Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 18 on the front porch.

Duck pond still frozen. Polk County is short one more coyote. That's about all the excitement here.

We are going under another Winter Weather "advisory" for 24hrs starting at 1600 on Monday. Oh joy!

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

The local weather station says its 12 degrees. Seems balmy compared to some of the temps that yup guys have been experiencing on the east side.

We haven't had anything over 9* for the last two weeks, and most nights have been below 0 deg. The worst I've ever seen it here in 40 years was 1982. It went to 23 BELOW, and stayed there for 3 WEEKS! At the time I owned a property management company (which I sold...) and we had 59 rentals plus my own RV park. All, including my own home, were frozen up with burst pipes. Took me and my crew over a month to get water to everybody........

I bet!
In Md, we have to have water below the 36"frost line
Any piping out of the ground has to be a frost free valve, or heat taped.

NC is 6". Very seldom they have a hard freeze

These temps are really rare around here, but they do happen every once in a while. We only have to bury pipes 24" here, but I've never seen it freeze that far down yet...

It was my own damn fault........ The burner was slowing down from full on and I knew the filter screen was plugging up so I pulled it out and cleaned it off. That made the fire go out so I threw a lit piece of paper in the firing chamber to relight it. Done it before and never had a problem with relighting it. Never done it with the damn thing running wide open before though. Won't do that again! I had just closed the fire door when the damn thing "lit off" with a huge BOOM! Scared the crap out of Harley and he came running. He found me setting on my butt with the door blown off................lol

Learn something new every day...

Morning Charlie and Pat.

Don, that's a "Dude hold my beer and watch this" moment.

I'm glad you weren't hurt.
