Funny thing about the cold, when the wind went down -20 C seemed pretty mild. Went back in and put on a lighter jacket. The heater calved in our wellhouse as well. Fix was easier than yours though Silver. Power was out during the windy cold for 10 hours as well, reminded me of Gcreek and why I appreciate the powerline hooked up to the farm. The generator independence burns fuel for sure. :!:
No kidding Hay Guy, Solar at one end that is mandated to have a safety shut down when the power from the grid is off (at least if I want to sell power to them) and then enough power to supply half of California going right by with no way to tap in. So the default is burning a bit of diesel fuel supporting that other industry that is rather important to our economy. A plan to go all the way off grid is not ruled out. I want to be like Gcreek when I get big. :wink:
