Good morning!!!!

[LouNY]

Well heck it's sure not morning for me.
I had opened the computer earlier waiting for supper to get warmed up.
It put itself to sleep. Finished supper and went down to the bedroom end of the house,
55F, what the heck should be holding right at 60. I knew I had hot water but opened the cellar door
nope didn't hear the boiler running. Went over to the front half of the house thermostat and bumped it up
and heard the click waited a couple of minutes and checked the copper piping not even warm.
Down to the cellar look at the boiler temp gauge 67F in the boiler, hit the reset and got oil but no fire.
Dang it's already -2F heading for -10F or so.
Flip the master off switch and pull the burner tube, danged nozzle all cruded up with soot and carbon on one side
and one electrode carboned up and the other burnt back quite a bit.
Good thing I keep spares around put in a new nozzle, new electrodes, turned on the power and away she went.
The coal burning insert in the fireplace was keeping the front half of the house at 69-70F we had noticed it was cooler
then we normally keep the kitchen and living room, we like 72-74F but moving around a bit and I was in and out
so hadn't really noticed till after supper.
Time to order 2 new nozzels and a new set of ignitors for the shelf.

2022-01-15,

- 5 degrees right now. Think I'll be staying inside...reasonably warm since wifey is under blankets and I'm wearing a shirt-jac (I guess these are referred to as "shackets" now)
Time for the flannel PJs though, I think...

I don't know what a floating rim is, but the part has six points, and the spaces between alternating pairs of them on each side are closed in with a thin web so that the drivers are somewhat captured.

The rim rides on a splined shaft and floats laterally for alignment.

OK time to measure up and measure those knees. My good knee circumference is 15.5" (bad knee does not count it is still slightly swollen at 17").

Well, my bad one is at 18 3/4", good one is at 17..... I guess the bad one is still bad...
It's been almost a year. I have 130° of flex, but it still swells a bunch by mid day.

Good Day! It took a bit for me to get motivated to do the electric project out of fear of a repeat of yesterday's plumbing fiasco, but it went easy / peasy. Ran a new underground feed GFCI outlet in the yard. Hardest part was digging the trench. All done, energized, and working properly.

WNG, I cheated with the 'tilde' over the n..... on my IPad, it will give "suggestions for words", when I typed piñon.... it showed up that way, so I just hit on the suggested word and... WAA LAA!

High today only hit 42°. That was ok, I was getting warm digging the trench. Then I was able to get the last few strands of Christmas lights taken down. A successful day....

Now to see what trouble I can get into tomorrow .....

Looks like the south and East coast are gonna get hammered with ice and snow. Everyone be carefull!

How long did it take you to get to 130˚ flex. Sorry to hear it still swells. I was a little too active today and my knee is not happy tonight, I just hope there is gain with pain at some point.
