Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

At home is pretty much guaranteed to by hydro if it's from the mains. But, I just rely on solar and wind. They work without failing.

If my power is out more than 7 days, I have a giant diesel generator that will power my entire house just fine. It shares a tank with my furnace that burns fuel oil (kerosene) - which burns just fine in my generator. It's a giant 5000 gallon in-ground tank. I had to get a special permit for it.

5000 gallons? That is a huge fucking tank. Back when I was married and we lived on the shore of the bay in a rural area we had a home that the furnace ran on fuel oil and the tank in the basement was only 500 gallons.

It's a giant tank that's in-ground, wrapped in concrete and some rubber membrane, and shit like that. It had to get a permit and be inspected.

After all, if I have a rough winter how is the giant fucking truck full of flammable fucking liquid going to get to my house?

Which is pretty much what I wrote on my permit application.

It must have worked! You will probably have to replace the tank due to corrosion at some point I would imagine. I don't know how long they last. Though the tank in the basement of that house I used to live in was probably installed when they built the house, It would never fit through the door and down the steps
