What are you doing right now??

[NMEDGE]

Just finished my nuclear dinner, and now sipping an IPA. It's only 6:30PM CST and I am nearly ready for bed. How pathetic is that? Might have something to do with the fact that I felt like a shot of tequila once I had a look at the increase in my natural gas bill.... It has gone up from $65.81 to $131.00 in the span of a month. I just love those kicks in the gut after a 10 hour shift and a 45 minute commute.
Ah well, it's only money. I can't take it with me to the other side so I might as well pay to live. Here's to another day above the dirt!

Did you increase your use? Check your bill if it shows you did but know you didn't you just might have a leak in your service line from the meter to your house. Its not even winter yet!

Will be getting ready to watch Thursday Night Football

No. We have gas heat, stove and oven. We work and aren't home a lot. Our heat is kept to between 68 and 70 degrees in cold months. I am on a budget plan so I am sure the price spiked and they want to make sure they're covered. My husband holds a gas ticket, and he is very aware of our usage.

 

[NMEDGE]

On the budget plan here for gas I pay $28 a month, water heater, furnace and stove. In winter I keep house at 72. For electric bill it's $104 per month and I also keep house at 72 degrees. It has been a very hot summer here. I'm also on budget plan for electric.

They have to pay for all Bassbob's overtime.



NG prices have went down actually. Sounds like something else is going on to me. Are your neighbors gas bills doubling ?

Not sure. I’ll ask them this weekend. I’m going to make a phone call because the statement makes no sense.

Did you recently get a new meter ? I'm guessing there is some sort of error.

I keep upstairs at 76
Down at 74
Water only Tues / Friday
100+ degrees and a 2 story house = big bills
Market prices dont help

I wish it was that simple but no. The husband gets home tonight. We'll figure it out.

[NMEDGE]

Just had breakfast and a cup. Last day of 90 degrees then into the 80's. Might even wash the Buick today.

 

[javbike]

Having my first cup I am going to wash the old bronco on Sunday thinking about going to workout or the wife and I take a long walk with Lola girl she probably like that . Saturday morning we will take a drive to the coast

 

[belladonna]

Lunch. Shift ends at 2. Gotta go make an appointment at the dealership for an oil change and tire rotation, then home.

 

[youngolddude]

Ran the swamp cooler last night instead of bedroom ac, got pretty dang chilly. Maybe fall is here now. Set steel for the match tomorrow. I loaded about 400 .45 Colt rounds before leaving. Got horse racing on TV, a nap sounds pretty good about now.

 

[wolfpack076]

Watching my favorite action movie First Blood. It never gets old...

 

[KillerFord1977]

Well, came home to the overflow drain for the AC leaking onto the side yard

Went to attic. Pan is 1/2 full. Line is plugged.

Break out the plumbing snake and some vinegar. Pop the drain access cap at the drip pan and jam down the snake. Pour in some vinegar and it backs up . Damn . Plumbing Bore snake again for about 2’ and the vinegar gurgles away and drains. Couple more pours and drain is clear. clog was in the first P trap at about 2’.
Shop vac out the pan and all is dry and clear and draining. Thank god.
100 degrees today and Monday would have been the time texh would prob make it out. Saved some $$ and kept ac working.
Some days you win . Today was that day

 

[SL66]

Getting ready for the range in the morning. My neighbor just bought his first handgun and asked if he could tag along tomorrow. He bought a Canik METE SPX.
I will bring my 320 RXP to keep in the 9mm spirit of things. I will also bring my TRP FULL RAIL OPERATOR. If he shoots the TRP he may regret that 9.
