The car is never in the garage as it is on the small side 14x22...
Would be an easy primary/secondary loop to the Cold start oil burner...
Easy coal bin outside where the future shed addition to the garage will go...
Then just swap the oil and coal locations...
Short payback on the AA-130 just on the DHW alone, 40 gallons of oil per month and $2.99/gal...
Figuring that oil will go to $3.75-$4.50 a gallon within 2 years...
Once in the basement it will save on the dehumidifier expense...
Warm floors will be nice, warm garage will be nice too...
The 503 will stay but just needs to idle...
Now to find a place to stick 24 tons of Pea coal...
LOL...

Well the scallops did not last long...
2lbs of scallops, 500* pan, splash of grapeseed oil, stick of butter and 2 lemons...
3 minutes in the pan, butter and lemon in the last minute...
2 rounds so they have room in the pan...
Golden little nuggets that just disappear...
Only one of the kids has a taste for them...

Yep one of the 5 recovered AA boilers...
Seemed like the best way to get one back to 'The Cape'...
Have friends along the route to do a layover at...
Will fit in the Sienna and not be overloaded...
Fully enclosed so no weather issues to contend with...
Known pickup with no hidden obstacles to hinder removal...

7 hours seems to be the magic distance for a good coal burner...
The first 503 was in Watkins Glen, NY seven hours each way...
The second 503 was only 1.5 hours away but came on a tip from 2 hours away...
Seven hours round trip...
The AA-130 is 7 hours each way...
Hmmmm...
Lucky 7 has a nice ring as a name for her...
