    I learned that watching Mountain Men on the history channel, they're a real nuisance out west to cattle farmers, they hire guys with hound dogs to chase them 10-12 miles back up the mountain.

    And Will kept saying the longwave pattern looks good, be patient. We're not known for patience on this board.

    Mine's too big to go all electric too but I have an electric for the trim and nooks and crannies, works well. How long does it take you to mow?

    If I was going to stay in my current home for a while, I'd buy the solar but we're retiring in 4 years so it's not worth it, just when we get it almost paid off, we're going to sell. The next house will have solar though.

    So you're saying there's a chance?
  6. DavisStraight
    Not really, you're really just locking in your electric cost at about what you now pay or a little cheaper so if rates go up you're protected. That's why buying them is the best way to go, there used to be a program through FHA where you could finance the solar panels at 0% interest for I think 10 years, that was the way to go, not sure if they still have that program.

    Anybody do a white Thanksgiving to winter weather correlation?

    I used to mow my parents lawn with one of those when I was a kid, damn thing was heavy, eventually my uncle gave me a newer one that was much lighter and easier to push.

    I know at least one model comes with one built in, so you're in luck.

    I keep forgetting you moved to a weenie spot, looks ok for where you are now, not so much down here.

    Met a guy at the golf course that works for the state and told me they dump a lot in Oakham, a friend of mine lives there in the sticks and has a bunch of photos of bears in his yard over the years. Big bears, female bears, bear cubs.

    Down to 30, so first frost this season.

    I'm down to 33, won't be long for first freeze.

    Last year I read an article about a group of people in Maine that do what he's doing for the whole winter. They do it every year. Not sure what they're trying to prove other than to save on oil or electric.

    12/2 works for me.
  16. DavisStraight
    There's been snow all around me looking at radar and not a flake here. I'm at 41.
  17. DavisStraight
    Down to 39, not sure if I get down to freezing.
  18. DavisStraight
    I'm still at 44, need the first frost to dump the leaves on my Japanese Maple.

    I got a Fiskars too, I like all their tools, I have an electric splitter, as 12 ton gas and a friend nearby with a 22 ton. Haven't lit the stove yet although I should have last night, house was cold this morning.

    I hit 36 too, lowest so far this fall.

    Thought we were in line for a great winter that year, but nope.

    Is that a katydid?

    Yesterday after every little gust of wind it was raining leaves. My lawn is covered again already.

    I found a giant one in my bushes not 5 feet from the door I use every day, lucky I or my dog never got stung, we never knew it was there until the fall. My dog stuck her nose in one near the front porch once, thankfully, she's not allergic but got a scare.

    One of the courses I golf collects those in the winter, they have over 20 of them hung on the walls in the clubhouse.
