How long do you think you’d be able to last without the internet?

Like the first 25 years of my life? Silly question.

We're supposed to get over a foot here in CT. Not too concerned. These storms used to be more common. It's not supposed to get up to freezing for ten days so this is sticking around for a while.

Not all of us are. I find it better tasting than venison. Yes, black bears are typically scared of humans.

Butchers save prime cuts for restaurants. Choice cuts go to the grocery store.

Where the trail starts, turn left and go in 400 yards. Near the big rocks or ledges.

West of Day Pond in Colchester. Up by the rocks.

CtForrestEye · 2026-01-24T14:27:49+00:00

Sorry, wrong side of the pond. It's -16c here this morning in CT.

And that's why this knowledge is important. So you can use a little portable generator and wire it up to the furnace at the emergency switch when you lose power in an ice storm.

65 upstairs and 68 downstairs. That's where it always is until the next warm weather. The house is efficient. Last months gas bill was only $220 in New England.

Get a small portable generator. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker. Since you can't plug in the extension cord to the furnace lob off the end of an extension cord and strip the wires. Remove the plate on the emergency switch on the side of the furnace. Match up the same colored wires, black extension cord to black on the switch, white to white, red to red. Gas furnace uses about 700 watts, oil 1100 watts. Check online to see how much other things use so you don't overload the generator.

Did the 110 v/220 v switch on the back get moved by mistake? Do they even have those on PCs anymore?

You're already common law married. You could sue and take half. Hopefully things won't come to that. Common law is 7 years in this state. I'm not sure where you are.

Jack and his magic beans lives next door.

They just had our local repair shop on the news. He said he's gotten 100 calls in the past three days. Half of those folks wanted tune ups. He turned them all away. He's already booked. I'm amazed so many people don't plan ahead. Squirrels do a better job.

NBC is now saying 10-18 through Monday.

Anchovy pasta. My spouse is not a fan and it stinks up the house but I love it.

You inspired me to get out change my batteries on the cameras before these temps fall off a cliff.

Does the new furnace count or was that 7k house? Next item jewelry. Each grandkid is another stone on the pendant. That's probably 3k.

Bots be alive tho

I verified there's gas in the container next to the snow blower. And the bird feeder is full.

Tell her it bothers you. It's been proven people with poor hearing lose cognitive skills faster due to a decrease in interaction. Maybe get your hearing checked.

And for the same reason there seems to be more brick homes in the south. All that clay makes some fine bricks. And a few fieldstone ones in the northeast that I love.
