday rains.
  11. The map is, yes. Do you how much rain “southern areas” received on Tuesday?
  12. Exactly. The updated drought map will look different. Tweeting that one is misleading.
  13. Lol. Let’s not include 1-5” to keep the drought theme going.
  14. I could never live without animals but especially a dog. We’re down to 2 after one of our boston’s passed away, thankfully on his own as our kids held him. They experienced a great life lesson though as they were sad and asked where did Ace go. It’s an important part of their growth.
  15. Don’t run his AHHATT visions over with your now…
  16. Confused In Tolland just set his backyard on fire.
  17. DIT kneels before Wizzy…after kneeling before Scooter, and on and on. So much kneeling for the lad.
  18. I mean, don’t bet against warm/dewy days after LDW but the idea HHHATT is sustained for as far as the weenie can see is deeply twisted and full of wishful visions. Seasons behaving like seasons. Pretty standard.
