    Well the heater is currently sitting on my workbench....defeated. I was able to get them out and I don't think I jacked it up. I'll still pressurized it with air and hit the throat of the connections with some Windex to look for leaks before I re-install it.

    schlot , I save the DEW until I get to work. Then it's dew time.

    I got my boat out of storage tonight. See, there's just enough room in front of the wood stack.

    The stack is still getting moved to the wood shed once the shed exists.

    Sounds like it's headed north. My parents up on the northwoods of Wisconsin have a tornado warning.

    Fiskars pruning shears are not meant to be wire cutters. Just so you know. :headbang::headbang:

    Yeah, a tornado touched down not too far from them, less than 20 miles away, but luckily it stayed away from them.

    That's always good. I've been watching some of it on radar.

    We did have golf ball sized hail last night in my city/ town.

    Luckily there was nothing bigger than rock salt size.

    Did you catch any of those storms yesterday evening or did they skirt past you?

    Cobble together some sort of drag. Once the plugs crumble easily in your hand, head out and drag the chit out the lawn to break up the plugs. Then all you have left is the thatch and small pieces of grass plants. They will blow away (naturally or with human intervention) or hit them with the mower to make them disappear.

    Gorgeous morning here as well. We are slated for a week of warm sunny weather. I will take anything as long as it isn't rainy for awhile. Heading out on our walk.

    Always. Not too long ago I stayed in bed till 6:30 and 99 congratulated me! That's not like you, she said!

    Are you sure you still want me to stop by?.....it may be kinda early! :wacky:

    There are a couple restaurants around here that let guys like me in for coffee way before they open. That's what I did before FHC!:yes:

    Dude! Those stacks just get more nuts to me when I see them. All in perspective now. Holy moly. Photos don't do it justice I bet. Ive run into photos where The pile was much larger than perceived so Im always err on the side of caution when picking up. You got it made when those logs were dropped off.

    I've about had it. Another 24"-36" incoming by Friday. Just hope it doesn't get cold.
