Coldageddon

[Wulf202]

Are the locals running around in parkas and beanies?

Hoodies and shorts

Its 74 outside right now

So, remote started my truck today and after a couple of minutes it shut off. Weird. Whatever. Got in and started it and left the house and noticed I had a check engine light. Pulled a code P0125 out of it which essentially has something to do with low coolant temperature and the temperature not coming up quick enough. I just chuckled as I cleared the code. I?m guessing it will remedy itself by tomorrow.

It?s still cold outside boys and girls.

Found out today that all our Dept. CDL bucket trucks and attenuator trucks (total of 4) got diesel anti gel treated before the Coldageddon , but the idget tasked with the job, (pronounced ?yob?) didn?t run the vehicles to get the additive distributed throughout the fuel system. Now all 4 are gelled up in the fuel lines, filters and injectors.

Edit, before you ask…. Yes, the trucks were plugged in, and the cords tested before And this morning when the trucks wouldn’t run.

On Thursday morning, I recorded -22 degrees at the house, with -18 degrees at the NOAA weather station upstream a mile.

Fun working the snow thrower and the plow. Squeaky shards of hard dry snow made for minimal slippage.

I took an unplanned snow day Thursday as the wind blew the valley created by clearing last weeks snow drifts, full of drifts.

The poor old tractor sitting out in the cold and wind told me to piss off when I asked it to help. Knew I should have parked it out of the wind but had a case of hub after clearing the storm last week.

UPS guy saved the day when blasted thru the 30' wide 2' deep drift to deliver our new smoker. We had just enough room to get him turned around and up to speed to blast thru the other way. I just had to spend couple hours knocking down the center ridge and good to go.

Was a little worried when he honked his horn and got on the throttle coming down our driveway but snowpacked drift was no match for the 20,000lb beast at 30mph and the frozen piles on each side kept him in the middle and out of the field. The snow cloud was cool and would have made a good pic.

Now that Coldaggedon is over I get to spend several hours clearing the mess we made and make sure to park the tractor where it is supposed to be.

And your next Supervisor will be…..



Or did they re hire Bayo?

Rolling blackouts to conserve power.

If only we had some fuel source that would allow plants to ramp up and generate more power during high usage times...

Yep, wait till there is hundred million vehicles that need to be charged added to the already over taxed system.

Luckily for me I?ll probably be dead before 2040 when Colorado is going to run on 100% renewable energy.
