Good after noon Joseth,have you had any trouble with draining the water tanks yet this winter,Thanks
nope, because i only drain it on days that I know its not freezing and/or I just ran it. Truck stays in my barn as well, so it does not get as cold.

Good morning all.
This is the coldest morning of the year this far. 18 F hear in the south USA . Just too cold for me to do much out side except feed cattle later in the day and hoping temps will warm a little.
I need to do some running around and good time to do it so not to be out in the cold.
The little 95 dakota truck and gasifier started up in this cold quicker than ever . By the time I lite the gasifier and got back in the cab ( plus a min or two ) it was running sweet.
OK, I am out the door and SWEM

About an hour later and a quick 40 mile trip .
The truck fits in with the public and seems to get no attention even in front of the sheriff office .

Brian brought it up, so here is my favorite It looks like it was recorded in the same place. Food for thought at Argo. Will Ronâs International keep a beat like that old Volvo? TomC

Have had temperatures between -30 C and -15 C ( -22 F to +5 F) for several weeks now. Only half a foot of snow. Not much of insulation to showel towards the house foundation.
Burning in avarage 100 kg (200+ pounds) of wood a day to keep the cold out.
It seems Bill`s solution - a smaller house - would be appropriate

Hello Mr. Tom.
I must admit keeping the little dakota below the speed limit can be a chore but in this case I was getting the title for the new dakota that followed me home last week put in my name .

âSome Central and Eastern Kentucky counties could see as much as 18 inches of snow from a winter storm that is expected to wallop the region Friday.â

If that much snow hits the ground around here, I shovel around the house a little and then head for Mission Ridge Ski / Snowboard Resort and go riding. 13" of snow to ride on today. It was sweet.

Just a little smirk.
We were watching to news tonight as they they are forecasting your weather, namely in DC. They received a dusting there and shut down the town. They were clearing the shelves at the stores. We had a chuckle and now anticipating tomorrowâs news for entertainment. The mayor of DC openly admitted they handled it all poorly.
