The typical crappy Jersey Shore wet snow. The three pairs of nesting birds in the Leland Cypress I’m sure are not happy .... maybe they are.







Thank god no pool.








Watched our yard rabbit take shelter under the F350 last night. Sometimes being stationary is a good thing and he knows it ain’t moving.

I wouldn't use one of those torpedo heaters at all.....

Headaches are usually due to carbon monoxide ingestion.
Both K1 and D2 in a "torpedo" heater (and propane or nat gas in a radiant heater) produce CO and I probably don't have to tell you that CO in high enough concentration will kill you........but before it does, it will give some people a hellova headache.......

Oh, and by the way, I have (somewhere) a FOMOCO publication on Ford truck frame welding. I'll send it to you when I find it but it is on the web somewhere......

My torpedo heater does not seem to put out that much CO.
But then again I do place a CO alarm in there.

Odorless, colorless, undetectable.......Not sure how you would be able to tell......Good thing you have a CO detector though!

I burn oil for heat but I don't allow the exhaust in!
