I put a 12 oz bottle of Power Service White in with every fill up. . As long as your using #1 it burns good. #2 turns into a solid at 40 below. I have a trickle charger on my batteries. Frost plug 600 watt heaters on each side of the block. 200 watt pad on the oil pan. And a pad I put on the...

Starting diesels that haven't been plugged in is an easy way to get rid of thousands of dollars. .We pay 37¢ a kilowatt. My 1 ton Ford pulled 1800 watts when plugged in and that was cheap compared to a new engine. One thing some may not know is transmissions are affected by the cold also...

Not fully daylight yet. Sickle moon sliding sideways in the sky. It warmed up this morning. +22°f this morning. Makes for Slick highways. And I need to figure out what to wear to the woods today.

The dolldrums of summer had me down. But winter, now that's Alaska time !!!!!! I didn't get hardly any tree work this summer so didn't have much to report. Things are starting to get busy here now Have had to snow blow the drive 3 times since the 3rd and will have to again in the morning...

Its pouring in Glennallen. Around +40°f.

There are a bunch of the weather changing installations scattered around. The HAARP is the one close to me. But. Since nothing happens in a vacume ie of and by itself, if they change the weather up here what does that do to the weather somewhere else. How come Al Gore and the U.N...

I guess I take a jaundiced eye toward global warming/ climate change. . There used to be a forest of palm trees on the north slope. We had mastadons running around. They dn't eat lichen and willow brush. And then we have the HAARP. Why doesn't anyone blame them for all these climate...
