It's getting cod again

[Bavarian]

It's getting cold again and every year, tractor owners seem to struggle to keep their rigs running.
On another forum, I found this interesting video. I hope the link works. Which Diesel Anti-Gel Additive is Best? Let's find out! - YouTube

I thought this was going to be a topic about fishing.

"It's getting cod again" :laughing:

Without the help of my wife, I wouldn't have been able to insert the link. Thanks.

It's just the typo in the thread itself that I can't fix. But you sure know, it's getting COLD.

Winepeg? No doubt you are starting to see it up there. Hopefully you have plenty of wood put in. :thumbsup:

Thank you for sharing the link.

The important part, you made me smile!

We winterized the tractors two weeks ago in preparation for the cold weather.

Never again!!
unch:
I refused to take any more cod liver oil at about age 10.

...but seriously...Jack Frost & Old Man Winter got here fast! .....it was just 74 degrees on Halloween, tomorrow's high will be 29 F and I'll probably need to snow blow my driveway today. .

This subject always reveals a huge spread in the fuel purchased. The farther North you go the more likely you will purchase Diesel that's been treated in some form. That's where the debate starts.

In my area, if you don't treat the Diesel you buy you will find yourself stranded. Been there. Not pretty.

So I've already started treating my fuel using PS white bottle. Very cheap insurance against gelling.

Excellent video!!!

CobyRupert - my God, man - you ARE old. Ten years old is just about the time I convinced my mum - NO MORE cod liver oil. Go to school - had "fish oil" breath. I'm Norwegian - I think it's a Scandinavian thing.


Our cold snap was about three weeks ago - I dropped to +3F one morning. NOW - it rarely gets much above +40F any time - night or day.

It was 4* at 8am today and it is now 7* at ten, our lake was totally frozen over this morning and light snow blowing across the ice, yep old man winter is here along with his cranky old buddy Mr Cold.

Being a Road Grader guy, my concern is the ground temp is getting cold too early. So if we get any moisture it'll likely be snow and it won't melt off easily. Then add the wind.....

This cold with no snow cover is not the best conditions for septic systems either, I did put some straw around my tank but nothing on the drain field yet which I should do.

I prefer cold before we get snow, things really get messy in years when we get snow with no frost. That's when your lawn gets torn up by the plow truck, and it's almost impossible to get around in the woods without making mud.

Pretty cool last night here in Branson, Mo. At least for us. It was very windy and spitting sleet and then turned to snow. Not much accumulation and the overnight temprature was 10 degrees. We are pretty far south, so we get excited by low temps and winter precip. Lots of things were closed last night and this morning.

I was all happy thinking the Newfies had got their Cod stocks back in order.

Our winter confinement was a mess, due to about 10 inches of rain in September and first part of October. Had to move the cattle away. But they usually come to the back of our house once a day for their treats. Now since the mud is frozen, it's extremely difficult for them to walk through there. Need to fill the holes now.

Please don't send your winter our way.

Please don't send your winter our way.

Don't worry, New Hampshire is a bit out of my way. But sure will let you know when I get close.

Please don't send your winter our way.

Careful what you ask for Thomas......
