Just turned on the propane fireplace in the living room, (on pilot), so I won't have to screw with it if the power goes out during the event.

(We have three of them, only one of which we use, and I leave all of them completely shut off during the year until the first winter storm threatens to knock out power. That's when having a 500 gallon in-ground propane tank shines.)

You win. Now I'm wondering if I should be glad that my trip to MB was cancelled.

Down to -26ºF now. We've had about a dozen electrical outages this morning.

Getting warmer now; the Wind River's warm water is still steaming in the background.

Had to break out my heated jacket today.

Those of you on a well pump without a generator, (like us), remember to fill a tub with water so you can flush once the tanks can no longer fill from the pump.

If you have a well, I strongly recommend getting a small 120-240 generator just to keep your well, some lights and a refrigerator running. I got a little 3,000 watt generator years ago and I've used it many times for that during power outages

Pretty quiet and only uses a third of a gallon of gas an hour


Had it for years without any trouble. I put synthetic oil in it after the break-in. And have given it zero maintenance since. I'm wanting to say was two or three hundred bucks. Off brand generator. Always starts on the first pull. It's good peace of mind when the lights go out.

I just don't want to be bothered. Eventually I'll go whole house propane when I feel like dropping that much coin.

Oh and don't forget to let a faucet drip in the furthest location of the house away from where the water supply comes in. Frozen well pump is never fun.

These DEK3 in high hardness Magnacut are going to be so dope.

These are going to be hard and thin. Such a good alloy for the application and such a good knife for this alloy.

Damnit, I just put an edge on some Magnacut and am wishing that I went with it for my DEK3 preorder.

F*** why... why... why did I freeze on the pre order for these

Sometimes we need to acknowledge our mistakes... punch ourselves in the balls and swear we won't do it again

I’d post up that my DEK3 preorder included Magnacut, a satin finish and wood scales but I don’t want yoko to punch himself in the gonads again
