OT: BRRRRRRRRR!!!~!

LOL – BG… that was the first thing I did when I bought my old (circa 1910) twin house in Glenside, PA… I forgot to turn the heater off when I left for work a few times and was astonished at how fast the oil went. (Oil burner furnace.)

That $50 setback thermostat saved me a few hundred dollars in heating oil each season!

Lol, UCGal! $53.25 w/tax! It’s all programmed and kinda glows green if you push an arrow. Easy to read for folks with bad eyesight! Can’t wait to see how it does tonight! It’s supposed to “learn” how long your heating system takes for the furnace to start then start that much time before. I noticed my yellow wire was unused so taped it off. (I have ducting for A/C but no A/C) cuz I don’t really need it.

Now I have this huge rectangle thing I have to “properly dispose of” because it has mercury in it :=]

Does this Fall seem colder than usual to everyone? It does to me, although I don’t know if that is actually the case. I know we had an unusually cool summer this year, and this may just be a continuation of that weather pattern.

kpbs had a story the other day about la nina. el nino and la nina technically have to do with ocean temperatures in various regions… and apparently we’re in a la nina. This translates to colder, wetter winter, and dryer spring/summer in 2011. Potential for fire issues. At least that’s what I think I remember hearing.
