    You don't want to get me going on the games, I have two letters from this last one where they tell me I get nada, including the one that came shortly after them telling me I was in fact entitled to one. When the boss asked what I was going to do after the first letter I just said watch and wait. Maybe I should matt and frame the correspondence, then hang it on the wall. I just want to get that unneeded pile of crap covering my desktop in the trash. Got to sort through the year end crap and do the taxes. I hates paperwork and don't even ask about paying taxes so the idiots have funds to mess up with.

    A wonderful game not. I hope I get even more onerous the older I get, to the point I'll go native non PC on them.

    Sent mine in today to the tax preparer. I don't even attempt to do my taxes. Too many forms, where by, and therefore. I'll go in next Tuesday to sign off on them. Hoping for a refund.

    I would not be happy unless the end result is no taxes due at all and any all ready paid get refunded. Like I said I don't want to enable the idiots.

    It may not be your preferred choice, but an Attorney that specializes in Elder Care may be helpful - it's amazing what a few letters on 'official letterhead' can do to move things along ..

    Did the chauffeur this morning. About 5in of snow with starting of freezing rain and away we went for half hour drive. Made it back home and snowblowed the yard in freezing rain and later in the rain. My clothes was wet and got myself comfortable and had lunch. Then took a snooze which lasted until I had to go get the princess. I gathered I was exhausted.
    It did get nicer later in the day, high of about 40*F:D

    I did my normal making her smoothie and lunch, packing her phone etc and then starting her car. The freezing rain hadn't yet melted off the windshield, so as she came out I started to drive her and realized the roads were ok. I hopped out and she went on, it was 38 and raining by then. It was just our walk and drive that were slick. It reached 53 today and WINDY this morning. So I had shut the stove down and did the 6 bag cleaning. Much easier after doing the LBT.:yes:

    Ran out of luck. Woke up to a funky smell at 1 am. Glass is black, heat output is dismal. Got WWW up to get my shop vac and milk house heater from the garage. Turned it off, waiting for it to cool so I can clean it in the middle of the night:rolleyes:. Stupid is as stupid does, though I can add some pretty decent excuses :rofl: :lol:

    Yeah, you have excellent excuses. Too bad your stove didn't want to hear them. Hope you got it cleaned, happy, and going again!

    I'm surprised that with all the high winds we have had, the stove hasn't gone off line. A serious question came to mind, when doing the LBT method will it clean something inside the stove enough that it can sustain the higher backpressure?

    Off today to get a ton of LG's. I've been using the madders for horse bedding lately, so the supply is dwindling. I'm going to see about buying next years supply and picking up a ton each time I have to make a trip to civilization. It was 40 all night and will be 40 today. The rest of the week gets back to normal weather.
