Morning Sherwin, Morris, Gigger, Randy and Grant. Any others that chime in as well 
Not to bad here this morning. -29/-38 with chill. Actually, as bad as it sounds, feels warmer out there today. Guess I'm getting used to it from running to the mancave to stock the stove in my PJ's....lol
You can't go wrong with wood heat. Cheap, fairly efficiant. Can get costly if you have to buy. Wife and I bought a spliter years ago. With us using maple, it's a life saver that thing!!!! I've thought of gas, we do have a gas line to the house. It's 1/3 the cost of electricity right now. I've installed 2 MAX heaters across the road from me and he really likes the units. He heats his garages with them. That's an option minus the cost of running pipe 100 feet to the mancave.

Our gas prices range all the way from $1.099 to $1.179, diesel is $1.239 to $1.359.
Our house and one of my shops are heated by natural gas and the other shop is oil heat.

With the fuel prices out there, this is probably the ultimate business for big fuel bills
Morris, do you run used Motoroil at all? I probably have 5 pails of it and have a hard time taking it to the recyle center.

Isn't the price difference just sickening. Never mind across Canada, 15 mins over the border and you can save a doller/gallon. Drives me nuts

Gooooood Mornin folks!!
Ya, I could drop the oil off there one day when in with the trailer. Don't want to put it in the shuffle buggy.
Got my Gryphon in the mail last night. Now to disable the 6gun and reflash the FICM.
Will probably update my ECM to a newer strategy as well. Have that "post buzz" flash in the truck right now and it doesn't do anything for our weather and cold starts Grrrr. Going to be workin in the cold this mornin. Brrrrrr
