Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Me either...But I would be willing to smack him with a baseball bat!!

 

The moat monsters would get you first.

 

Yes you!

 

Weather update changed to 10"-14" of wet
Not gonna be pretty in the morning

 

We had that last week! We had 1/2 inch of xxxx this morning and it's been freezing rain ,followed by rain, followed by freezing rain....etc. I hope the sump pumps stay up to the challenge!

 

I have a built in stat.

They used to call it goose bumps.

When they appear, I lite the stove.

When sweat appears I turn it off

 

Yup, the igniters will lite shells fine.

My igniter never fails to work "BLOW TORCH"

 

You miscreants never stop do you?

 

the only thing i need to do to the 52I is in shoulder season (which has been most of the winter it seems) the stove will shut down and let the house cool from 70 -72 to 64.

if i want to start it, i take a bag of ice cubes from the freezer and apply it to the sensor, strategically placed to 'see' the solar gain during the day. that way i do not have to touch the temp dial and disrupt my 70 -72 upper end.

 

Bout the same here .

 

I have had basically the same exact washer as that for 1 1/2 yrs., and have "0" issues. Clothes are just as clean as previous "old style" washer, and I wash almost everything w/ cold water. I don't attempt large, bulky items like queen comforters & blankets....they go right to the industrial washers at the local laundromat.

 

temp outside just went above freezing and will continue to rise.
then 1/2 t0 3/4 inch of rain tomorrow and near 50 degrees.
i am pleased since we have a couple inches of snow to get rid of before it freezes again.
self clearing drive this time.

 

Wow you must be getting the squall line as seen on the radar right now, 8:53PM It starts south of Washington DC and comes almost all the way up here in upper New York. We have the flash and bang thing going on with heavy rain. Sat TV is out every few minutes.

 

5:30 am here, heavy rain, severe lightning and thunder, high winds, (55-60 mph gusts) ..........

 

I got home last night and shoveled the snow and rain off the driveway - except for the pile of snow that dumped off the roof (barrier to water getting into the garage). Woke up at 2 AM to heavy thunder. Got up at 3:30 and opened the back door for the cat to go out, expecting 40-50 like the weather guessers said. Nope, 30* and slick. Pile of snow on the driveway was undiminished. First 7 miles this morning was slow because of ice and slush (at both the bottom and top of the "hill" - 600 ft difference).

About 15 miles from work, I finally hit warm air - I could tell because I had to turn the heater in the truck off. Not betting on the warm air hitting my place today. That's okay, my back yard is flooded and I have water coming up thru the cracks in the basement floor (not the foundation - the floor itself), so don't need more water until the ground thaws a bit.
