Yeah, I have lived and paid taxes in PA, NJ, and IL. Maine has been the lightest tax state I've ever lived in as an adult, and that's before you consider property. To put that in perspective, my folks in NJ pay monthly for 0.5 acres what I pay annually for 14.

Watch out for frostbite on their combs, and if they get it, treat the area with antibiotic ointment. Chickens are pretty hardy, but nonetheless I have a heat lamp on a timer that I run on the coldest nights for them. They seem to appreciate it. During last year's cold snap I checked on them frequently and they did fine. I do feed them extra high protein snacks and meat scraps during times like this because it takes calories to stay warm!

I'd ride the heck out of it.

EMMC is on par for that as well, and shift difs are a % not a flate rate.

The $900 I just paid to fill my tank to the brim this year hurt a smidgen less when I saw my receipt from March. Same amount of money, for half the oil.
