Morning Craig. Yeah house is cold this AM. Natural Gas must not have the same BTU as propane. I don't remember the furnace not keeping up before the switch. Ground hog in a slow cooker somewhere. @Sublime one @memike you guys have Squirrel recipes...any for ground hog?
Take two to three squirrels (depends on how big crock pot is) skin em, remove head, tail and feet. Dump chicken broth in crock pot. Cut critters in half just above hips. Add some garlic onion and pepper. Slow cook in crockpot until meat easily falls off the bone. Then drain crockpot filtering all shot,bone and extraneous material from broth. Debone squirrel by hand being ever diligent looking for small bones. Then you can either reuse strained broth (depends on your palette)or use new chicken broth back into MT crock pot. Add meat and veggies potatoes onions rice beans whatever you like for fixins. A easy win is Zatarans jambalaya mix. Add whatever you like and cook till veggies rice or taters are done to your satisfaction. I make a pot every time I teach Hunters Ed classes.

Yep Nat. gas isn't as good as LP FYI One cubic foot (ft3) of natural gas contains 1,030 BTUs and one cubic foot of propane gas contains 2,516 BTUs, giving propane about twice the energy content of natural gas.

How's the butt casting going?
Been slow but I have one in paint and need to paint the thong on it. First one will be a green thong with maybe a heart tattoo with a Johnny sighed in below the heart.

This explains the jet change. I wonder if an existing furnace can be rejetted for more BTU output. Hate to buy a new furnace..

Morning. Eric I would say yes they can. I remember my dad doing it. Contact the manufacturer on it they are usually made for both gases.

Today it's a field trip for the engineers, they're coming out to Whidbey to look at a few job sites they are designing for. I am escorting them since a couple are in substations. I like it when they get out in the field, then there's better engineering vs. imagineering lol!!!

Big ice storm in Texas. Reminds me of a MAC Tool convention in Dallas years ago. It was 3 days after a ice storm. The city looked like a ghost town. We rented a Cadillac at the airport and did doughnuts in the middle of the interstate. Damn we had a great time.
