    Crazy weather for sure , but when you live there you kinda get used to the extremes you know how to deal with it

    Some places require you to go with Medicare if you are of the age. Actually, I thought the government requires that you sign up for Medicare when you are 65, but maybe that is just rumor .

    Moved a ton of pellets from my stash in the yard into the basement. Load 1/2 ton into truck, drive to garage door, carry the bags to 40' away. Rinse, lather, repeat.

    Hoping to move 4 tons of pellets but mu body is none too pleased with all the physical labor it has been thru since Friday evening. I'm not really sore, just mu muscles are tired. But I gotta get a bunch moved since I wrapped all 6 tons at once, so now they are all exposed except for the wrapping they were delivered with 14 months ago. I am happy to report that my method of storing them outside resulted in dryness - not even condensation to deal with :thumbs: (so far anyway).

    Man that would have been a frozen daiquiri day for me years ago.
    The only problem was the instructions on the container said fill with rum or tequila to "this" level. THAT level was usually too low :whistle:

    Right now, you can make up to $16,920/yr and not get whacked with the 2 for 1 hit. I work 26-27 hrs/wk, and will be just under that.

    Well, if I didn't have a reason to hurry up and move the pellets, I would chill a little more today! I had originally planned on moving some Friday night, more on Saturday and the rest today so I didn't over-do things. But we all know how that turned out, don't we :doh:?

    3 tons are now inside. Took a break between each ton and now it looks like pop-up showers are moving in so covered the 3 tons left outside with the tarp, will take a short break then go get groceries. Hopefully by the time I get back any threatening clouds will have moved on.
