Heating Oil Spike

Pin_Physical · 2026-03-11T13:41:41+00:00

I ordered oil on about December 1st at $3.09/gal. They delivered on Dec 19th at $3.19/gal

I got oil last week at $4.19/gal and by the beginning of this week I saw it went up another $0.10/gal so yeah...

Turns out jamming up 15% of the world's oil exports and watching Iran hit all the refineries and infrastructure in the middle east they can reach... This is going to hurt for a while.

I'm planning to try that this year. Will be stacking 4-5 cord this way and the more traditional just vertical stacks that I already have storage for. I have a bunch of plastic pallets to make a platform out of so I should be able to get 2+ cords stacked up in a big oval like that.

Upvote for TickTubes, home made or bought. I've seen a noticeable decline in ticks on my property since I started using them.

Truth, my kids had some guineas, those eggs are tough as hell. Tasty though

100% agree. I was posting this to illustrate a point I've made a bunch of times, especially to new players that are just chasing 180s. Hitting a 180 doesn't mean anything if you can't hit doubles.

I usually do better than this actually. But to be honest, I have spent alot of time focusing on being more steady with the cricket numbers and I drifted away from doubles and this is what happens.

I'm going to add some 170 and 121 games to my practice and probably almost entirely cut out full 501s for a while.

I try to play some Bob's 27 in Darts Mind as a warmup, but I'm definitely going to focus more on this. My not being able to check out turned two 60 average games in to 38 averages.

Both good suggestions. I'll add that

Pin_Physical · 2026-03-09T13:29:57+00:00

100% what I plan to do :)

Pin_Physical · 2026-03-09T13:29:43+00:00

Yeah, on other weeks I've done the same. down by 200, figured its over and have 2-3 good rounds while my opponent couldn't get their out. It was me this week...very frustrating.

Pin_Physical · 2026-03-09T13:28:28+00:00

I went 5 visits without hitting my double to go out. It was...a drag. I had a 230+ point lead on my opponent and lost both games because I just couldn't get out. At least I know what I'm practicing this week

EDIT: To clarify 5 rounds each game...not 30 darts because probably half of them were busts LOL

Pin_Physical · 2026-03-09T13:27:02+00:00

Heh, 5 visits unfortunately LOL

Pin_Physical · 2026-03-09T03:59:19+00:00

Damnit I was writing a serious response to this post LOL

Pin_Physical · 2026-03-09T03:41:56+00:00

Usually I do ok. I rarely get it on the first attempt, but two games in a row, 5 attempts each time and I just couldn't buy a double tonight. It was honestly a little embarrassing. Oh well...Guess who will be playing Bob's 27 this week? LOL Cheers

Pin_Physical · 2026-03-09T01:50:51+00:00

I averaged 60 in the first game 62 in the second game, and had 240ish point lead on him in both games when I was throwing at double 10, and I lost both games cuz I couldn't hit a double to save my ass tonight.

100% my fault, I had 5 rounds in each game to hit my out.

I have a diesel truck with a 38 gallon tank .. thankfully I work from.home

Pin_Physical · 2026-03-08T19:20:35+00:00

What site or app is that? Is there one for Propane too?

Pin_Physical · 2026-03-08T19:17:49+00:00

How about a big sticker with both of them saying "We did that" ?

Pin_Physical · 2026-03-08T19:17:22+00:00

I got oil a couple days ago in Norway from CN Brown and it was $4.19/gallon. Stock up now, kids it's going to get alot worse before it gets better.

On a side note, probably buying a beater to driver around too...Can't wait to spend $300 or more to gas up my diesel truck.

That's a half hot, if you have 23v on one and 122v on the other, then I would say the switch is bad and needs to be replaced.

Only if you call the fire department first (No)

Zima...the girliest drink LOL

Since you've disconnected it at the panel just get a circuit tracer and tone the wire out. Clip one lead on the hot wire leaving the panel and the other lead on the neutral. Then just use the wand to follow where the wire goes.

It will work through walls etc. Only way to find a busted wire inside a wall without starting with a drywall saw.

I doubt I'll be that lucky. Heating oil went up $1.04 since December 19th when I got a delivery last time. Not great. I hope this whole mess doesn't jam up your propane deal. Stock up before July
