I was 5 years old, don't remember. But my dad just happens to be here now and just told me he had to plug in his diesel Peugeot (keep the glow plugs warm) at my grandmother's house to make sure it would start after the Christmas day festivities. Of course, it had to be plugged at any temp below about 25F if not garaged.
Yeah, 35 here, mist. Feels much worse. I got 3 cords last week. 1 cord was 90% black locust. 2nd time in three years. I pull out about 20 good pieces for hammer handles and burn the rest, of course. The stuff is gold to me.
Well, what a nice surprise. Went out to the truck to grab some logs for the wood stove and there was a nice dusting. Now a dusting is more than a trace, but less than a coating, right? Wanna make sure I get this right knowing some of you on here.
I hear ya. My town hired a special needs person to operate one of our three plows. I'm all for getting those people integrated into society, but putting them in charge of a 30-ton piece of equipment is absurd. I was at the local hardware store last Saturday and the manager and I were talking. He has a hundred mailboxes coming in next week.

Last year, a boom in your area was from someone supposedly firing off blanks in his homemade cannon. Heard across 3 towns.
Exactly. I have a massive debris burn pile going back to early September. Gonna head out there tomorrow afternoon and start my barrel incinerator for the small stuff. Will be too windy for an open fire, though.
