Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Yup...I got one that does the same thing

 

If you didn't wheeze count yourself young.

 

guess I'm a spring chicken

 

Ya,cat did not stay out long,lol

 

I have a fleece lined shirt that is worn inside so I can go up and down the stairs without wheezing.

 

Fleece used to mean wool,but seems to now mean even synthetics.But,how does that help breathing?Crap,cat wants out again,let him out,shut curtain in front of door,gonna let him out there a while.

 

It keeps the lungs warm. I haven't tested it but I don't think it is fake.

 

AH.keeping upper body warm,always a good thing.

 

Cuts down on the wheeze factor, I also have several jackets that keep things toasty.

 

Cats can keep you busy.

 

My cat is a best bud,just annoying at times.He has me well trained,but,sometimes,like now,I can put him in his place!

 

Weather has sucked - ended up back under the house most of Wednesday replacing the well pump pressure switch, gauge, and supply pipe side run off the tank tee to the main house run.

I should've just replaced the switch and gauge when I did the tank - trying to save a few ($35) bucks created another full day's worth of work. Got 4 days out of the old pressure switch, transferred onto the new tank before it started acting up.

Playing w/ water and being hunched over in the half basement / half crawlspace @ 38F all afternoon just sucks the heat out of you.. Still feeling it today.

Got smart on the supply leg rebuild though: SharkBite fittings, some 3/4" copper pipe, some 1/2" CPVC pipe, a tape measure, and 20 mins. later.. done. Usually torch & solder, but with the weather & roads being so lousy here, really wasn't jazzed at all about using a torch in that area - this time around. Would've been warmer though.

Have a great evening all, stay warm.

 

Ya,sharkbite fittings are pretty high quality.Have dealt with 3 different types of plastic pipe stuff,houses and rv's,sharkbite is good.

 

AH,life gets better.Had to go outside.Contractor called me,wants to hang an old chairlift,from the old skislope chairlift up on the wall of the rich peoples house,that are coming in sunday He wants to do it early tomorrow,lol.,grabbed my old LL Bean extreme weather 3 layer boots(they were handy,and back then,now width,got them on,hiked through snow,plugged in engine heater to tractor,cleaned snow off tractor,cleaned snow off winter van,snapped off antenna(that pizzed me off,probably will not be able to fix it till spring).Hanginging and old chairlift seat??? My neighbor has several of them,rusting in his yard,he bought them,thinking they would be a collectors item,lol.However,my old LL Bean super boots preformed awesome.LL Bean made good stuff,back in the old days.Had a case of brew in the winter van,brought it in,it is mostly frozen,LOL

 

Switched to Keen's myself a few years ago as the Merril's just were not lasting, first pair of Keen's lasted me 2 years and were awesome but the current pair started falling apart after only 6 months. Hoping I just somehow got a bad pair as I will be purchasing a new pair of Keen's again as I like most here really like them as they are superior to Merril's.

 

-28*F this morning, both pellet chewers are on and it's toasty warm in the shack
Disregard my weather sticky as it doesn't know what cold means in Canuck language

 

yup done that before with my dumb azz. Out, in repeat. Leave him out for a while and that usually solves that for now. Until he uses his claws to pick at the door weather strip to get my attention to let him back in like its a freaking doorbell -and tear up the rubber over time

yup, sometimes I want to strangle him, but he's still my little buddy

 

My final pair of Merrill didnt last long either, maybe a year. 2-3 years out of daily shoes that cost over $100 (well half a year each year) isnt too bad. Hope the new Keens hold up as I will be looking now to maybe get a winter pair of the same style I have now (if they still make em) on sale for end of season and hold on to them.

 

Happy Birthday Birddog91
