c-series don 8,664 #26 Posted May 9, 2020 This is definitely the latest I’ve ever used my wood stove, temperatures in the 30’s winds are cranking 30+ mph and it’s a cozy 72 in my house! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,022 #28 Posted May 9, 2020 I summerized ( is that a word....opposite of winterized) my wood stove about a month ago. Cleaned and polished the stove and cleaned and capped the chimney. With fuel oil selling at $1.64 / Gal. I'll save my wood till fuel price increases. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First, they mix it with a super adhesive to make a liquid that is impossible to remove. It has a big appetite for those $200 each Ford brake rotors. It can consume 4 in one winter ...and that's with out a plowable snow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate these farm programs, corn in gas engines, soybeans in diesel and red beets on the highway. Next time for brakes, I'm getting the coated rotors. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #38 Posted May 10, 2020 Beautiful day here in Oklahoma today...did get a bit chilly for us last night (37 when I left for the coffee shop this morning) but warmed up to a wonderful 75 for the afternoon. Pretty nice compared to the upper 90s we had a few days ago. Boys and I decided it was a good day to take the old M for a cruise around the ranch 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda sounds like the climate is AFU to me!
