Told you it would work... ;-)
And on another note, I commented a bit ago about venturing to the basement to visually check the ‘you’ve-got-this-much-oil-left’ gauge on the tank for storing #2...
I did so and verified that the remaining volume of contents was as I expected - low. In an attempt to postpone an unwanted cooling period on the interior of Ye Olde Farm House (of course caused by glowbull warming - the Science Is Settled) I called the purveyor of refined petroleum product commonly known as #2 fuel-oil to arrange for a delivery.
They said the earliest they could get here is Monday...
I still have some wiggle-room because the float is not bottomed out. Historically I have a few days left even after it bottoms out, but the gauge is only partially accurate. Sort of like the weather people who are semi-Accurate so I really don’t know how long it will last. (If necessary I do have my 10 gallon emergency stash of #2 ‘off road diesel’ standing by. The furnace won’t care that it will be drinking the same stuff that the farmer next door feeds his not-so-old-Deere and my Olde Deere won’t care ‘cause it drinks gasoline. That will buy me about a day’s worth of heat with these temperatures.)
