Well, I didn't make it to October first like I had hoped.....turning on the heat that is 
It SNOWED Saturday!! And the worst part of that is that it STAYED! 
It has been snowing on and off for the past couple of days, and I finally had to bite the bullet and turn on the heat Monday. I was really hoping to push it to the 1st, but no such luck. I am dreading the 8th when the fuel company comes and tops up my fuel tank. It hasn't been filled since late March, so I figure at least 500 gallons worth this time, at least 
... damn oil companies! 
I live less that 20 miles from the refinery, and my home heating oil cost is about $5 a gallon. That hurts a lot worse than the $4.20 at the gas pump.... How is it for the rest of you out there?
On a positive note...the more snow ground cover we get, the less likely January will be brutal temp wise...and the less likely I will have water pipes break... I'd settle for 4-5 feet of the stuff

Don't Know the per gallon, but our Oil Dealer quoted $6,000.-
for a season's pre-buy. Switching to a Pellet Furnace,
the Big drag is we HAVE to keep the Oil monster by state law!!!
I wonder what Lobby got that through
For us in Maine gas-$3.50ish Diesel-$3.94 Heatinoil-$3.45ish
What did Palin do that you have to pay that much next door to
the refinery?
trick hunting.
The Tudor's were an interesting bunch. Back in '92 swaped houses with
a familey from Yorkshire. On evening in the local Pub got to talking with
the "natives". The way they carried on one would have though
Richard III had just been overthrown. I find the effort to make him
less of a monster than as Shakespeare has him, refrshing.
But then there are several Historic Lost Causes I think got the
short end of historys stick by the victors justifying what they did.
I've yet to buy Black Adder but then the local PBS airs it quite
frequently.
