    Winter finally got here to the PacNW
    20 F and snow on the ground.

    I really thought that we were going to skate by and have a nothing winter.

    A bit late but its here finally

    Got both Whitfields burning away this morning.

    Went to bed at midnight with only the Advantage 2T running and this morning at 6 the house was 65 F noooooooooooooooooooooooo... quickly lit off the little Whit to catch things up..


    Snow covered trees and very little wind this morning...


    Ahhhh yesssssssssss winter time...

    I regularly have some "salty" responses for the voice command option on my phone when it cant understand what I said. :rofl: :lol:
    The phone is better than my truck's system, my phone is old and road noise likely interferes but jeez........

    Voice texting-you better re read it before sending. One time, the text could have got me in real trouble if I hadnt caught it :doh:

    No need for fireworks after that race. The crash with 2 laps to go had plenty of them. I did see one of the earlier crashes as I was checking in and that had some dramatics as well, just not as colorful. Seems like any time I checked in, they wrecked :whistle:

    Well she had them ran over and picked them up for $100 21 bags 5 minutes from the house very pleasant woman, have never tried Vermont's so for the price i figured what the heck why not. Filled the pellet bin and they smell lovely like pine, won't be hitting the hopper with the summer weather for a bit as I loaded the hopper this morning with LaCrete and topped it off with Inferno Gold (another one I have not tried)that I found at Aubuchon Hardware when i went to grab a new GFCI for the front porch.

    Yessir what I figured as they have to be at least $300 a ton in season ? Don't know have never seen them available around here but good to know it was a good score !
    Crack'slist it pays off to browse from time to time, actually liker her stove but have 3 already its an older Napoleon double hopper in mint shape don't think she put it to much use .

    I just hate having the room spin around me. I hate leaning forward a little bit too much, I hate tripping over my own feet, and I hate snow hiding the ice.:pain: Like Smokey, many of my meds have a warning on the about being dizzy or sleepy. Small wonder I need a nap or cup of coffee mid afternoon. In the house I don't need a cane, but when I leave home, I always have one with me. :BrianK:

    All of my BP meds have the warning, that's why I take them just before I go to bed. I usually can feel it before I get there.

    My BP med has a diuretic in it so they advised I take in in the morning so I an not getting up to pee in the night. Luckily it is a small dose and it doesnt give me issues.

    No diuretic in anything the Bear takes. Just plenty of dizzy and sleepy warnings. The whizzing pill I was one I was told to take just before going to bed because it had a nasty habit of making people fall down, go boom when they changed from down to up. Never could figure out what, if anything, it did for me.

    Some old farts have trouble in the whizzing department. That was what my whizzing pill was for. Strange you can't whiz what isn't there or if the muscles are on vaca. It was a good wake up and tooting pill for me.

    Spinning is not what I want to do, the first day I went to 5mg from 2.5 on the amLODipine damm near put me down over the cat litter dump area. Not exactly where one wants to go down. BP went through the floor. The Doc no longer dares mention changing that med.
