Gonna Be Chilly Tonight

[snubbyfan]

I just ran out of fuel oil for my heater. Apparently, they forgot to fill my tank.
I called the fuel oil people emergency line and they said that they'll be out bright and early tomorrow morning to fill my tank.
Then the fun, getting the ancient oil furnace started begins.

Bundle up, don't want to hear a story out of Paw Paw about a Snubcicle.

Stay warm, Snubby. Get your down sleeping bag out of the closet.

Chipotle. At least part of you will be burning.

Do you have any wool blankets?

A few years back we had a terrible furnace that was always breaking down. I bought 3 electric heaters. They would keep the house warm.

Back up wood stoves can be the best when stuff like this happens.

My oil heater was installed in the house in 1960. I've replaced the blower motor twice and the burner motor once.
It can be temperamental at times.

I have a back up propane fireplace a space heater and a kerosene heater.
The space heater was enough to keep me warm enough last night.

Because man who cut own wood for fire warm himself twice.

Dogs and cats that sleep on the bed can help. We usually turn off the heat at night because the two of us and two dogs keep the bedroom warm. The bedroom is upstairs so heat rises/stays.

I know the feeling! We had nights in the valley this past summer when the temp did not go below 90 degrees. Had to use a blanket to feel comfy with the A/C working overtime. Bummer.

Depending on what type fuel you are using 10 gallons of kerosene or diesel supreme from the gas station could have got you back up and running. The boiler at my parents house ran on diesel supreme.

We have a little portable oil filled, radiator looking electric heater that we plug into our bathroom in the winter time. We like to sleep with the room temperature pretty cool but my wife likes the master bathroom to be nearly 80° in the morning when it's cold. The little heater works great and doesn't make any noise since it doesn't have a fan on it. The bathroom is actually too warm. I can barely breathe when I go in there in the morning.

Neither could I when my tail touched the icy sitter seat.

Wayne, we hadn't heard...did the fuel oil guy show up the next morning when he said he would or is it one of those "I'll be there the next day...give or take a day or two."?

Here's hoping you are sitting in a warm home as I type this.

Yup, toasty warm here now.
Not only did he show up when he said but stayed until I fired up the ancient furnace to make sure it started okay.
