Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . 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.

I am pretty sure I am using nuclear energy. There's a nuclear power plant about 50 miles away and they tore down the old coal burning power plant much closer to me last summer. I don't think there is any other power generation in my area besides windmills. So I am either on the nukes or the wind

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.
