Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

I saw the 805 on email I got from Costco. I went to iRobot site and they don稚 show the 805.

Many times Costco will get a manufacturer to make a special model just for Costco. It could have special features, or just be identical to another model in the lineup. That doesn't appear to be the case with the 805, because Amazon sells it as well. As you mentioned, the 805 doesn't show up at irobot.com. Maybe have to call them tomorrow and see what they say about it.

You can buy the 980 at Bed Bath & Beyond for $720 with the 20% off coupon, I called the store and they accept it. So a $599. Unit would be $480, etc...

Good evening all. 59F this morning , heavy overcast, light wind. High temp was 64F, brief rain, and got windy at times. Went to Chapel this morning, puttered with wife, had planned on replacing router, but we got dog duty this week so that is on hold. Will likely go back to STL on Saturday, younger brother should be cleared to go home but no driver for 2 more weeks at that point.

Don how far did you bicycle? Last year I had a "calcium" test to determine plaque build up. Have you read anything on how well that works?

Billie sorry to hear about your power loss for so long, we got long faces at 6 1/2 with no power here. Wife wants a generator, I drag my feet because we don't lose power much, and it for an 1 hour or 2.

Make sure it comes with the two IR fences and an extra corner brush. Apples to apples and all that, but it does sound like a pretty good deal.

"Note: This item is only available from third-party sellers"
People bought the Costco model and are selling it through Amazon. Sort of like buying the Japanese model of tractor and selling it in the USA. ;-)

29 and light snow right now...high in the upper 30's today.

CT trip has been postponed for a week...I have a presentation to work on today (due tomorrow).

Yes animal brains are one cholesterol jackpot. As a comparison:
1 lg egg 186mg
1 slice of cows liver 309mg
3oz cow brain 2635mg
3oz sheep brain 1737mg

Don, I do appreciate your concern for what we all eat, but you really don't have to worry about me ever eating brains again, not even if they were air fired into crisps.

The "Beast from the East" Siberian winds are gone and I'd hoped the days of solid water troughs was over for a while, though I'd not taken into account that we live in a place that is often a few degrees cooler than forecasters anticipate. Never mind, spring can't be far away, blossom is now full out on blackthorn and threatening to burst into life on wild cherries.

Wng, after a day of living like a caveman, did you start to feel the urge to paint pictures on the walls ? In centuries to come, will someone look up at your ceiling and see the outline of a pickup with a line down one side, being cared for by the great solar healers ?

I also wanted the WiFi connectivity and Cleaning Map function, which lets me see where and when the Roomba cleaned. Here's an example:
View attachment 542587

RNG, is that really the layout of your house, or does the deluxe model draw out a different state map of your country each day ? Maybe their AI is so good, that helps them alleviate the boredom from 4 hours of cleaning. :laughing:

31 here this morning with about an inch of snow on the driveway. Will snow for a few more hours. Will be a fun commute for the wife and I.

Same part number as direct from Roomba so I guess it’s contents are similar.

31 here on the Delmarva, high in the low 50’s. Not going to put the flag back up until after Wednesday storm is gone. Got my debris all cleaned up yesterday and day before. Got all my building shutters painted to match and reinstalled. Put out Easter decorations inside and out. My last Mugga pine died last fall so I need some evergreen in front of the house. I’ll do my spring house wash first.
Hope all are well today, prayers all around.

Good morning all, 28 here now going to 49 and sunny. 50% chance of nasty Tuesday through Wednesday. Discovered Mucinex DM 12 hour and it is working, feel better and slept the best since the 13 of Feb. Hope it helps some of you if you need it. Don't know what I will do today but i feel like thinking about it.

Have a great day. Ed

I feel for you Ed, I had it last year and it took 5 weeks to get back to sleeping and feeling normal.

Good Morning. A warm night now it's cooled off to 69˚.
Mostly I used to go on 50-70 mile rides when preparing for triathlons but that was before my knee surgery and moving up here. The roads out here are a bit dangerous with a lot of vision impaired drivers and narrow lanes. I also could not leave from my house I'd have to drive out of the gravel/mud roads first. I do envy you, it might happen again.
The calcium test is pretty accurate in seeing the plaque that has turned to calcium. It was accurate on me. I did hear of one person that his plaque was not old and calcified and it did not show up. It is the newer plaque that has the tendency to break off and star the heart attack. Health issues are so individualized but yet we all tend to group everybody alike. With all the combination of inherited genes and different things, including diet to turn on and off genes, everybody is truly very different.

If you sell and move you’re going to miss the stumps, coyotes, lost dogs, wildfires...

28 high of 52 today and no wind rain snow sleet tomorrow

Ed hope you are on the mend

30F cloudy low 40's for high.

First day of brand new work week already sure will be glad when the students go on spring break.
Time to have english muffin before heading down to the valley for 8.

Enjoy the day all.

Good morning. Nice sunny, slightly above freezing day here. Just went walking with the dog out in the fields to think about how I'm going to do rotational grazing out there.

The advanced forecast has shifted warmer for us. After yesterday's forecast night time low of 6°F it is not forecast to go below 28°F. This means that the 2 olives and one decorative tree taking refuge in the garage can go outside now. That frees up the 2m^2 of space they were taking of the 25m^2 total.
