Good morning, Kenmbz no sun here only the liquid variety. What was 4 feet on the ground last Friday turned into 2 feet of packed snow yesterday and I had the 1/2 mile of my road plowed to the pavement. Started to snow again this morning with more on the way. Is there such a thing as too much seat time?View attachment 685284
Sodamo, thanks for the postcard comment but I think you have an incredible place after looking at the link. I have never been to HI. and it is on the bucketlist before I ....well you know! The photo is my guest house I built in 1978 and only have friends and family there and never to be rented.
Mostly-gas, Thanks for the welcome. This forum is welcoming compared to the "green one" with it's less than amiable persona, enough said! I plan to stick around and take part and enjoy the camaraderie I have seen here.

Welcome Viking. This is a good place to hang out.

Buppies, guess empty tank is better than broken furnace. But still.

I tried to light mother in laws gas fireplace last time we were there, with no luck. It would light, but barely burn and then go out. Her tank wasn’t empty.
Worked till 7 tonight, home after 8. Late supper.
Got a contractor doing some work for us, I’m getting pretty frustrated with their excuses on why they are behind schedule. Course they don’t think the fact they deleted the directory with all the test scripts had anything to do with it. But they are quick to blame us because of a typo. They forget they are working for us. Today more complaining a script won’t run, but I ran the exact same script with no problem. Humm.

My pellet stove needs cleaned out real soon, but not tonight.
Wunderground is not showing below 20° for next week in my area. Accuweather shows lows in teens next week, nothing lower than what we’ve already seen this winter.
They also removed the snow forecast for this weekend.

Well, the last of pre-op appointments DONE! Had the surgeon's appointment on Monday, all is a go with them....

Cardiologist appt today, BP much higher than usual, he changed meds for that. ECG and bloodwork looks good.

Only conflict is the daily aspirin regimen.... surgeon wants me to stop taking 5 days prior, cardiologist wants me to continue until evening before.... mmmm.... I think I will follow cardiologist advice. He also wants aspirin to begin again the day after surgery.

Some of you guys got hammered with snow, some not so much.... all within a narrow swath, strange storm. We were most fortunate the last couple of days.... spring like weather! We hit 58 degrees yesterday and today.... all the snow is now gone. Now the wind started tonight and will be beating us up for the next 2 days, 35-50 mph and cooler temps back in the low 40's.

Took yesterday's beautiful day to work out in the shop, got all the pieces for the blanket chest done, ready to be assembled/finished. Hopefully tomorrow.

After reading your previous thread talking to pop gadget about the socks,I ordered a pair for my wife for Christmas. She just loves them. You learn the darnedest things here.

LOL.

Got home about an hour ago 27 outside wind blowing at 30mph 500 gallon propane tank empty auto refill my butt they will hear about in morning lots of blankets for sure no hot water either but arrived safe and sound even made it up driveway

Propane supplier came by 9:00 this morning 399.9 gallons on 500 gallon tank house really cold 42 now at 64 slow but sure

Thanks for responses RNG great tip going to check it out

$2.499 per gallon but had 475 credit so not so bad

Gate still broken worm gear warped parts on order

Fireplace is propane no joy there

Glad you got 'er filled up! Being cold is no fun. 42 inside is cold. Hope you don't have an aquarium with a broken heater.

Welcome viking. Beautiful pics. I don't recommend kicking your sheriff. LOL.

Work has been busy. I have an old Bridgeport 2216 vertical CNC mill at work that's giving me trouble. I was running it the other day, and the Z axis locked up and gave a servo alarm. It might have been an oiling problem. I believe I have the oiling problem fixed, but there may be damage to the ballscrew or the linear guides. It's always something. Wasted about 8 hours on it so far. It's really not worth sinking much $$$ into, IMO.

Hope to get son's minibike working this weekend, but might have to buy a new petcock for the gas tank.

RNG, tree price might get real interesting. Being that they're Kalifornia trees. Are they giving out seedlings to plant? You know the old saying, Money don't grow on trees....but it grows on bushes if it's legal to grow it where you are.

You guys are nice to clear off your neighbors' snow.

Prayers for our team, Buppies, BEF, Randy, Ron and son, Rip, Drew, Mostly, and all who are silent in need....and for our country.

And prayers for LS too.

After getting home from the Dr's today, I took advantage of the nice temps to change the oil on the tractor.

Then, as tracking showed, FedEx showed up with a gas valve for our range. It was 14 months old, 2 months out of warranty. Strange that one of the burner valves broke, allowing it to just turn 360° vs. stopping at 'off'. I almost fell off my chair when I saw the price at the first supplier I checked.... $110!
After checking others, I found a supplier in Utah selling the same part # for $22.95 ! I ordered it Sunday night, had it today.... wow!

It took longer to take the top off the range than it took to change out the valve. Wife is happy, I am happy..... we were both nervous about the valve not being turned off properly :shocked: hopefully this is the only problem we have with this range/oven.... it is a fairly pricey LG brand.

Oh, and on the sale / closing of the house..... still didn't happen! Supposedly the title company dragging their feet.... "due to being short staffed due to Covid"..... I am so tired of hearing that excuse! Hopefully now will happen in the next few days.....

Bad news on the septic inspection.... the tank is shot. Well, just half of it.... doesn't matter, have to replace it. Apparently having a water softener created an imbalance of PH .... neutral or slightly acidic water on the inside, alkaline soil on the outside.... took 26 years, but it messed up the concrete bond. The leach field is fine...Whew! Still going to cost $3 grand. I /we were going to attempt to do it ourselves, but materials /permit would cost $2500 for us.... definitely not worth the hassle! That should happen next week, depending on when the permit comes through.

Hope everyone has a good evening/night.... especially Buppies... hope it has warmed up for you today!
