Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Wait....what????? When did I get transported back to NY?????? It was 18º this morning.

 

Was quite the sight Thursday night as Lori & I finagled getting a couple bags of pellets into the P43. She steadying the top of the bag while I lifted from the bottom with my right. Was able to do a decent cleaning with just one arm.

Gave my self a decent test yesterday as Lori had 4 hours of tests and consultations down at Lahey. Was tired by the time we got home but I didn't get the "whoa I gotta stop for a few minutes to get energy back" like I had been. Actually felt good last night. Of course I-93 rush hour traffic from Boston to NH tends to keep one on their toes.

Lefty has put in appearance at the pantry.

 

Since the deer season ended today here is lefy

 

You tossed part of a set. wich is a no no even to the de clutters.

 

If there is any useful life left in the unwanted toys, donate them. Churches often can find second homes for them.

 

Igniter crapped out on the P68.New one ordered.I got 13 years out of it so I can't complain.But I still will.

 

That's inconvenient during the cold. I bought an igniter as a spare years and years ago. Of course I have no idea where it is right now - although I do have an idea of the general area it should be at. I'm hoping to get many more years out of the ones currently in service though (KOW).

 

Spares, dear boy, spares

 

Ditto, especially on general idea but not knowing exactly where it is.

 

Had my first cardiologist follow up today. Took bandage off, incision is great, checked pacemaker programming, no adjustments needed, no adjustments needed to beta blocker dosage. Still have to be careful on exerting left arm as biggest risk right now is leads pulling loose from heart. Takes 2-3 weeks for scar tissue to form to have lead ends (which literally have threaded screw ends that go into the heart tissue) become really fixed in place. She said "just think of your heart as a slab of beef we're screwing into".

She showed me a live EKG which showed my upper heart chamber is working mostly normal (only needing a pacemaker pulse 7%of the time) but my lower chamber is only getting pulses10% of the time so the pacemaker is adding the other 90% of pulses to keep heart rate normal.

Still having problems sleeping more than 2-3 hours at a time though. Tonight's weather not going to enjoyable for my knees, back and hands either.

My p68 finally fixed after three months of waiting for the repairs. Spent about $850. New wire harness some sort of internal gasket another new igniter (replaced last year and again now) Mice did the damage. When I shut down next spring, I plan to put some prevention in place. It sure is nice to have the stove running again.
