They are mailing physical checks instead of direct deposit?

No, because winter tires usually save your ass when somebody with all-seasons blow a stop sign because they can't stop or they start sliding, my winter tires on my forester saved me at least 3 times cause someone else was outta control and I could stop on time.

Honestly, I'd rather just see them put in a divider so that left-hand turns aren't even an option, except for maybe a couple designated spots.

We had an $850 check for the budget surplus last year, and this is relief checks for energy costs that took a few months to pass.

I bring mine in when it is going to be below zero overnight, but I have one moron that likes to roost on it's own outside the coop. To keep her alive they get a spa day....

No they will just donate it to LePage even though they will still technically cash it. 😂

You should take them inside if there's not too many. Just for fun.

If you have a hot air furnace, ok. If you have a hydronic (baseboard hot water) system, no bueno.

I love the O’s, and they’ve certainly inspired more tears than cheers for a good while. 2014 was good though!

Again im not saying that we dont have no types, every state does. Its an odd focus at the moment because what is being built is $1800 rents. Im against people who dont want change for real affordable, hopefully public housing.

The oil should have thermal mass to keep on keeping on. It's only going to be super-cold for a day. If you want you can buy diesel anti-gel at an auto parts store and pour it down your fill pipe. I'm not sure how well it would mix, though, unless you maybe pour five gallons of diesel or kerosene after it.

Yup. Some people will put that foam stuff on all the heat piping in the basement to "save energy" but I would only do that near walls or drafts. That piping leaks a little heat to keep the basement somewhat tepid, which is good in the upcoming scenario.

Thats what I did with the first big check. Then I lost it in a boating accident shortly after.

Be sure to check on them as their water might freeze. We also use a heat lamp to make sure they are okay.

If your thermostat is pre-programmed for a ten-degree drop that pause in the action is when your pipes will freeze. OP suggests to use the "HOLD" feature to prevent this.

Or you could play chicken bingo all night long. You might need a lot of newspapers tho.
