Good Morning!!!! 43F @ 6:30AM.
Sunny. High 52F. Winds light and variable.
Beautiful sunny day yesterday, a bit cool though. By California standards, anyway.

Found a Toyota dealer in Carson City, NV with an AWD Prius and the 50 state emissions option. Maybe they're all like that? The more I think about it, though, the more it makes sense to wait for the '23 models. Nobody's gonna want a '22 once the '23s are available, and there's no reason to get bent over a barrel on a '22 now when I'll get bent over the same barrel for a '23. Also learned I can register a new car purchased out of state as long as it meets California emissions. Now I just have to make sure I don't have to pay Nevada sales tax. I'll have to pay California "Use" tax, same as sales tax, and I don't wanna have to pay twice. Or maybe I can get my local dealer to do a trade or transfer of a Nevada car?

Still no joy on the security gateway, but I have something new to try suggested by someone on the UI support forum.

I did get a ride in on the roller yesterday, and this time it started right up. Ran up and down the driveway, overlapping at least 50%. But there aren't a lot of fines in this roadbase, so it's not really packing as hard as I'd have hoped. Still better than mud, though, and the rains haven't managed to wash any of it off the hill.

The only good thing about this recent inflation is that CD yields are starting to look interesting for the first time in a long while. It sure would be nice to have a crystal ball...

I seem to remember Christmas 2020 was pretty cold locally. I had just gotten home from the Cleveland Clinic Resort & Spa before Christmas, it turned cold after I got home. I was living on the couch, remember how the cold air would hurt my lungs when my wife would go in/out of the house. My first real efforts to do something was crawling (literally) from the couch to woodburner to put some logs on the fire, then crawl back to the couch.

One of the nice feature of Weather Underground is you can look up the history of weather conditions going back several years. It is not available thru the APP that I have found. Looking up your location with a browser. History will show up.

With snow in London yesterday, it was interesting talking to my coworkers there.
While it does snow there, it is kinda rare.
a few flakes can shutdown traffic and transit for the whole city.

Good morning to all! Low of 19° --- brrrrr. Highs this week are now only forecast to hover around 32°. That's the expected high for today. We got off easy... only a couple inches of snow.

Not enough to try out the tamers on the bucket.....

If this snow was down in the big city (Albuquerque), it would shut down! Just a few years ago(actually about 10 years), they only had 6 plow trucks for the whole county. The city got caught in a fast moving storm that dumped 14" of snow in about 6 hours.... the city was shut down for 3-4 days! There are now about 25 plow trucks. Up here in the mountains, they get after the snow quick, but these are the state plows, not the city ones.

Scaredy, hope everything goes well for you. Sounds like you are on top of the situation. Thoughts and prayers sent to you.

Drew, have a nice visit with the MIL. A box of chocolates.... mmmmm

Paul, "PopG to the rescue!" .... very nice that you were able to get the heat working again. I bet your friends were very grateful!

Wifey wants to run a few errands today.... so that's the agenda. Not too many stops --- as long as they have what she's after. Hopefully won't turn into a goose chase......

Pellet stove purring away.... toasty warm. Max is enjoying laying in front of it. Actually me too (but I'm sitting in a chair).....

The extended winter forecast a couple months ago showed a "warmer winter and lower precipitation "..... so I didn't buy as many pellets as previous years. If this pattern continues, we won't have enough. I may pick up another 1/2 pallet just in case......

OK, wifey is giving me that infamous 'stink eye' ---- must be time for me to get moving.....

Everyone have a great day!
