    My son and I are about to head out on the water. Should be rather chilly today. Might need a warm up when I get home??

    Dex, Keep an eye on them Harmone boys while I'm away. Don't let em pick on smoke! The lil green dude is a bit sensitive ya know! ;)

    That's funny. Having "issues" is what my kids used to say for a multitude of things that they might be having problems with. The only "issue" I have is deliberately calling Harman, a "Harmon"or "Harmone." Ugh. :hair:
    Oh, by the way, it's a beautiful morning. This picture at my cousins home this morning.

    That is why we use the alternate spelling it is well suited for this "issue" :p.

    Since it's raining pretty good today I figured it's a good day to finally tear down and clean the stove. I'm going to test a graphite spray on my convection fan this year and see if it works to keep the dust from accumulating on the fan blades. I used it inside of my hopper last year with great results. My pellets now slide all the way down to the auger where as before they would "stick" on the sides no matter what I did to it.

    This is true , my Honey and I were sitting in the garage having cocktails :cheers: watching it rain we could see our breath. I did score another 10 bags of Clean Energy from Lowe's today :thumbs: I think I can squeeze in 20 more bags that would give me 2 tons.

    Got a new smart cell phone a month ago. Since then I have had nothing but problem with bill collectors and some ex wife of the patron who last had the phone number. I called to complain. didn't get very far. Then today I got two more calls. That put me over the edge. I called the cell phone company again. They suggestion I down load a number block app. I asked how in he$$ do I block a restricted caller? Then I asked about changing the number. They said I could pay for a number change. I lost it then. :hair:Why should I pay for changing a number when the number they gave me wasn't a clean number? :picard: With that, they changed the number. Their cost. No assurance this number is clean. :headbang:

    What did you do with the old number you had? Some phone companies allow blocking calls that are anonymous.

    Don't think we broke 60*F yesterday. Chilly rain and breezy had us near shivering out on the water. Last night was one of the coldest yet(41*), House was down to 64* this AM. Doing a little baking to help warm it up. Today should feel like a heat wave as its supposed to get above 70*. And the sun is already out.

    Happy Sunday everyone!

    I didn't port that number. I wasn't sure if I was going to keep this phone at the time. My wife took over the older phone and opted her number to it so it was getting confusing. The last straw was when I got calls from some ex wife of the person who had that phone.

    Went to HD today and saw some FSU's and GS's. I grabbed 10 bags of the FSU's while some one else looked at both pellets and grabbed the GS. I didn't say a word :whistle:

    Best that way, it often is like talking to a wall. When someone that sakes me why I choose the pellets I did, that is when offer my 2 cents. When I try to tell them about cleaning with the leaf lower, I really get that "alien" look! Best to look bewildered and move on.
