What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Eh, we'll see. Not really planning on shelling out 1000+ for a new SS fridge.

 

When we needed a new beer fridge we talked to our garbage man. We know him from a bar we used to go to. He is an independent. He not only takes care of the garbage, he does recycling also. He has this setup with a couple used appliance places. He works with them and they refurbish then sell it to who ever. I told him what we were looking for. I was looking for a side by side. He found one and took it to the appliance store where they went over and verified it worked and had a 30 day guarantee. Then he sold it to us for 150 bucks. Nice enough for kitchen.

 

A foot last weekend, supposed to be a few inches tonight and another 10" on the weekend. Hop on that Bodi' and start headin' NE. I'll let you play, er...... I mean plow all you want !!!!!!!!!!

 

Snowing here now. Just under than 2" but shows no signs of letting up yet.

 

Doing the diagnosis of what's going on with my fridge, it could simply be the starter relay for the compressor. The fridge is clicking about once a minute.
It's a $76-90 part, so I'll let the repair guy do his thing. If it was a cheaper part, I'd probably just buy the part and swap it myself. A replacement fridge like ours is $1100-1300. I'll be happy if $200 can fix it.

It's good that this happened in the winter. I simply use boxes and coolers for fridge stuff, and I either put them in the back patio for frozen stuff, and in the garage for refrigerated items. Still a hassle, but it could be worse. I made snowballs and threw them in the coolers. That worked.

 

Good news.

 

Just put it on the porch... plenty cold out there...

 

Wouldn't want his wine to get warm...….

 

Wine? Did the Packers lose?

 

For the most part. The frozen stuff stayed frozen last night even though it was warmer last night. Now it's already under freezing. It just dropped to 32° about an hour ago. It's going to get colder now...

Hopefully we have an operational fridge by the weekend.

 

Reds, yes. Whites, it got to like 35° today, which was perfect out, refrigerator weather. Our fridge is set at 38°, but the freezer was set at -2.

No, we're still celebrating our win over the Seahawks last weekend. .

There's a lot of wine in California, a lot more than in Wisconsin.

 

Win or lose this Sunday and I'm good. We swept the NFC North. Beating the Seahawks was sweet for me.

 

The fan blades were remarkably clean considering I've never cleaned them before. The fan spins, just doesn't go any faster.

I'll clean them off for S's and G's. The compressor isn't kicking on, and I found that these starter relays are prone to fail.

 

I agree. No matter what, it was a huge turn around for a first year head coach. That's coach of the year material.

 

Accomplished a little dirt moving today. Also cleared the concrete pad in front of the barn of ice and snow. With more snow coming overnight I wanted to get that cleaned of so I wasn’t fighting that ice any longer. I back dragged the snow off the pad and the ice held steady. Then I spread out about 20lbs of ice melt and let it work for several hours while I moved some clay. The warmer temperatures helped. And I was able to get the ice cleared. My wife finished off the rest of it a little later. Glad to have that hydraulic line replaced and a new plug installed in the heater on the 310J. The colder temperatures are coming. Sooner than later now.

 

Having a little cold snap, dropped to 5 below, so I threw a few more logs on the fire. That is all

 

Monin... ... fire's choochin' along... light snow is falling... Giz back inside after the usual chittin pizz, and frantic roll in the snow... ahhhh, paradise...

 

We have some new snow here, not sure how much but would guess 4-5”. The kids and wife have a two hour delay. Caffeine going in and then it will be time to make a trip to the gas station for some fuel. Cleaning up this white stuff will take a little while this morning. Not sure what kind of project I’ll get into after that. Stay safe and have fun folks.
