For some reason this popped up in my instant grams. I don't know why but figured yall would enjoy it

She is mixed, her mom is a mixed Flemish Giant and New Zealand Red, her dad is pure Rex. I bred her to a pure Rex so statistically half the kits should have Rex fur and half should have normal fur. They will grow a decent amount of fur within a week, eyes should open after day 10 or so. I'm excited to see how they grow.

Nice!
Will you be selling these or keeping them?

Well the ERCOT story is all over the 'Net, from Bloomberg news it's a major failure of planning to put it mildly.

So, I am having to admit a critical error in preping for the winter weather... Diesel anti-gel additives for the vehicles

I have not needed any since 2008/09 winter. Even in 2011 & 2013 mearly using the trucks block heater was enough.

Well, we will be trying to get the Jetta started in about an 30 minutes... And then the truck after that...

FWIW diesel really starts to gel up once it crosses the ~17.5°F line.

The trucks tank is 36-odd gallons and was nearly full when parked.
That's likely a brick after the -5° night time low.... Even though it's now 18°F ...
Oops power just blacked out again...
The Jettas tank is much smaller and was only 1/2 full when we parked last night. This is gonna be interesting, for sure.

So far so good. From afar it looks like the ones I can see walking around aren't dead

Hey @Kiki
How you guys holding up?

Nothing yet.
My little brother just got power back. He is thrilled.

The generator is outside and there is one extension cord running from it in to my bedroom window.
I have a thick towel covering the small crack in the window. Now I'm worried I'm getting carbon whatever poisoned.

You'll be fine. The problem comes when people put them in enclosed areas. I wouldn't worry about it unless it was right under your window with no air movement and the window open.
Rule of thumb is 20feet from an open window. That being very very conservative
I'm about to buy my transfer switch and cord now before hurricane season so I can run my home and not worry about extension cords anymore. Thats my weak spot right now everything else I'm pretty much good with

Glad it's working out. I figured you had it covered but when I'm cold I miss things.

When that happens here, replacing the fuel filter is usually a requirement.
