  1. I try not to forcefeed them even though some say to do it. I try to find something they want to eat. Maybe a simple diet of mealworms for a bit would help. Does she like mealies?
  2. No panic here. Just comfortably numb.
  3. idk...you already want to end winter early when it goes to hell in Feb/Mar so you may be one of those types that likes summer heat more as you get older and your body changes. I used to think like you, but then there's a year that comes where suddenly 90F kinda feels nice and 30F feels intolerable.
  4. It's like 70F inside my truck right now. It's ovah.
  5. Sorry to hear. I’ve never had to deal with that before. If you’re sure it’s sour crop then you’re dealing with a yeast infection in the crop. There are some OTC yeast meds people use on their chickens that are meant for fish. I wanna say ketoconazole, but you should research it. Do you have any vets nearby that will treat chickens? We have Weare/Hopkinton animal hospital, but it gets pricey and I’m usually left feeling underwhelmed when I leave.
  6. I guess in his defense we have a trough at H5 and BN 850s. Of course in April that can translate to near normal at the surface with enough sun.
  7. I have a pellet stove upstairs, but I like using the furnace because it heats the basement and warms the floors upstairs. My ash vac rusted out and I tossed it last fall so I'd need to buy a new one to use it too. I haven't cranked that pellet stove up in like 5 years. The pipe is probably full of creosote so I'd want a really cold day so I can run it really hot. It probably wouldn't be bad to run to supplement the oil use...especially during the day when we're on that side of the house more.
  8. Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Ain't got no snow Ain't got no cold But you can start a storm 'Cause I've got MJO! I feel alright MJO! It'll win the fight MJO! Don't care what the models show MJO! MJO will make it snowwwww
  9. There's a lot of water in the pack up here. I'd take a core, but I wouldn't be able to get the can through it. This will be me going out to my run in a month.
  10. Guess I wasn’t clear enough that I was implying here.
  11. Mud season was long gone by that warm wave. All of the sun's energy went toward heating the ground with no evaporational, melting, or sublimational cooling. I can't remember that ever happening that early up here before. 1945 was close but a couple weeks later than 2012.
  12. Some gas stations around here carry it…lots of campers.
  13. OK...I need a few days of backup fuel until my #2 oil comes next Monday... Anyone have the pros and cons of diesel vs kerosene? Diesel is cheaper, easier to get at the gas station, but I assume dirtier? Just curious.
