Sorry for your loss @eon_blue
You did Simba a solid @ end stage.

 

Damn. I’m so sorry to hear that, Ryan.

Losing a pet is just so brutal, but I’m so glad that the good boy had you guys there loving him up to the end. Hang in there.

 

I know it's fawkin cold outside when I get out of bed and the dog doesn't follow lol

 

Keep it cool in your house at night? I turn the heater down to 58 for nights.

 

Yeah we keep it cold. The tstat gets set at 60-63 because the gas bill is fucking absurd.



I should install a digital one in the shop so I can set it even lower haha

 

Natural gas isn't too expensive here, but I feel bad for the people who need heating oil, that nightmare seems miserable. It's mostly a northern east coast and midwest thing but a few folks with old houses here still have heating oil too.

 

Yeahhhh my grandparents house had a huge 1000(?) Gal buried tank in the yard. Paying for delivery and managing usage must have been a PITA because they added electric baseboard heat everywhere haha

 

I remember when Arkansas Louisiana Gas (ARKLA) would run a promotion and give away gas lights for the yard, heavily discounted gas grills for the patio, gas clothes dryers, gas cook stoves, air conditioners, and refrigerators just to get people to burn more gas. It was dirt cheap and apparently easy to run pipes because it seemed like a big area that had natural gas. That eventually changed. Though I think it was a natural byproduct of oil fields in the area that was either piped and burned or wasted.

hahaha the gas refrigerator has always been a cool novelty. I think they're still used for RVs

 

Yeah, they are, but it is still kinda wasteful to run. It's not an insignificant amount of fuel used to maintain cold.

 

Yep. I still see them.

I'm sure very expense with propane.

 

Nice

 

This is one of my wacky correlation theories that I should explore someday when I've run out of things to do.

I've noticed that the way people treat each other in truck owner clubs follows the number of trucks in the junkyard. I've seen some asshole clubs where the junkyards are full of said trucks.

 

Damn sorry to here that. You gave him a good last few weeks. RIP Simba.

 

@Sperrunner You making decals now?

 

Looks like our local weather!
