    My Sunday test fire didn't go as planned. Got the 3 lite blinky after the ignition stage. Pulled the low limit and it had some carbon. Cleaned and reinstalled. No luck. Spent Monday and Tuesday looking for a low limit locally. Nobody had an EC-001 in stock. But found a smaller 120ºF snap disc from another brand. Had to fab an adapter, But she workie now. Got an OEM on order and will keep this as back up.

    Stove fired for the first time on stat this morning. Momma was happy and so were the kitties that love the heat coming up the vents. Each one was in their preferred spots. Only left for morning chow and treats. By the time I was ready to head of to work. They were all happily enjoying the heat. The 2 little boys were looking at me and the wifey like where'd everybody go? :D

    No time for pic's as I was running late as usual!! :( I snap some later. :ithappened:

    As of now there's nothing good for pellets or prices around me. Might be burning mostly propane this year, unless something changes. Propane lock in price is slightly more than last year 1.49 gal.

    I'd be going w/ the Chow if prices are same or similar. Not a fan of GS at all.

    I fully agree with that. Falling sucks. Landing sucks even more. Then there is the pain, the bruising, and the embarrassment.

    Just lit the stove today. Had to clean it which has presented a problem for. Now that I can breath a little better, I'm trying to move and get a few things done. put a fine particle bag in the shop vac with the other filter. I still got a hazard warning from the air sensor on the air cleaner. Went back to normal as soon as I stopped the cleaning. I wore a N95 mask while cleaning. I'm getting a couple tons delivered next Thursday from our friend up in Jay. He has a son who seems to be running things now. Very nice young man. They have some better delivery equipment now.

    I am happy as heck that what we have had falling since yesterday is of clear color and liquid in nature!

    After being in drought since June, with a lot of the state, including my area, at the Severe stage, I got 1.75" of rain earlier in the week at a nice slow rate so there wasn't any runoff or ponding. This latest system also started off slow so the ground has been prepared to soak in the rain. Since 10am yesterday, I have gotten 2.5" of rain and still going. :singingintherain:. At being 12-15" behind, this just puts a dent in what is needed, but it is a start.
