Crazy! Try to stay warm today Meg. Thanks for the puppy compliment!

Yeah, very weird! The bushing for the pellet stove auger is in stock in town and the plumbers are still dinkin' around with the boiler. Doesn't sound like anything catastrophic, though. Have a great day, IM!

We ran out of propane last night cooking dinner so headed to town

Good morning, all! A balmy 2° this morning. Apparently it was a good time for the pellet stove to break. Woke up and it was 59°. So I get to work and I'm wondering why it's so cold...the boiler is out and it's 59° What are the odds?? Funny how if it was that temp outside it'd be so nice, but not when it's inside!

Is the stove fixable?

I don't know who it was that kicked this discussion off, but I've seen a few adults having problems with erm, lets say self expression to be kind.
I don't mind really how rough it gets, but I have problems with stupid.

I Can't fix stupid Shad I agree.. Meg like to sleep at 59 even 55 but not getting out bed then

I think a lot of people are lonely and have no one to talk to. Doctors don't want to take the time to really listen to our struggles.

I think a lot of people are lonely. The thing to do in that case is to meet other people, not join a chicken forum.
I think a lot of people have lost contact with the reality of what is and what isn't a hard life.
I read some stuff on BYC where people are fairly constantly complaining about their lot in life and when more detail emerges my empathy wanes.

Yep, it is. There is a brass bushing that the auger rests in that allows it to rotate easily and it was broken in half. Should be able to put the new one in and be good to go. Glad that they had one in town and didn't have to order it. Although, after a bit of research, the brass ones are prone to failure and should be upgraded to a nylatron bushing. This one has lasted many years, so we'll probably replace the stove before we have to worry about another failure.

Brr, lady. I have found that I do prefer it a little cooler, maybe between 66-68, but it's hard to get out of bed in the morning when it's too cold! At least for me
