No luck I’m frozen solid and will admit defeat I’m spent heck with it.

Supposed to get in the mid 30s tomorrow and next chance of snow is Friday-Sunday hopefully I can get the majority of the water out tomorrow. After hours of freezing my self I went from a random drip to a more fast paced steady drip! I used to love winter but I’ll take Mid/late fall now.

Sucks man. Gonna be a long winter I know it.

Me too.
The old man gets tired of replacing them for me. I keep telling him to buy the cheap ones cuz I'm going to ruin them anyway.
Oh no. He buys the 15 dollar ones so I gotta hear the b*tch*n when i Iet them explode.

Years ago the $15 would last a little longer. Not anymore. I had one bust in less than 3 days. Shitty cast aluminum and junk washers on the inside. I know water freezing in there expands everything and destroys it but I had one break when it barely got to 32. . 15 degrees I accept it. Right at the freezing mark and the Chinese need to rework the product. Lol
Then again here I am buying them over and over so maybe they’re smarter than me.

Also found out southern states went out of business so had to get straw elsewhere.

That’s where you were getting feed too isn’t it?

Maybe if I am extra good santa will put new nozzles in my stocking.
Right next to my annual can of de-icer for my windshield.

Well one thought is to move the heater closer to the barrel and not have 20+ ft of exposed line. Another is insulate the fuel system. The issue all started at the filter then snow balled from there hopefully it gets warm enough today to unthaw and I can get the majority out of the system.

Yeah seems Walmart and tsc have run most the little man on out. The birds will eat something and food surely don’t make the bird gotta do what ya can I guess.
