Vermonters:

 

Congratulations!!

I can't wait! We got the 82 plow truck running after a run-in with some bad fuel! Just need to figure out why it is bogging when you give it throttle.. I haven't hooked the electric choke up yet, so I'll probably have to do that..

At least it runs! That's a hell of a lot better than last year..

I'm done with the AC bills. Eversource decided to fuck everyone raw and dry. My last two bills were $420 and $475 respectively. They practically doubled the cost of energy for our area. I'm really mad about that

Heat and humidity are my enemy, being bundled up in winter is my friend. Being able to sleep without sweating is a godsend!

That thing is DOPE!!! Congrats man!

That made me laugh a LOT

 

Having the windows open overnight has been nice, A/C was cranking for pretty much all of July and August. "only" 73°. DOE says 78

 

We have ours go to 61 at night...

 

Vermont's road construction baffles me. Last two times I've driven up 91 and found many miles of cones blocking off a lane for no apparent reason. No construction vehicles, no visible signs of work being done in the past.

The town I grew up in didn't use salt, so the roads had a packed layer of snow on them all year. My town does use salt and I wish they didn't. I think a packed layer of snow with sand on it is just fine.

 

I prefer snow pack over icy pavement any day! Way more predictable!

 

Holy crap. I mean, I do that with the windows open but I ain't cranking the AC to get to that haha. We just use a thinner blanket in the summer and go down to MAYBE 71-72 at night

OH MAN down here, those rare storms where the snow gets packed, the plows haven't done a great job, and it's still cold the next couple days - that snow pack road....so smooth.

Then it melts and we're back to

 

That's with a top sheet, a super thin blanket, a fan, us, a 90lb lab, and a kitten. We like the cold

We keep it warmer during the day, then start cooling it down when the sun goes behind the trees, ya know.. for the environment or something.

 

Once I go solar and/or geotherm I'll be sitting pretty at like 65° summer 75° winter

 

A new one on me. I ordered a gas cap holder for my Tacoma and the package came today. The package was empty. No tears, they just sent an empty envelope.

 

That's nice. I ordered an add a fuse and got a butt plug. Consider yourself lucky.

 

I'm totally speechless here!

 

haha you and me sir!

I ordered an add a fuse + a couple other things from Amazon. All came in the same box.

Instead of the add a fuse/add a circuit (whatever they call it), I had a battery operated, remote control, vibrating butt plug. The back shoots lasers out in the shape of a heart. On the box, there's a tagline "Give a sexy downstairs light show".

 

Line painting? Mowing? Who knows, but I've seen the same thing on occasion as well.

 

Somewhere, someone is trying to figure out how to insert an add a fuse into their butt.

 

As penance, we keep the house at 61-64 in the winter!

That's shitty!

That still makes me laugh uncontrollably

 

Thanks man!

 

You should have seen 91 10-15 years ago. Pot-holed, foot-wide cracks, stretches of broken asphalt for miles…

Deer carcasses every 100 or so feet at various stages of decomp/being scavaged..

Between St.J and White River Junction.

I couldn’t believe it was an Interstate in the US.

 

Yeah that was my thought.

Amazon was funny. I got onto chat.

"I ordered an add a fuse and y'all sent a butt plug"

"..Good afternoon Rob..."

We do too actually. Winter is fine, 65 ish - night time it drops toward 60. Dog has a sweater, no big deal.

I still have the damn thing. I left it on the counter and then my mom was coming to visit or something so I chucked it in a drawer. Found it the other day when I was looking for something else.

"Sexy backdoor light show" is the best thing I've ever heard. I'm 20% tempted to see if I can make it into a shift knob.
