    I haven't burned Chows. You think they are better? The FLU brand burns hot and clean for me so I stuck with them.

    Bag number 100 for the season went in the P68 today. Since we're going to have some nice mild weather this weekend, I am planning to take the opportunity to do a mid-season flue cleaning on Sunday. Then starting Mon thru Wed they are predicting 50 - 60 degrees. Love it!

    Sun-Wed Accuweather and Weatherunderground are different forecasts, one says up to 24", the other one says up to 11". No idea what we will actually get, (no local news). should be interesting!

    I'm keeping an eye on some file transfers. The boss and I went to Sanford on a junk store run, she bought a few things while I just looked didn't see anything I couldn't live without so other than having a meal it was a wasted trip, I came back empty handed.

    So I've had the 2004 Explorer for a little over 2 months and last night a lady ran into me 3 blocks from my house, as I was sitting in line waiting at a stop light:mad:. Had to tow her car, mine doesn't seem to have any damage. She managed to bury her front corner bumper in between my front tire and the body so she had to jockey back and forth to get unwedged. I'm just worried there might be unseen front end damage (tie rod ends or things of that sort). They put in a new steering rack when they sold it to me, so hope that is okay. At the very least will need an alignment again. Will have to have it checked out sometime next week. That means missing a day of work (I'm salary so no problem with pay), but I have been putting in 12 hour days and it was to continue next week, so is definitely bad timing.

    Well, for the last 3 years my luck has been down the tubes, so I can kind of look at this a good luck since at least my truck is still drivable anyway. Things are looking up if I look at it that way :).
