A friend is having some oil burner problems so I told her about what we did some years back. One of the regulars here at the time mentioned Energy Kinetics so I did some research and a local company sold them.
Just want to mention it while it came up and some of you here may be thinking about upgrading. We saved 38% over previous use so it paid for itself over a few years.Reduced use by hundreds of gallons.
I thought all Democrats used heat pumps powered by windmills and solar panels and unicorn farts.
Ponk
What the f*ck is a "ponk"?
There is a shortage of "L" this time of year.
Here there is a shortage of °s. The wind chill was -17F this morning.
When I was stationed at Loring AFB, ME the local regulation was that people were not allowed to work on the flightline when the wind chill went below -69F. The news stations reported wind chills below that, but on base the official wind chill never went below -69F.
When working on airplanes you had to take your gloves off so someone would point a blast heater at your hands for the five minutes you were allowed to be out there.
Similar, but opposite, at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas. Above 120F we were supposed to wear gloves to prevent burning our hands, but you really can't work that way. Above 140F we were supposed to only be on the flightline at the Commander's direction. 110 in the shade can easily exceed 140 on the flightline, thanks to the endless concrete and asphalt out there.
It was down to -27C or -17F here in Southern Ontario overnight. Still -25C (Real termp -14) here at noon. Thankfully not much snow HERE but a lot when you get closer to the lakes, and to south-east and north-west. Here in Kitchener Waterloo area we are in some sort of a "shadow" for Lake Effect snow the last number of years. Below zero F is not terribly common here - usually get a few days down around -10F. The lakes all around except to the North East moderate things a bit.
It all feels the same below 0F...
It's like a pog but the same size.
We've got 27 °F. Winter is over!
Get the "L" out of here.
